Hello paper folks! I'm up on the 13@rts blog today, sharing my first page with a black background. I had this dandelion photo in my stas...
Hello friends, how have you been? Half the year has been gone and summer is now upon us! It has been such a great and fulfilling year so far and I'm really thankful for all the people that have come into my life. For my blog post today on Blue Fern Studios, I have two projects to share with you using some of my favourite past collections. First is a shadow box display which I intend as a gift to a dear friend. I've done something different this time in that, I went without my usual mixed media background but instead, focused on the Blue Fern papers and chipboards. I've been meaning to do this but couldn't find the right project to start off. The shadow box I found in my LSS was just perfect! Here is the piece, created using Autumn Anthology papers: I'm particularly drawn to this collection because of the beautiful shade of cobalt blue mixed with coral Michele used in the papers. If you know me by now, blue is one of my favourite colors and I can't use enough of it. It's a good thing I have two boys that I can use the color for! There are also plenty of images that I can fussy cut out from this collection and you can see that I wasted no time in doing just that. Some details in the close-ups: Love this hot air balloon! A little tea cup basket does remind me of the spinning tea cup ride at amusement parks in my childhood. I've dabbed some Sticklers on for a nice glittery effect. Chained Bits and Berry Stems chipboard which I had altered with Imagine Ink embossing powders. For Berry Stems, I first painted with some shimmery watercolors before using Grassy Knoll EP randomly. For Chained Bits, I first used Auburn EP, followed by Mushroom and Buttercup EP before topping it off with Copper Glitter. Using the Marseille Frame here, which fit the display perfectly. I first covered it with copper metallic paint before brushing on clear crackle paint for extra texture. A Flutter Page Dangle which I had snipped up. I first colored it with Gelato, then stamped and embossed with Cotton Candy and Watermelon EPs. A flower which I altered with glitter in Sunshine and Dusty Pink. Blue Fern Studios products used: paper: Autumn Anthology - Le Ballon, Balcony, Calling Cards chipboard: Marseille Frame, Berry Stems, Chained Bits, Flutter Page Dangle Imagine Ink: embossing powders - Grassy Knoll, Auburn, Mushroom, Buttercup, Cotton Candy, Watermelon glitter - Copper, Sunshine, Dusty Pink My second project is a layout using the Frolic collection. It matches the theme of my eldest playing in the grass field. The bits of yellow and blue really brings out the mood of feeling the sun on my face on a cloudless day. Details in the close-ups: A subtitle from Calling Cards. Whimsy Flourish which I had altered. My title piece, altered with embossing powders and glitter. Fussy cutting here Looped Frames which I had altered with embossing powders and glitter.
