dear Santa

Hello and welcome to something different, Summer in July here at Blue Fern! For my part I did a Christmas layout.
For Dear Santa I used the beautiful Vintage Christmas and Vintage Christmas 2. paper lines. I love theses papers as they have so many pretty graphics to fussy cut and they use traditional Christmas colors. 
I used a mask on my background from Fabrika Decoru to imitate falling snow. Sadly you can't really see it in this photo. I used number 2 lace and sprayed it with gold paint. I also used the Christmas Collage Stamp to stamp little golds bursts across the page. I heat embossed the bursts with Glistening Sand. A bloom from Prima and two small white roses from the Heartland Collection added a nice touch.
I fussy cut some elements from the papers and popped them up for added dimension.

I used the ornate wreath chipboard to frame my photo and heat embossed it with Glistening Sand and Garnet. I wanted to stay with the colors on my page. I also heat embossed some drywall tape for added dimension on my page.
Another fussy cut character.
My last close-up for today.
Hope you enjoyed!
All the best!

Fabulous


Hello! Welcome back to my blog. I am back today with a layout done using new the Radiance Collection from Blue Fern Studios.
 This photo is of my exceptionally talented granddaughter Emily striking a pose in her dance costume.
For the background I did my usual prep. Then added some color with a  Tim Hotlz Distress Ink pad.I then stenciled some designs around the photo. I used the chipboard word Fabulous for my title. I heat embossed it with bubblegum embossing powder.
I used a piece of the new chipboard from the Radiance collection I believe it's called medallion. I cut it up (I usually cut up my chipboard to make it last longer or to have more options for my page). I heat embossed it with the new sparkly yellow embossing powder also from the Radiance line. I used some Art stones for extra texture.
I used several Dark Tropic Lilies and Radiance Blooms for this cluster. I also used seedlings in Tickled and Glass to put on my flowers and around my title.
This collection comes with adorable metal charms. I used the Radiant flower charms.
I also used several pieces of ephemera to add more layers to my layout.
And last close up for today!
