Contemplation - Featuring Blue Fern Studios Courtship Lane Papers

Hi everyone!  Happy Friday!!!!!!!  It's been a long week and I'm so happy that the weekend is here!  I'm back today to share my third layout created for Blue Ferns Studios featuring the new Courtship Lane papers.  Love this new collection!
I used the Town Gossip paper for my background.  I added several layers of papers under my photo using Royal Secret, West Plaza and Parkway papers.  Lots of masking, paint splatters and stamping with the Forever and Garden Frolic stamps.

The title Contemplation is from Serendipity Words 1.  I embossed it with some Pearl and Petal embossing powders.  Here you can see some of the stamping along with the Floral Lattice Bits Chipboard piece tucked beneath the flowers, embossed with the Pearl and Petal embossing powders.

Here is another close up of the Floral Lattice Bits chipboard.


Beneath the photo I used a portion of the Garden Celebration chipboard, embossed with Pearl and Petal embossing powders.

Reminisce Featuring Blue Fern Studios Courtship Lane

Hi everyone!  
Hard to believe that Spring is right around the corner.  The weather is getting warmer and this week's temps here are going to be in the 70's!  Today is my reveal day at Blue Fern Studios.  I enjoyed working with the new paper collection Courtship Lane.  As always the papers are beautifully detailed.  
 My first layout features the Lovers Lane paper. Love the details and colors.  I used the Calling Cards paper to layer under the photo of my grandparents. I added some masking and paint splatters to the background paper along with misting using the Imagine Ink Cotton Candy Mist and stamping with the Arcadia Textures stamp.


I used three pieces of chipboard here.  The Poppies Collage under my photo and Bits Of Honey on each side of the photo and Chelsea Vines tucked in my flower clusters.  I embossed the Poppies Collage and Bits of Honey with a mixture of Ginger, Oatmeal and Cotton Candy embossing powders and  added some Dusty Rose  and Fools Gold Glitter.  The Chelsea Vines were embossed with Sage and Verdant and sprinkled with some Peridot glitter.

My title Reminisce is from the Serendipity Words 2.  I inked it with brown ink and randomly embossed with Ginger, Oatmeal and Cotton Candy embossing powers.  I love the aged effect.

Blue Fern Studios March Sketch Challenge featuring Courtship Lane

Hi everyone!  
Happy March 1st!  Only  a couple more weeks and Spring will be here. Today I have a new layout to share created for the March sketch challenge at Blue Fern Studios featuring the new paper collection Courtship Lane,  another beautiful paper collection full of lovely colors and details designed by Michelle Singh. I chose to scrap a photo of my parents in front of their first home.  I used the Main Street paper for my background and West Plaza Side B, East Plaza, Royal Street and Calling cards to create layering under my picture.  Lots of stamping on my background and layers using the Halftone and Arcadia Textures stamps and paint splatters.

Here is the March sketch:

And here is the beautiful new Courtship Lane collection ****COMING SOON*****

I used a mixture of the Lilac and Mystic Plum embossing powders and dusty Rose Glitter on the word Happy from the Laughter, Happy, Smile chipboard set.  I lightly added some Dusty Rose Glitter on the flowers.

On each side of my picture I used the Persian Ornament chipboard which I embossed using the Lilac and Mystic Plum embossing powders.  

On the right side I used the Whimsy Flourish chipboard, embossed with the Lilac and Mystic Plum embossing powders.
