March Layout Inspiration - Joanne Bain

Hi Everyone!!

Joanne here with you today to share 2 layouts, one with a tutorial. Both are created with the totally gorgeous In The Mood collection.

For my first layout I chose to pull the darker colour in the collection and give my main cluster a bit of a colour pop with vibrant red.

'Love'


To frame my photo I have used the outside hearts from the In The Mood chipboard sheet. To create the pens, I used the pen stamp from the Desk Set stamp set, this was then embossed with Ebony embossing powder.


The small lace flowers were cut from Lace 3B. All chipboard was also embossed with Ebony embossing powder.


The background was created by using a stencil with black gesso and the while nearly dry a sprinkling of Ruby Slippers glitter was applied.


To build up added interest to the cluster I added some of the cream flowers from the Chesterville florals set. I also added some natural cheesecloth to add extra texture and softness to the page.

For my next page I chose to use the softer tones in the collection. I simply do adore this collection it is just so pretty. For this layout I also thought I would do a little step by step tutorial so you may be able to create this one yourself.

'Perfect Moment'


The small Roman clock face was cut in half layered and embossed with the gorgeous Pixie Dust embossing powder. The top half of the clock also had dark chocolate and Ivory embossing powders added.


The small frame behind the photo was coloured with Green Ivory embossing powder. In the background of the page there is a sprinkling of Mauve and Gold Nugget seedlings.


For added interest in the cluster I added some fussy cut flowers cut from the Attracted patterned paper. 


The main feature flower is one of the lighter pink flowers from the Moody Florals set. I removed the centre of the flower and added my own.


The title and the background flourish were both coloured with Dark Chocolate embossing powder.

Romantic and colorful by Tartine Peluche

Hello everybody!
I'm back to share with you some new inspirations.
This month, two layouts of  '' In The Mood '' and one of  ''Chesterville'' ...

========================
My first one is :

*Lifetime Dream*
( In The Mood, Pensive )







For those who know me, know that I like to create or modified flowers.
I have almost the same tools as the florist...
For this layout I had fun with the Moody Florals.
The first on the top is simply heated with heat gun, as is, then I added a bling as a center.
The others are only one layer of petal folded on itself.



The butterflies are embossed with Pixie Dust. The cercle ring embossed with Ivory, then I added a bit of pink pearl ink to contrast. The first layer of  chipboard flowers is embossed with a mixt of Baby Pik and Pixie Dust, and the other one embossed in snow and over heated with heat gun and ink too.


On my heart Gold Nugget seedlings.
n the center of Attic Charm Daisies flower, mix of two shades of pink: Tickled, Pink Glass and Gold Nugget too. Under the flower a piece of  Lace 12, ripped.

'' Dreamy '' is the title of one paper of the In the Mood Collection, I cut the word
on the paper and I scratched it.
'' Simply because ... '' comes from the printed chipboard sheet. I used another piece at the top of my page,  ''In The Mood ''

Butterflies in Pink Dust embossing powder and my Title ...
I did a test, not very conclusive, still pretty but not perfect ... I mixed two embossing powders, added to my chipboard with versamark and I heat it ...

( In The Mood, Peaceful )





This paper it's really my favorite of the collection In The Mood,
I wanted to work it very romantic and especially in soft color.
So I choose to bring out the peach of the paper.
 For that, I used some die cut embossed with the embossing powder Copper. This color perfectly match with peach shades of the paper.
I could have used the flowers from the Chesterville Blooms collection, they were perfect but did not match the sweet ambiance I wanted to give. So I used the Late Winter Lilies in white.
I put Glass seedlings in my flowers, much like a flowing river
they follow a path to the bottom of my layout.



The Life round chipboard come from Garden Life Printed Chipboard, under this one another round chipboard Remnants Chipboard Printed.


With this last one picture, we can see all the shine of the embossing powder Copper and some pieces of Lace 12, that I ripped and placed under my flowers.

Remnants Video Tutorial and In the Mood Layout

Hello everyone and happy Valentine's Day!  Today I am up on the Blue Fern Studios blog to share a couple of layouts with you for February.

"Forever"

My first layout features the Remnants Collection.  I am very inspired by the whole collection so I decided to make another video tutorial for this layout.  You can see the video tutorial below.



I chose the Callaway paper for my background.  The Remnants Printed Chipboard pieces with a thin coat of gesso under my picture added just the right amount of dimension.  The circular chipboard pieces around the picture are from the Floral Circles Chipboard and the thin circle frame right behind the picture is from the Tattered Butterfly Chipboard.  I also used the word "Forever" from the Families are Forever Chipboard for the title.


Each piece of chipboard on my layout was first painted with two layers of gesso.  Then I double embossed the chipboard pieces with Pearl Embossing Powder.  Before the embossing powder dried, I sprinkled some White Gold Glitter on the wet embossing powder to add some shimmer.


All of my flowers in my layout have some gesso on the tips, and they were lightly sprinkled with Red Wine Glitter while it was still wet.  


To the right of the picture, I used a rose from the Happy Roses set, and the rose to the left of the picture is from the Spring Florals set.  The other three flowers on my layout with the pearls in the center are from the Remnants Florals set.


My picture is mounted on a torn piece of the Mini Remnants Paper.  To add the final touches,  I used a very small amount of Purple Haze Seedlings in various areas around my picture and flowers.

I hope my video tutorial will provide you with some inspiration for your next layout!  Don't forget that I would love to answer any questions you may have. :-)

"Remember"

My second layout for this lovely February features the newest In the Mood Collection.  I chose to use the Pensive Paper for my background and mounted my photo on a torn piece of the Mellow Paper.


I applied modeling paste and stencil then added pink and brown mists to the background.  When it was dry, I used the Crackle Textures Stamp with archival ink.


Next I embossed the Treasured Floral Frame with Pixie Dust and Baby Pink Embossing Powder.  I glued it to the paper, then I used matte gel to attach the Lace 12.


While the matte gel was still wet, I sprinkled some Tickled and Sweet Pea Seedlings.  Next I splattered some diluted black gesso then glued the torn Mellow Paper.


I decided to use small pieces of the Floral Lattice Bits Chipboard embossed with Peacock Embossing Powder and added some Army Dust Glitter.   I glued the pieces under the flowers from the Moody Florals Set.  Finally, I attached the Lace 10 around the side of the picture and randomly added some Emerald Seedlings.


I hope I gave you some inspiration today as you create new layouts from this lovely collection!  Take care!
