June inspiration by Jennifer Jacques

Hello Blue Fern fans!
Jennifer here for June inspirations.
2 layouts with the new Tattered walls collection and another one with previous release.

So, I will start today with a layout about my brother's first Spartan Race.  

I've start this layout by simply add some ink through a stencil on my background, 
which is The maid's room
Used a lot of new assorted ephemeras to built my focus point.
Numbers are cut out from In the garage paper.


Then' I've finish this first layout bu adding some flowers from my own stash, flairs, enamel dots and some dimensional black paint drops.

Really love that Blue Fern Studios now have ephemeras to complete our layouts :)

******************
For my second layout, it was also the Tattered Walls collection that have inspired me.  And my boyfriend gave me a challenge: using a Cercei's picture from Games of Thrones.

So let's start with it!


Here I've start with clear gesso on my background paper: Powder room (b-side)
Then, some sprays to add watercolors, some modeling paste with a stencil and some random stamping with differents Blue Fern Studios stamps.  Above, you can easily see the Tattered Newsprint stamp.  Under, Penned flourishes stamp.


You can see  an Opulence and Elegant Flourish chipboards, 
embossed with the new Sparkling navy embossing powder.
I'm glad that the Spring Peony matches my layout this well.  They surrounded my picture very nicely.


Spring blooms and a summer bloom complete my flowers clusterings.

Here again, ephemeras helped me a lot to build my focus point.
Finish with my usual paint splatters and that was it!

A few Blue Fern Studios flowers here and there mixed with some others from my stash.

Three layouts by Marie-Josee

Hello, Blue Fern Studios fans!

I am really happy to be back on the Blue Fern Studios for the third year. It will be very exciting with all the new products and paper collections!




My name is Marie-Josee, I am 40 years old and I live in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada, with my husband and my daughter. I have been scrapbooking since 2006. I love to create layouts, but I also create cards, mixed media projects and altered art.

You can see my work on my blog, Les créations de mariemily, or on my Facebook page, also called Les créations de mariemily.

I will now show you the three projects I created with three differents paper collections.

"Everyday Moments" layout

For this layout, I used the Déjà Vu paper collection.

I also used a piece of the Turkish Panel chipboard.


I altered it with Blue Fern Studios embossing powder (color Petal). I applied the embossing ink directly on the chipboard, and I sprinkled the powder here and there without covering the chipboard completely.


I did not alter the Everyday Moments chipboard because the color fitted with the rest of the layout.


"Always Remember" layout

For this layout, I used the Sanctuary paper collection.

I also used a piece of the Roman Clock Set - Large, the biggest one, as the focal point of my layout.


Here's how I altered it.

First, I added brown ink to the chipboard with the pad, leaving some bare spots here and there. Then, I added embossing ink randomly, only in some spots, and I used Blue Fern embossing powder (color Fern) to add touches of color here and there on the chipboard.

Then, I added gesso here and there with a dry brush.



I altered the title with a black ink pad, also leaving some bare spots. Then, using teal spray ink, I added more color to the chipboard.


Circles layout

For this layout, I used a paper from the Ombré Dreams collection and the Jumbo Rings panel. I put the panel on my paper and used a pencil to draw the inside of the circles. Then, I set aside the paper.


I primed the chipboard with gesso, and while it was still wet, I sprayed green ink on it.

While it was drying, I stamped the inside of the circles with the Blue Fern Studios round stamps. Then, I glued my chipboard to the paper and added more spray ink.

Here are some details!



Thanks for looking, and have a great week!

My first projects for Blue Fern Studios: Marie-Eve Bernard

Hello,

I'm so happy to present you my first three projects for Blue Fern Studios!  I'm so proud of being choose to be part of this great talented team.  I really hop to inspire you all year long.

My name is Marie-Eve Bernard.  I live in the beautiful Quebec City, Canada, with my family.  I'm the mother of two girls, Delphine and Mathilde, and pregnant of the third one (It's for July).  My husband, Laurent, will be surrounded by pink and princesses!  My family is my source of inspiration.  I'm a scrapbooker since more then 10 years now.  My style changed a lot over the past years.  I'm now passionate by mixed media.  I can't do a layout without getting my fingers dirty.  One thing that do not change over the years: my love of gorgeous papers, chipboards and flowers. So, I'm in heaven here with Blue Fern Studios products.


You can follow me there:


First Layout: Laughter

My first layout is made with the gorgeous Déjà Vu collection. I love the soft look of this collection.




On this flourish piece, I completely recovered it with the Iris Embossing Powder.  After, I emboss it a second time entirely with the Pearl Embossing Powder.  Finally, I add a little touch of Icicle Embossing powder.


The frame is simply embossed with the Icicle Embossing Powder.  For my title piece, I cover it with heavy Gesso and create texture with a stiff brush, just like stucco.  When the gesso is dry, I used a spray ink to color it.

Second Layout:  Sweetheart

My second layout is ma with the brand new collection Blush!  This collection is simply gorgeous, girly and romantique.  It is completely my style and fall in love with it immediately.



On my background work, you can see that I use two Blue Fern Studios Stamp set (listed bellow).  On my Berry stems, I used Garnet Embossing Powder first and a little touch of the Otmeal one. My title is cut from the Valentine Cards paper. I use a tool to distress it on the edges.

My third layout is  made with the new Timeless Collection.  Such a wonderful collection too!  I was perfect for a picture of me in front of the Château de Chambord in France.  




I covered my frame with the Garnet Embossing Powder and ad touch of Mistic Plum.  I cut the corner flourish in two to have one on each side of my photo.  I use Mystic Plum Embossing Powder on the flourish pieces. For my title, I use the same technique from the first layout, but i apply two colours of spray ink.

Summer snapshots

Hello BFS fans!
I hope you've all been great! I'm happy to be back and share with you some of the colorful snapshots from my summer.

'Bloom and grow'
It's all about the soft, white washed colors, with just a hint of teal and pink. The chipboards treatment is simple - I'm using either plain or just covered with a layer of gesso.
Chipboards: Deja vu border, Blue Fern frame (piece), Layering stems


'Totally love you'
This is one of my favorite BFS papers and I've been saving it for long! It's so decorative that it needs just a small amount of embellishments. I used piecec of old lace and chipboards to frame my story.
Some messy stamping is just added to get more contrast in the pastel backgrund.
Chipboards:Radiant suns, Blue Fern frame, Dot grid panel, Quaterfoil panel


'Remember (Krakow marketsquare)'
A selfie with my daughter while visiting Krakow marketsquare! A quick vacation layout, if you don't count the time for fussy cutting the roses ;)
Chipboards: Mixed chains, Grunge frames, Memory frames, Blue Fern frame (yes! again - this giant piece lasts forever)


I have about 1000 photos from this summer, so I might be sharing some more next time :)
Have a great day everybody!

Inspired by Elena Morgun

"Happy" layout

For the background I used a paper from Love Story Collection. I love this kind of papers! Wonderful background to make a photo stand out. This shot was made while my kids were going crazy:) It's very difficult to take a photo with both of them, but I am trying my best.
