We would like to thank the talented Bev Code for joining us during June as our Blue Fern Fan of the Month, and sharing her beautiful layouts.  It's always humbling for us to see you take our products and put them to use preserving your family memories, and Bev does just that so well.  So now, we will turn it over to Bev for her last post of the month.

************************

Hi Blue Fern Studios fans. I am using the amazing SPRING PARADE Collection on these pages.

"Love This"


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 SPRING PARADE collection. I used many CHIPBOARDS that I copic coloured. I finished it off adding a 3D FLOWER in the print cluster of flowers and some bead accents. 

This  project shares a photo of all four of my Grand Kids when we were together celebrating. My favourite times are when family spends time together and they actually let me take some family and group photos.




I slit and fussy cut around the blooms images in paper to insert the layers that base the photo.


Here is the finished photo detailing the inserted layers with added accents.

"The Story"


Up next is another page using layers again as the base from the SPRING PARADE collection. I used many CHIPBOARDS that I copic coloured and one piece I added special effects I'll be sharing with you. I finished it off adding a beautiful FLOWER/accent and some bead accents. 

This project shares a family photo from our group gathering .... they graciously sit while I get some photos to save our memories.


For this chipboard piece I'd like to share my steps to finishing it. I copic coloured the base with green and brown copics. I then used a signo white gel pen to doodle the lines in the leaves.


This close up gives a great view of the treated chipboards and the amazing flower with berries.

Hi everyone,
It's my turn today to show you my design team work for the month June.
I have a canvas and 2 layouts to share with you.
So let's start with the canvas:

'Heaven Sent'



I only used a small piece of paper on this canvas behind my photo, it's from the new Garden Life collection.

 I used a stencil, some modeling paste, 4 colors paint spraynand the Blue Fern Studios Forever Stamp for my background.
 I used a piece of the Quatrefoil panel, the Circle Flourish frame and the Word Heaven Sent from the Spiritually Speaking Word Set as my title.
I thougt the title matched the photo very well, she's my little angel sent from Heaven and now we're waiting for our second little angel to say hello! We are so blessed!

 I used the Stormy Skies embossing powder on all the chipboard pieces to let them stand out more.
For the flower clusters i used the  Attic Charm Daisies, Dark Tropic Lilies, a flower from an older collection and a few small ones from my own stash.

June projects by Vera Shelemekh

Hello Blue Fern Studios fans!
Vera Shelemekh is on air and I'm happy to share with you my projects featuring the new collection Garden Life which inspires to create wonderful flourish layouts.

I'll start with a fairy tale layout about my son and his girlfriend. Garden Life - Morning Dew paper as background does not require too many embelishments. It's so beautiful itself.

I added cut elements from Garden Life - Snippets and Garden Life - Flower Bed paper sheets. All these characters and flowers make the fairy tale.


I used  Stamp - Wedding Sentiments for the header.


I can't leave my layouts without wonderful Blue Fern Studios chipboards. In this I used Leafy Bough bits covered with lime embossing powder. And one more small header from the set of Garden Life - Printed Chipboard

The other layout is for my Wedding album. I decided to divide the Garden Life - In Bloom paper and fussy cut the elements from the upper part. I replaced the cut part with some craft paper and adhered many cut flowers on it.


The header is made with Follow Your Heart chipboard covered with Icicle embossing powder and soot glitter.

The Spring frame is covered with Icicle embossing powder and  Glitter - Fool's Gold. For the backgroung I used Leafy florals Stamp.

 I also used the round piece of chipboard from the Garden Life - Printed Chipboard set.

and also many wonderful cut elements from  Garden Life - Snippets and Garden Life - Flower Bed

The cards are decorated with frames from Ever after frame set, elements cut from  Garden Life - Snippets and the remnants of the basement.

The frames are covered with Embossing Powder - Iridescent Grey. I made two layers of powder.

I also added Heartland Blossoms white flowers. They look so tender.
