Pages and Mood Board from Kasia

Hello guys! Kasia Krzymińska here to share with you some of my works made with gorgeous Blue Fern Studios chipboards. 

This time I got for you layout, art-journal page and my mini mood board. Let's start with layout. I used b&w photograph of my dear Mom and her friend in the garden when they were very young girls. My Mom is very special to me, she is amazingly talented woman with great sense of humor which I adore. That is why I chose the word "Joy" as a title. 

Chipboard used:

Good Vibes set

Nifty tags and tickets

Next page I want to share with you was made in my new art-journal where I decided to collect all memories from ProzArt. It is very simple and mixed-media. Only the background and this cute chipboard frame. I covered it with gesso and ArtAnthology Sorbet paint - Frost so it's shining. 

Chipboard used:

Picture Perfect set

And here is my mini August mood board. The color combo that I found very inspiring this month is red and teal. Hope you like it too. I used Quatrefoil Panel to make some background.

A Quick Tutorial with Kelly

Hi there! Kelly here, with a quick tutorial and some ideas on how to use your chipboard and the punched out bits from your chipboard shapes in a new way. 

"The Best Day Ever"

I decided to use this to create a whimsical layout...I added in some of the "Cloudy Skies" pieces, which I primed with Gesso, then used the same emboss/resist technique as I described above. I fussy cute the photos of my little girls and placed them upon the clouds.

Behind the cloud pieces I tucked away threads, cheesecloth, tissue paper, and pearl flourishes to add to the whimsical feel. Here are some close ups of the finished project:

I added the Best Day Ever title, which was simply embossed with white powder.

The small hearts are also "left over" pieces from the Hearts Panel.

Chipboard Used:

 Best Day Ever

Cloudy Skies

along with "punch outs" from...

Quatrefoil Panel

Bits of Honey

Heart Panel

Lattice Gate

Here is another layout I created using a similar background style, once again using "leftovers" from the Quatrefoil Panel, along with the Directions set.

"Three"

Nothing like a cluster of arrows to draw attention to the photo, right?

To add extra texture to the quatrefoil pieces I sprinkled on some white mica fragments, and also dabbed them with a texture medium.

Cluster Layouts by Kristine Henanger

Hi everyone! 

Kristine Henanger here with you today to show
 you some projects I have been working on this month!
I hope you enjoy :)

"Boys will be boys"

There is endless ways to use or decorate your chipboard pieces, and one of my favorit way to do it, is to layer the piece with many layers of paint, ink, stamping, crackle paint, glitter, embossing and so on. 

On this page I started of by putting gesso on all the pieces. Then I used the same glimmermist as on the background, and finger painted the chipboard, to give it a random look.

I put some more gesso on, allso using my fingers, to make the white more visible again.
Then I used some stamps and just put it all over, before I finished of by putting some ink on the edges to create shadows.

 On this layout I have used following chipboard pices from Blue Fern Studios

                                        " Boys will be boys"                         "petite boutique frames"

"picture perfect"

"Today"

I am all about the cluster style, details, layers and colors (especially turquoise)... 

But sometimes I like to create a "clean and simple" cluster pages, like this one.

To make the chipboard match my page I put gesso and ink on all the pieces.
To give it a random look I always use my fingers to paint with
(it is a bit messy, so you can use gloves if you like).
On the skies I used sandpaper to create a worn/aged look.

 On this layout I have used following chipboard pices from Blue Fern Studios:

                                    " Brigitte Butterfly set"                                 " widgetworks"

                                                                      "cloudy skies"

Thank you for stopping by! I hope you found some inspiration here today :)
