Juliana's Dream Paper Collection by Blue Fern Studios

Sharing with you today one of my June Blue Fern Studios design team projects featuring Juliana's Dream paper from the Ombre Dreams paper collection, and some chipboard too.  This paper collection has a color for everyone, and for me it’s the orchid, lilac, and yellow colors.

The Quatrefoil Panel chipboard was used as a stencil in the background  to add some texture, layering, to further blend the colors together, and grounding the softness of the colors with a hint of charcoal mist.

I'll be sharing a sweet little card from the same paper collection in a few days, hope to see you soon.

Thank you for stopping by and taking a peek.

buttery yellow, white, charcoal and black....Tag

I've always loved this color combination, and last night I was inspired to create on a whim by a fellow scrapping friend. She was so full of inspiration and joy as she worked her project.  You know the place you go in your head and you're enjoying the creative process and don't want to stop?  I so wanted to visit that place again.  I adore ribbons and beads and loved to incorporate them when I can, and what an easy way to do so on something small.  It's so very relaxing to sew in those little beads, and they add so much elegance.  I have to admit, my hand got a little shaky as I applied that Prima Corrine flower.  Sadly, they don't manufacture these any more and I'm coveting the few I have left. 

 

 

 

Here's some close up of the Blue Fern Studios Layering Stem.  You get several in a package and they're a must have for tucking in clusters.  The stem was first covered with black ink, and then some glass bead gel and micro beads were applied on top. The sprig just glistens.

 



The background on the tag was created using some molding paste, mist, and the Blue Fern Studios Quatrefoil Panel.

 

 

 

Thank you for visiting my blog, and I hope you find some inspiration to go to that place in your head too. 

"Done Is Better Than Perfect" - Creating with a Chipboard Stencil

Hello everyone!  It's so good to be back creating and doing something that I love after a few months of absence.  I have been caring for my mom during her convalescence, and we can now see the light at the end of the tunnel.  During some down time, I created this canvas inspired by two things: the Blue Fern Studios Quatrefoil Panel, and a quote from Pinterest.   Are you one of those that starts something and then find it's not perfect in your eyes so you put off finishing it?  I'm guilty of that, and when I read this quote it resonated with me to do something with it to remind me that there is pleasure and growth in the process and finishing something is just as rewarding.

The delicious background was created using the Quatrefoil panel chipboard as a stencil and lots of application of molding paste, mists, ink and stamping.  The word "Done" was created with the chipboard bits inside of the chipboard and stamped, inked and added some Diamond Dust to tone down the harsh black letters.   Unfortunately, the pictures don't truly capture the rich saturated colors of those glorious mists.

I loved how the chipboard stencil background technique came out, and I will be making more creations with this same technique in the near future.  Hope you stop by when I complete the second piece that I've been working on and I'll share a tutorial with you.  Until then, do something you love and finish it! :)
