July Inspiration by Kris Berc

Hi, Blue Fern Studios fans! It's Kris here to share my July projects with you.  I have three layouts to show you today that I hope will get you into a creative mood!

Wish

For this layout, I chose a beautiful paper called Concert Hall from the Courtship Lane collection.  I love how the paper matches the backdrop in this photo of my daughter.  This photo was taken at one of her recent dance competitions...it's a small group jazz number to "Bippity Boppity Boo"!

I treated the paper with drops of blue and pink spray ink, topped that with some white gesso through a stencil, and then used a stamp from the Forever stamp set with black ink.


I embossed the "Wish" title piece with three colors of Imagine Ink embossing powder (In the Navy, Bonny Blue, and Icicle).


I embossed the Manchester Frame in Imagine Ink Bonny Blue powder, and then layered on the Folkart Frame, which I embossed with Imagine Ink In the Navy powder.  I'm so pleased with the effect!  Don't be afraid to layer your chipboard pieces :)

Daddy's Little Girl


I chose a beautiful paper from the Serendipity collection called Imagination for my second layout.  I treated it with some white gesso, some drops of pink, peach, and orange spray ink, and some stamping in black with the Tattered Newsprint stamp.


Oh how I adore this Daddy's little Girl chipboard piece!  It comes as one piece, but I cut it into two pieces in order to suit my design.  It's embossed with Imagine Ink embossing powder in Antique Gold.  I used the same treatment on the Royal Monarch to the right of the photo.


I embossed two of the Berry Stems chipboard pieces with Sand & Sea Imagine Ink embossing powder and tucked those into the top and bottom of my flower cluster.  There are several berry stem pieces in the set!

Joy


I went back to the gorgeous Courtship Lane paper collection for my third layout.  The paper is called Royal Street.  I kept the mixed media quite simple on this one.  As you can surely see, Blue Fern Studios papers and embellishments are gorgeous as they are and do not need extensive altering to look fabulous in your scrapbooks!  I simply added some drops of purple and teal mists, then stamped here and there with a stamp from the Forever stamp set.


I covered a Graduated Circles chipboard piece with Iridescent Grey Imagine Ink embossing powder.  What an awesome powder it is!  A favorite for sure.


The Joy chipboard piece from the Good Vibes set sums up the emotion of the photo of my daughter and her grandfather perfectly.  It was a joyful visit for sure :)  I embossed the chipboard with Imagine Ink embossing powder in the color Plum.  It's a lovely, rich color and it looks terrific with the plum colored berries!
