The Scrapbook Store - Blue Fern Frolic LO No. 2

Hi Everyone,

Today I am sharing my 2nd layout created for The Scrapbook Store using the delicious Blue Fern Studios "Frolic" Collection.

A Perfect Day Layout

For this layout I was inspired by the beautiful teal green and blue patterned papers from this collection.

The gorgeous chipboard Circle Flourish is also from Blue Fern Studios and was altered by coating with Dina Wakely Gesso first, then colouring the flowers with Viva Inka Gold in Jade Green and Aquamarine, which I applied with my fingertip, blending the colours together in random areas to add more depth. The flower centres were accented by applying glue then sprinkling with Stampendous Multi Crystal Glitter Mix. Pretty Petaloo flowers were clustered around the chipboard to create a bit of texture and draw the eye to my photo.

I fussy cut the little birds from the "Friendship" pp and applied with foam tape to create dimension.

The background "Dans Le Jardin" pp was altered by stenciling the Tim Holtz Flourish Stencil with Prima Modeling Paste. Once dry I stamped over the top with the Blue Fern Garden Frolic Stamp in archival ink then flicked wtih some Cobalt and Soft Pastel Teal Prima Color Bloom Sprays .

I coloured random spots on the lace trim with Prima Soft Teal Color Bloom Spray. The packaging from the Blue Fern Chipboard was so pretty and matching in perfectly with these pp's, so I punched the edges with a border punch and added it to my layers.
