Garden Life Layouts by Kris Berc

Hi, Blue Fern Studios fans! It's Kris here to share a few new layouts with you.  All three feature the new paper collection called Garden Life.

Cute Stuff

My first layout features the Garden Life - Wallflowers paper. I treated it with gesso, drops of ink, modeling paste through a stencil, the Serendipity Medley stamp, and a stamp from the Forever stamp set.

I clustered some Garden Florals and Garden Blooms with a few other items from my stash.

I framed the photo with a chipboard piece from the Graduated Circles set embossed with 14 karat embossing powder.  The Garden Lattice Bits and the "Cute Stuff" title from the Good Vibes set were first embossed with Sunlight Rose embossing powder and then embossed a second time with Rusty Rose embossing powder.

Life is Full of Surprises

My flower cluster includes Chesterville Florals and Harvest Lilies. I sprinkled some microbeads from my stash for added texture.

 I framed the photo with a chipboard piece from the Splattered Circles set and a negative piece from the Brick Rings set.  They are covered with Sand and Sea embossing powder.  The title piece, Life is full of Suprises, is embossed in Ebony embossing powder.

I also layered 3 pieces of Garden Life - Felicity paper behind the photo.  This was a fun day, by the way... we surprised my daughter with her first trip to the roller rink, and she learned to skate in no time!

Friends by Bev Code

Hi Blue Fern Studios fans. I am using the amazing HAPPY ACCIDENT Collection on this page.

"Friends"

Hi... Bev here today. As Fan of the Month at Blue Fern Studios I am thrilled to be able to create using layers of paper from the HAPPY ACCIDENT collection. I then stamped using WASHI STRIPS &  BLOOM & STEM stamps, HAPPY ACCIDENT chipboards and some of the newest IMAGINE INK GLITTER added sparkle to the page. I finished it off with a small cluster of SPRING FLORAL flowers. I am thrilled to be able to share with you the amazing products I used them on my project. 

This Friends page is my Grand Daughter and her little childhood friend. 

I am sharing with you how I used the  Blue Fern Studios stamps inked on to the open spaces. One I  used the newest glitter which I applied onto the glued spots around the stamped image. 

Tap off the excess glitter onto a piece of paper to collect it. You will want to save this for another project. Fold over the paper and slide the excess glitter back into the bottle for future projects.

Here is the  multi tone stamped image with the glitter applied around it. 

Using the same process as above... scatter the glitter over the glued section on the chipboard. Turn sideways over the piece of paper to tap off excess. Save the excess glitter and put back into the container.

Here is the finished chipboard piece all coloured and glittered.

In this section I also added some amazing flowers from the Blue Fern Studios collections. 

In this section I added more inked chipboard arrow words coloured with ink or copics. I stamped a border  in lower corner and also added a chipboard accent.

Hi Everyone,

Today I would like to share with you a couple of projects  that I made  featuring the new Garden Life  collection.

I used  Garden Life - Sun Kissed o create my  first project, called "Blossom".

To create the background I used stencil, modeling paste and Honey embossing powder.

I covered the Natural Spring Set chipboards with watercolor paint.

And finished my project with some flowers that I "fussy cut" from Flower Bed and Snippets papers. I also used  Spring Lilies  flowers  and Printed Chipboard to decorate it.

Using the Garden Life Collection I created my second layout "Hello Darling". You can check the video tutorial at the end of this post.

For the main page I used Garden Life - Snippets.

Then, I used  stencil, gesso and Pearl embossing powder to create a delicate texture for the background.

I stamped the background with tattered stamp to add some contrast to the page.

Then covered with Snow embossing powder  the Ornate Frames and Blossom Branches chipboard.

I finished  with  gorgeous accents that I cut from Flower Bed and Sun Kissed papers, Blossom flower and other embellies.
