Blue Fern Studios -Spring Inspiration from Lanette with a Video too!

Hello All!

Here in Michigan we are desperately waiting for Spring to arrive. It's been a winter and I am ready for a spring green yard. So I thought  the Spring Parade Collection was perfect for me to create with this month. 

For my first layout I focused on the perfect pastels and the sweet bunnies in this collection...

Blue Fern Studios Products Used: Spring Parade Pattern Paper- Sunday Best & Susie's Garden. BFS Glitter- White Gold & Rose Gold. BFS Seedlings- Glass & Tickled. BFS Embossing Powder- Ivory & Pearl. BFS Chipboard- Ginger Poppies & Winter Titles (JOY). BFS Flowers- Courtship Roses & Late Winter Lilies. BFS Stamp- Tattered Newsprint.

You can see how I created this layout start to finish over on the Blue Fern YouTube Channel: 

Here are just a few details of my layout...

I love the way the Chipboard looks with Ivory & Pearl Embossing Powder.

A super sweet fussy cut bunny...

Lots of Seedling & Glitter to really make these lovely blooms shine.

For my second layout, I continued the Spring fun but this time I played with the Attic Charm Collection...

Blue Fern Studios Products Used: Attic Charm Pattern Paper- Generation & Curio . BFS Embossing Powder- Ivory & Pixie Dust. BFS Glitter- Pea Soup & Rose Gold. BFS Seedlings- Mauve & Meadow. BFS Chipboard- Spring Fever & Spring Bunny Frame. BFS Stamps- Tattered Newsprint, Departure & Butterflies. Misc Blue Fern Flowers.

Just a few details before you hop along...

 A peek at this lovely lace and this sweet little chipboard bunny.

A the bit of frame that I cut away from the bunny worked perfectly with the title.

Here is a good look at all the little extras that make this layout sparkle.

It's my Turn over at Visible Image!

Hello All!

Today it is my turn to share & hopefully inspire you over on the Visible Image Blog and I just had to create something with this Dragonfly. So I decided that I would create a layered tag with him as the star of the show!

 Products Used:  Visible Image Stamp Sets- Imagine Dream Inspire,  De-Stressed, Ink Splats & Live in the Moment. Lindys Stamp Gang Sprays- Rusty Lantern Lime, Bells of Ireland Green, Green with Envy Green & Luminous Yellow. Art Anthology Sorbet- Cayman & Tink. Ranger- Electric Lime & Caribbean Coast Ink Pads. Versa Mark Black Ink. White Uniball pen. Ranger Glossy Accents. Misc Ribbon. Prima- Watercolor Paper. Wafer-Thin Umbrella Dies.

Now lets take a close look at my tag....

I just love the Dragonfly in the " Live in the Moment Stamp Set" he is absolutely beautiful! So I had to fussy cut him to really make him POP. I also stamped directly on the tag too.

Here you get  better look at the titles that from the "Dream Inspire Imagine Stamp Set" While I love the definitions in this set, I really only wanted the bold titles for this tag. So with just a bit of selective inking I had my bold words.

If you look closely, you will see there really is a lot going on in the background of my tag. I used both the De-Stressed & Ink Splats Background Stamp Sets.
