Butterflies and Vines!!

Welcome back to the Blue Fern Studios Blog. Hi, it's me, Lisa Gregory...Today is my turn to feature some new inspiration for you all and my blog post features 3 of the beautiful Blue Fern chip board designs. 

The first layout  features the  Brigitte Butterfly Set. The set has 3 butterflies. One large and 2 smaller ones.  I chose to use all 3 butterflies on 1 layout. But 1 butterfly would look equally as sweet on a card or tag. 



Here is a closeup of one of the butterflies. The technique I used on the butterfly was pretty easy. I painted the chip board with a white acrylic paint and let it dry. Then I spread some Puffy Paint over the painted surface. While the paint was still wet, I sprayed some Glimmer Mist over the area lightly. After waiting about 30 minutes, I heat set the piece  until the paint started to puff up. Once it was dry, I sprayed it with some more Glimmer Mist. I added pearls to create the body.


 I used the Blooming Beauty chip board piece for my title. I painted it using Lumiere paint using 2 coats.




For my next layout, I used the gorgeous Organic Vine Corner. 


I painted the piece with a beige colored  acrylic paint and let it dry. I then took an ink pad in green and brushed over the leafy parts of the flourish. Then I took some tiny pearls and randomly placed them on the chip board.

To make the piece stand out even more, I went over it with some Stickles.


Thank you for stopping by to see my work with Blue Fern Studios wonderful product!! Keep watching as this brand new company keeps adding to their inventory. You are going to fall in love with Blue Fern Studios chip board!!
