I have been playing with some
fabulous papers from Blue Fern Studios. This is the first time I have
worked with these papers and I just cannot get over the wonderful
quality of each sheet and the stunning designs on them, what a pleasure
it's been ( I can see a new obsession brewing here!)
The
photo's of our youngest were taken on a sports award night that she
attended and was awarded Sportswoman of the Year. The photos were taken
before the ceremony and so I will now also be having to scrap the photos
of her with the awards too!
I started off with a sheet of Serendipity -
Chronicle as the background and took a sheet of Serendipity -
Imagination which I cut a random wavy edge around and also inked up the entire edge with a dark brown ink pad.
On
the right hand side I tore a line in towards the centre of the page and
then rolled the edges back. I chopped up the sheet of Serendipity
Calling Cards, chose the ones I wanted for this page and gently inked the edges. These were then used up for layering around the photos
In my kit I had a sheet of Bazill Cardstock called
Lagoon
and because of the small tints of blue in the actual papers, I thought I
would use the cardstock to create some flowers to adorn the page. I
punched out
several flowers, spray misted the die cuts with water and allowed them
to soak in for a while, before then scrunching each one up and putting
to one side to dry for using later.
Once they had dried out I layered them up and stuck a nice big flat backed gem in the centre ( I LOVE a bit of bling!)
I don't know about you but I really love using
chipboard embellishments
on my pages, they are so versatile and can be left plain as they come
or can be inked, painted, glittered etc to dress them up. I took these
Blue Fern Studio
Berry Stems dabbed them with an
Aqua Acrylic Dabber
and then gently sponged some tiny patches with some gold acrylic paint.
I also added some little crystal bling on some of the berries.
I quite often like to add butterflies to my pages, so I printed out some onto white card and then coated with
Sprinkled Sugar Stickles.
I also used a beautiful chipboard
Romantic Page Dangle
which I painted in brown and over dabbed with some gold acrylic paint.
Using some jute twine I criss crossed stitched across the torn section
on the right hand side of the page and layered the chipboard dangle over
the top, adding crystals, a butterfly and also another handmade
blossom.
I finished the page off by adding a few crystals here and there and also using a bottle of
Mercury Glass Stickles , I used various round items as a stencil and dotted the
Stickles in blobs around them.
I enjoyed using these products so much and cannot wait to play with them some more, if you pop over to
Papermaze you can see all the products I have used , especially the beautiful papers in the
Blue Fern Studios ranges.
Thanks so much for looking at this post, I hope you have a super scrappy week.
Warmest wishes
