Live Each Day featuring Blue Fern Studios

Today is the day that I posted my first Blog entry into the Blue Fern  Studios Blog. I hope you go visit the blog, as one by one the fabulous Design Team is introducing themselves and posting the most incredible gorgeous designs using Blue Fern Studios fabulous chip board. 

Here is mine...

For the Leaf Frame, I painted the frame with a heavy coat of white Gesso, and while the paint was still wet, I lightly sprayed on some Color Shine spray in Georgia Peach and watched it pool on the chip board. The result was a beautiful design replication of some of the patterned paper I used for the layout. 

 Those of you who know me, know that I LOVE creating my own flowers. I used the Tattered Florals die for the flower petals and the McGill sun punch for the middle. They are very similar to my Passion Daisy tutorial. Just use the same size flowers for all 3 layers. 

This is just a closeup of one of the flowers. 

I painted the nested Circles using Silks Glaze paint in Olive Vine. I ordered a generous supply at Swirlydoos. The  Silks paint gave the chipboard a beautiful shimmer. 

Wasting nothing, I used the throwaway piece after punching out one of the nested circles. I thought it framed the smaller piece wonderfully.

I used the Spellbinders Persian Motifs die under the Nested Circles. The metal butterfly is from FabScraps. All of the little flowers you see were left over from Swirlydoos kits. The journaling frame is a Spellbinders labels die.
