Beach Babe, Featuring Seaside Cottage by Blue Fern Studios

Hi everyone!  Back today to share my third layout created for Blue Fern Studios featuring the new Seaside Cottage collection.  I've had the privilege of designing for Blue Fern for the last year and it's been a real pleasure to work with all of their fabulous products.  Seaside Cottage by far is my favorite collection.

My layout was created using the Glory paper for the background.  Love the colors on the paper.  I added some mint inking and mist to various areas on the paper along with some masking using a flower stencil.  Once I applied the modeling paste I sprinkled the flowers with some Petal Embossing Powder.  An added touch with some random stamping and paint splatters.  Lots of layering under the photo using Glory, Regalia, Splendor and Voyage papers.

I cut the Sea Shell Chipboard Frame in half to add some dimension to my layout.  I embossed it with a mixture of Petal, Snow, Mushroom, Sea Mist, Breeze and 14 Karat Embossing Powders.  Love the variation in the colors and how well they compliment the flowers,  Seaside Lilies, Attic Charm Daisies, Tranquil Lilies and Tranquil Blooms.

I wanted a soft look to the title Beach Babe.  To obtain the look I used a mixture of Snow, Petal and Breeze Embossing Powders.  I added some pieces from the Crackle Bits chipboard, embossed with Snow and Petal Embossing Powders under the Attic Charm Daisy.

A Walk On The Beach, Featuring Seaside Cottage by Blue Fern Studios

Hi Every!  Back today to share another layout created for Blue Fern Studios featuring their newest collection, Seaside Cottage. I how I wish I were walking along the beach right now.  Its been extremely hot here in Maryland, a good excuse to stay indoors!

This layout features the Relics paper.  Beautiful pastels and details on the paper.  I added some light inking behind my photo and added some flourish stenciling.  Minimal layering under my photo with the Glory paper, both sides.


 To the left of the photo I used the Floral Spray chipboard which I embossed with Snow and Breeze Embossing Powders and a little Blue Ice Glitter.  Clusters of flowers including the new Seaside Lilies, Courtship Blooms, Tranquil Blooms and Tranquil Lilies.



I love how the title came out.  A mixture of Snow and Breeze Embossing Powders.

Summer Vacation, Featuring Seaside Cottage by Blue Fern Studios

Hi everyone!  Hope you all enjoyed the weekend!  I know I did.  The weather was perfect, family and friends close at hand and lots accomplished. Hard to believe it's August.  Where has summer gone?  I'm up on the Blue Fern Studios blog today sharing my latest creations with the new collection, Seaside Cottage.  A perfect collection to capture those summer memories!

I enjoyed working on this layout and especially creating with the Seaside Cottage chipboard pieces and mixing various colors of the Imagine Ink Embossing Powders.  I created this layout for a good friend of mine.  Isn't that a fabulous picture!!!  I used the Gala paper for my background.  I added stars with a stencil which I sprinkled with some Mushroom and 14 Karat Embossing Powders and a few paint splatters. Lots of layering under the photo with Calling Cards and Splendor papers.

Love the Seaside Mermaid.  I embossed the body with Oatmeal Embossing Powder and added some chunky glass glitter and Caribbean Imagine Ink Glitter to the tail.

Look at these gorgeous new flowers from the Seaside Lilies and Seaside Roses collections.  I applied some Imagine Ink Blue Ice Glitter to the large blue rose.  Beneath the flowers I used the Seaside Flourish Chipboard.  Lots of embossing.  Grassy Knoll and Verdant Embossing Powders were mixed to create the vibrant green.  A mixture of  In The Navy, Seven Seas and Breeze Embossing Powers for the blue flowers. Tucked away in the lilies I used the Natural Springs chipboard set, embossed with Grassy Knoll, Verdant and 14 Karat.  The anchor was embossed with a mixture of Mushroom and 14 Karat.

The title Summer Vacation was embossed with a mixture of Mushroom and 14 Karat Embossing Powders.
