Spring Parade

 Good Morning. I am back with another Blue Fern post. I have to keep this one short as I've blown my shoulder out (of course dominant hand) so I am one finger typing. I have another spring layout for you (can you tell I've had enough of winter?)

This is Spring Parade made after the collection I made it with!

I did my usual little enhancement of the background with gesso and a iced purple Gelato. I heat embossed a pattern on my page using a Blue Fern stamp for added texture. A little stamping and it was done.

I used this chippie from Blue Fern called Willow Flower. I heat embossed it with Sage and a purple color from my stash.

I fussy cut all the flowers surrounding my photo from the paper Joyful. I also cut out a circle in my background paper June and backed it with a cutout from the sheet Sunrise. All the blooms on this layout are from Blue Fern.

A close-up of the bottom cluster. Love the purple and pink bloom from Happy Blooms. 

And the final close-up is my title. I love how you can use the bottom tabs of these papers on your layout. My title is from one side of the page and the matting behind my photo is from another side. No waste here! 

I hope you enjoyed this touch of spring although I know some of you are heading into fall across the world. But it's definitely an Easter page. Love those little baby chicks!

Well I have to stop here so thank-you for visiting and I hope to see you soon!

All the best! :)

Spring with Spring Parade

Good morning! Such a beautiful day outside for a change (no snow!!) and it puts me into the mood to share this latest layout I've done for Blue Fern Studios called Spring.

 I've used the Spring Parade Collection for this layout as the papers are chocked full of Easter colors and Easter is only around the corner.

 My back ground was first given a coat of clear Gesso. I then went over it with the Mini Tile Mania Mask from TCWS and some molding paste. I then sprinkled embossing powder in it's a Girl from Blue Fern all over the molding paste and heat embossed it. I love the way it came out!I then did very little stamping with the Tattered Newsprint Stamp and added a few small pink pearls.

I layered my papers behind my photo, some in long strips others in shorter strips. On the shorter strips I added some chipboard pieces Grid Pieces and embossed them with white enamel. I also used a large piece of chipboard called Chesterville Shelf and cut it into sections to make it spread out amongst my page.

I embossed this part of the shelf with It's A Girl Pink and Sage.I like layering chipboard on top of each other.

Another piece of the shelf is used here as a backdrop for this flower cluster made up of a variety of Blue Fern Blooms. I also used embossed masking tape on my page for added texture.

My final piece of the Chesterville Shelf was used as a border for my photo. I painted the top part with the small flowers a pale yellow and then used Ginger and Sage to finish it off.

Last close-up of the Pink Topaz Seedlings and some pink pearls. I so enjoyed working with these pastel colors it actually felt like spring just my become a reality soon! Let's keep our fingers crossed!

All the best! :)

i believe in faitytales with Amber & Apricot

Welcome! I am so glad to see you here. I have another Blue Fern design team project for you.

 This month I used the refreshing Amber & Apricot line filled with oranges,browns and yellow! I decided to play with the orange components for this project. I used a white piece of cardstock as my background and stamped around it with a stamp from the Flutter Music stamp set. I then covered the page in clear gesso.

My background consists of some masking and misting using Lindy's Cosmopolitan Pink mist. I then did some stamping with some Blue Fern stamps. I fussy cut the large blooms from the A side of Flora and added them to either side of a strip I tore from Joyful.

 I used Floral Lattic bits chipboard along the sides of my photo and heat embossed them with Bloodorange embossing powder. I also used Chelsea Vines in my flower clusters.

I used Apricot Blooms, Spring Blooms and one other unkown Blue Fern flower in my clusters as well as a few blooms from my stash.

A close-up of the top cluster.

The bottom cluster with the Blue Fern chippies, gorgeous blooms and a flair from my stash.

I added some beads inside of the Floral lattice bits.
