Spring Garden layouts by Patty Rogers

Hello everyone!  Today concludes our projects from the Blue Fern Fan of the Month, Patty Rogers.  It has been such a joy to have her with us this month, as we know what a big fan she is of everything Blue Fern.
Today, Patty has created 2 layouts to share with you.  I will let her tell you all about them!

* * * * *

Hello Blue Fern Studios fans! It's Patty with my last post as Fan of the Month. What an honor this has been! I thoroughly enjoyed working with the Spring Parade collection.


Hi Blue Fern fans! It's Patty with another layout from the Spring Parade collection.
 I did quite a bit of fussy cutting for this piece, as well as 3-D work and applying texture.



One technique found in my work is layering. I think it shows off all of the beautiful papers,
 so dimension is a must for me.



You can see where I used the Forever stamp with Pink Dust embossing powder
on each of the layers in random places for texture and dimension.



I applied a few brushstrokes of gesso on the flowers to lighten them a little and distressed the layered papers.



Here, you can see the layering, distressing, textured background, splatters of color and embossed chipboard pieces.




For this layout, I used May Vignettes as my background paper. The little eggs, bunny, and
flowers are sweet without dominating the background. Again, I used the Spring Bunny Frame,
Good Vibes and Garden Lattice Bits for the chipboard.



I embossed the frame with Snow and Sea Mist embossing powders with just a sprinkle of Spring Posy glitter.



Fussy cutting the little bird in a basket adds dimension to the layout when popped up.



The banners were distressed and I embossed the title using Lavender Eggs.



The flowers used on this layout were Spring Peony and Berries, Spring Florals, 
Dark Tropic Lilies and Courtship Roses. 

 Wishing everyone a lot of creative enjoyment with Blue Fern Studios products! --- Patty

Easter Joy by Patty Rogers

As we approach Easter, our Blue Fern Fan of the month, Patty Rogers, has an adorable Easter layout to share, using paper and chipboard from the Spring Parade Collection.  I'll let Patty fill you in on all the details:


Hi everyone! It's Patty Rogers again to share a layout I created with the beautiful Spring Parade collection. I wanted to use this photo of my two children as they were enjoying Easter Sunday. Don't you love the Spring Bunny chipboard frame?  The charming little bunny and its size are perfect for the trend in scrapbooking to use a small photo. 



For this piece, I used a variety of papers from Spring Parade (Market Place, April Medley, Sunrise, Susie's Garden and Spring Parade). The stripes in Sunrise paper begged for a horizontal or vertical design.  I used an inking sponge to darken the paper a little behind the area of interest to draw attention to that area and to make it pop. 


Some of the background work that I did can be seen here. First, I used Essential Textures stamp to play up the brick wall seen in the photo.  For the embossing, I used Lavender Eggs, Snow, and Sea Mist and added sprinkles of the brand new Spring Posy glitter! Also, I added a few splatters of gesso. 


This beautiful little girl is one of the many reasons I love Blue Fern Studios products! I fussy cut and popped her up for dimension. Also used here is Garden Lattice Bits chipboard in the background. I seem to be hopelessly addicted to dimension, texture and beautiful paper! 

 Flowers used here are the Spring Florals and Spring Peony and Berries. I painted a bit of gesso on the flowers to give them a lighter feel. 


Thanks for stopping by. See you next time!
