A Card & A Layout with Blue Fern Studios

Today I wanted to share a card and a layout I created for you. They are similar yet different. I started out with the same exact background for each piece—white cardstock with blue modeling paste and drips. I thought it would be fun to see what happens when I start with the same base but then turn them each into something unique. Let's look at my creations.

The Card
For my card today I created a feminine card using the chipboard shoe from the Blue Fern Studios Icon Set 2. Send this to a friend and invite her to go shopping! I covered the chipboard shoe in gesso and then added brown micro beads and Glossy Accents. Underneath the shoe is a heart from the Blue Fern Studios Heart Panel Chunky. I painted it with gesso and then inked it with chalk ink.

Embellishments: Finnabair checkered stencil with Liquitex light modeling paste and Glimmer Mist moonlight; Angora watercolors; May Arts twine; misc. measuring tape; Prima Chantelle Medallion, leaves, and butterflies; VersaMagic turquoise gem ink; burlap; sewing machine

The Layout
Next I created this 8 1/2 x 11 layout using Blue Fern Studios Ironwork Accents and the Optimist Word Set. I used the word "happy" from the set and used it for the title. Both chipboard pieces are painted in black gesso. I then added Glossy Accents to the title only. I wanted to give it a little shine.
