July inspiration by Vera Shelemekh + video tutorial

Hello Blue Fern Studios fans.
Vera Shelemekh is here with a couple of Tattered Walls collection projects and video tutorial for one of them. So, get ready your crafty hands and prepare your Blue Fern Studio papers and media... the show is beginning.
The first layout is full of bright flowers and summer breeze. The photo is matching the palette of the background. By the way this is Tattered Walls - Suite 204 paper with just several stains of green acrylic paint.


The frame has been embossed with Avocado and Lime powder.

This bird was cut out of the round shape ephemera.
 I love to add small accents with stamping and seedlings.

 And the chipboard birds are taken from the Spring Day set


Please, find and enjoy the video tutorial for this layout

 I used one of the spring blooms, it looks really fresh and stylish.

January inspiration by Vera Shelemekh

Hey Blue Fern Studios fans! Vera Shelemekh is here for another wonderful creative term :)
Let me write a couple of words about myself for those who has recently joined the blog.

I'm Russian living and working in Moscow - the capital city. I'm a big fan of scrapbooking, papercrafting and quilting. I can't imagine my crafty space without paper and scissors.
Almost all of my layouts are telling stories about my family which consists of two young men: my 6 year old son and my hubby.

Scrapbooking is not only my hobby. It is my job and my lifestyle. I own a small shop on Etsy and occasionally teach people papercrafting.

Last year I started to make my Wedding album with amazing Blue Fern Studios papers and embelishments but I feel like I need more layouts to achieve the goal. So today I will share some new wedding layouts with Remnants papers and printed chipboards.
The first one is experimental as I've never made layouts with huge photos.
I've taken Remnants - Devonshire for the background and embelished it with Remnants printed chipboards, the fence covered with Antique gold embossing powder and leaves covered with Lime and Aocado embossing powder.



 With some Meadow seedlings, Apricot and Heartland blossoms and Lace the layout looks full of tender feelings.

The other layout is more brutal, One of the photo locations was a brick wall so I tried to imitate the pattern on the background with the help of Essental Textures stamp and the new Ivory Embossing powder.


 
To the background I also added butterflies with the Stamp - Garden Frolic
 

 Chipboard butterflies are covered with Soot glitter and Iridescent Grey and Icicle embossing powders

Heartland - Bicycle for Two and  Red Rose Ball as background and for fussy cutting.



And the Angel is cut from Heartland Love notes. I covered hearts and  vine chipies with the mix of lime and avocado embossing powder. I also added some Mauve seedlings here and there and bits of Lace 3
 And of course you have noticed the Fresh florals.

August inspiration by Vera Shelemekh

Hello Blue Fern Studios fans.
It's Vera Shelemekh here and I'm happy to share with you some fresh and bright summer inspiration.  I've made a botanic layout with Wanderlust paper and mixed two summer collections in a seaside layout. And for the dessert today are Happy accident chocolate boxes with lace and flowers.

The summer here in Moscow is a bit cold this year, but we had a couple of warm weeks to enjoy the Nature, to wonder with a butterfly net and breathe wonderful floral smells.
For this layout I used Wanderlust - Lakeside as background.

The photo is framed in a frame from Ever After Frame Set covered with avocado embossing powder.


 I decorated the layout with many stamped flowers, Damask Flourishes chipboard covered with lime embossing powder, stamped bugs and butterflies and a sweet owl.

 
"Discover" is the header taken from Wanderlust Words set

The other layout is combination of Wanderlust and Seaside cottage collections. The background is Ocean Voyage from Wanderlust. And the composition is the mixture of Seaside Cottage - Splendor and elements cut from the paper with cards.

 I also used the octopus and sea stars from Nautical Set and framed the photo in Wanderlust - Printed Chipboard frame.



The mixed media background includes stamping with Stamp - Essential Textures and waves colored with embossing powders Summer breeze and Stormy seas

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

I cut Garden Life - Merriment into two pieces, folded them and cut up to the size of 10x15 cm
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.
