The Best Moments Panel


Hello all, it's Aida from @aidaville  ..... can you believe it's already April ? The Blue Fern Studios Blog is where pretty things get posted and I am so glad you are back ! Today I have a panel using pops of red from the florals and I LOVE how they add brightness to this piece.

Here are the products I used :
Blue Fern Studios supplies :
Printed Chipboard - Wanderlust  |  Happy Accident
Papers :
Happy Accident #2 - Faux  |  Damsel
Remnants -  Callaway  |   Devonshire  |   Wesfield
Blue Fern Florals
Others :
Collage Medium, Acrylic Paints, Water Soluble Crayons, Texture Paste,
White Gesso, small assorted leaf die-cuts. metal book corners and brads.

I started with a frame shape cut out from the Remnants paper with an external measurement of  height 7" and 5" at the top/bottom. A thin foam backing was glued under the frame. Distress the edges with a sharp craft knife.

Next I trimmed another paper 8" x 6" (or slightly larger than the frame) and adhered the frame to the center. This is the base of the panel and I started working at adding all the elements.



"The Best Moments" is a title you can substitute with any tag you have in your supplies. 


I found a metal embellishment that fitted over the title and added a brad to match.


The pops of red from the flowers add such a pretty accent to the panel ! 


Add chipboard embellishments for dimension.




Thank you for dropping by, remember to come back for more gorgeous work from the Blue Fern Studios Team, see you soon !

August Inspirations by Jennifer Jacques

Hello fanatics!

It's my turn on the blog today and I have my usual  3 layouts for you!
3 layouts, 3 different collections :)

First of all, I will start with a Remnants layout.
"Vignette" paper is my background on which I applied clear gesso, paste with a stencil and finally added some sprays and splatters.  To add more texture, some random stamping with Grungy grid stamp.


The Butterfly grid was covered with black gesso and some wax.  In layers, some flairs through my Blue Fern Studios flowers like Spring florals and some Spring peony & berries.  I've completed with some other flowers from my stash and small ornements.  Also used Devonshire paper to die-cut my leaves ;)


My title came from the chippies set Seasons and was perfect for a lilac picture from my backyard.
Simply embossed it with the magnificent Amethyst embossing powder.  As a final touch, some Tickled seedlings :)

Here is an old-fashioned layout for me: no mixedmedia here!
With the beautiful In the mood collection :)


The background is Peaceful paper and I've made some tags out of Ecstatic and Pensive papers.  You can see them better just below.  The title is from Arrow words chippies set and was covered with black gesso and waxes.  Below the red tag, you can see that I've used the border of Lace #2 to add dimensions to my layout.



Above, I've placed some die-cut doilies under my clustering and 
embossed 2 of them with Pink Dust embossing powder.

Below, I've completed my flower clustering with  Natural Sprigs set and choose to embossed them with one of my favorite green color for leaves and that is Forest embossing powder.


Also done some random stamping on my background with my favorite stamp: Tattered Newsprint.

Tattered Walls collection layout :)

The Sun Room is my background here.  Clear gesso, watercoloring, splatters and some white embossed stamping with Tattered Newsprint stamp again (told you it was my fav ;) and Snow EP.


You can barely see under that I've placed my focal point on Screen panel piece which is simply covered with white gesso.    Some Doodle Flowers chippies are embossed with  It's a girl EP, a soft pink glittery embossing powder.  This beautiful fuschia flower came from Heartland Blossoms.

Here, the pink flowers are Remnants blooms and the whites are from 2 different sets: 
Christmas blooms and Garden blooms.  
The delicate leaves are die-cut pieces from The Garage paper.


The title is from Tattered walls ephemeras.  You can also see some other pieces on my picture's right side.  In some places, also tucked in some Burgundy Lace 10 flowers.

White Wash

Hi everyone!  It's Valerie today with a few layouts using the amazing new collection from Blue Fern Studios -Ombré Dreams.  After I created my first two layouts, I realized a pattern.  I was treating all the chipboard pieces with white paint.  So I kept with that trend for all 3 layouts.

For this layout,  I wanted to keep things simple and really let the photo and soft background pattern show through.  I have used the Wild Flourish Bundle which was painted white.  I first primed the chipboard with gesso, and then painted it with Titanium White paint.  I find it gives a whiter white than just using gesso.  
This paper is Leslie's Dream
 

To add a little color, I brushed some orange ink on the edges, which you can see better in the close-up image below.


This image shows the glorious goodness of this paper!  Aren't the details amazing?



For my next layout, I chose the beautiful blue Susan's Dream paper from the Ombré Dreams collection, since my niece has such beautiful blue eyes.


The following 2 close ups show the Twilight Garden Frame, which I cut in half.  I tucked one half to the right of the photo, and the remaining part of the frame can be seen to the left.  I primed these pieces, painted them white, then stamped them with a script stamp.  Instead of using black, I used a softer gray chalk ink. 



I inked the Calligraphic Border with one of the same colors of distress ink that I used with a stencil.


For my third layout, it was pink all the way!  I began with the Shannon's Dream paper.  I chose the less patterned side of the paper because I wanted to add some book paper and lots of mist.


I used several pieces of chipboard on this layout.  Initially I painted them all white, but ended up applying embossing powder to some of them.  Here you can see the lamp from the Second Hand Furnishings set.  I used some chunky embossing powder on this one.  You can also see a piece of the Leafy Page Accents that I cut into several pieces and used throughout the layout. 


Here I have used one of the Ornate Medallions, which was painted white and embossed.


In the main cluster I have used the Ornate Medallions, Doodle Flowers and Leafy Page Accents, which I have painted white.  A few of them have also been heat embossed.


Once again I used gray ink and mist on this layout.  I really like it instead of black on light colored layouts.

I hope you enjoy your day, and thanks for stopping by!

It started with 2 pieces of Kraft paper...

 It's me, Lisa!! December is here!! I hope that everyone is getting into the holiday spirit!!! Well, with the hustle and bustle of the season, It may be a little difficult to find time to create. But Create I must, so I pulled out 2 pieces of 12x12 Kraft paper..After all, it is the color of chipboard. I covered them with gesso...Then the magic began...

 I created this layout as a gift for a dear friend who lost her husband this year.
I primed the Graduated Circles with gesso. Then painted them with acrylic glaze and dabbed some black paint over it when it was dry.

 I painted the By the Sea words with flat black acrylic paint.


  I always save the innards from my panels chipboard. The diamonds came from the Harlequin Page Panel. I glued them to the background and painted them with gesso to blend in, before I sprayed the whole page with mists.


  This next layout was totally inspired by Australian artist Di Garling. I just pulled some chipboard from my collection and got busy.


To adorn the Spring Branch, I covered it with some texture paste and let it dry. Then I painted it with acrylic glaze.


I painted the Doodle Flowers with acrylic glaze as well. I added a rhinestone to the middle of this one.

 
I painted and tucked some of the Doodle Flowers among the flower cluster.


Thank you for joining me today on the Blue Fern Studios Blog. Make sure you check back often to see the inspiration created by Design Team. You can join me on my blog for details, and the story behind the By The Sea layout.
