Blue Fern Studios - I Think You're Wonderful

Hello blog friends! As we head into the weekend I'm hoping to inspire you with my latest Blue Fern Studios layout. This one features the new Wanderlust collection papers, flowers, and printed chipboard.

I started with the gorgeous Wanderlust Ocean Voyage paper and prepped it with clear gesso.  I couldn't resist coloring the paper with yellow spray inks to match those beautiful, vibrant yellow flowers in the Wanderlust Vine! I then applied modeling paste through a stencil and some black stamping here and there with the new Travel Time stamp.

I treated the title chipboard piece with two embossing powders: Summer Breeze and Starry Night.

I used the same treatment on the Garden Lattice Bits chipboard.

I tucked a Wanderlust printed chipboard piece in at the bottom right of the photo, then layered on a Wanderlust Vine, a Wanderlust Lily, and a white rose from the Happy Roses set.

Blue Fern Studios - Happiness

Hi blog friends! I'm back with another Blue Fern Studios layout featuring the new Wanderlust collection.  This one is called "Happiness".

I started with the gorgeous Wanderlust Mountain View paper. I was inspired by the blue pool water in my photo to add various colors of blue spray ink.  I then applied modeling paste through a stencil and some random stamping in black with the new Departure stamp.

I embossed the Happiness chipboard piece with Ebony embossing powder.  I embossed the sides of the Natural Frame chipboard piece with Hot Cocoa embossing powder, and then embossed the foliage areas of it with Avocado embossing powder.

My flower clusters include yellow and blue Wanderlust Lilies, a blue lily from the Dark Tropic Lilies set, and yellow blooms from the Spring Florals set.

Below is a closer look at the Avocado embossing powder...isn't it lovely?!

Blue Fern Studios - This Moment

It's time to share my August Blue Fern Studios projects!  Let's start with this one which features a selfie of the three of us and Blue Fern's new Wanderlust collection.

This Moment

This layout focused on the Wanderlust collection's neutral tones.  I started with the B-side of a piece Wanderlust Calling Cards paper and then layered strips of Wanderlust Pacific Coast paper (both sides) horizontally.  After a treatment of clear gesso, I painted the paper a bit with tan and brown spray inks, followed by stamping here and there in black with the new Dispatch stamp.

I embossed the "this Moment" chipboard piece with Mushroom embossing powder and then grunged it up a bit.  Above the chipboard piece, you can see some of the new Ivory Braided Trim.

The Swallow Border chipboard piece is another new item!  I treated it with Mushroom embossing powder and then added some Speckled Mint embossing powder in random areas.  It's layered on top of some of the new Ivory Venise Lace and topped with a Wanderlust Lily.

The Fern Leaves chipboard pieces are new, too! I treated two of them with the new Avocado embossing powder and tucked them into my embellishment clusters.
