November inspiration by Pascale

Hello Sweeties

Today I'm up on Blue Fern Studios blog with three new projects.The first one is a layout featuring both Vintage Christmas collections.


I primed the background with clear gesso. Next, I stamped randomly with the Jingle Bells and the Christmas Collage stamps. When done, I added a design with a stencil and Platinum crackle paste. I let dry naturally.


In the meantime, I primed all the chipboards with white gesso. I embossed the snowflakes with the Icicle embossing powder.


I painted all the leaves with a green watercolor, then I sprinkled them with the Fern and the Clover embossing powders to add some texture.


I cut a few pieces of paper to add under the photo as well as a piece of lace. 


The crackle paste dry, I added some green to the background before gluing all the embellishments with a 3D gel. 


To finish the layout I added some seedlings.

My second project featured also the Vintage Christmas collection. I worked with white and gold colors to remind those of the Christmas tree.


First I primed the background with clear gesso. When dry, I added an embossed design made with the Jingle Bells stamp and the Honey embossing powder. Next, I added another design with a stencil and Platinum crackle paste.


While the crackle paste was drying, I primed the Rose leaves, the Fern leaves, and the Snowflakes with white gesso as well as the flowers. I covered the Swirl Ornaments with Gold crackle paste.


I splattered the background with acrylic paints: one gold, the other white pearl. I used those same paints to color the Snowflakes and the Amber Blooms.


I covered the Rose and the Fern leaves with Platinum Crackle paste and let them dry naturally.


I cut a few papers to add under the photo and I glued all the embellishments with a 3D gel.


To finish the layout I added seedlings and glitter.

Here is my last November project: I made three simple Xmas cards with lace, paper and embossing powder.


The three cards are made on the same model.


I cut a triangle in the Homemade paper from the Homespun collection to make the Xmas tree.


I covered the triangles with laces.


I used some left over from the Quatrefoil panel and from the Quilted Page panel to represent the Christmas Tree balls. I embossed them with the Ginger and the 14 Karat powder. 


The card bases were stamped with Versamark and embossed.
