Blue Fern Garden Wall Hanging and Vintage Ballerina



This is a wall hanging.  I created by joining Blue Fern with Inkido.  What a wonderful combination. 

I wanted to work with the Inkido stamps and create tags, but then I decided i did not want to leave them as tags.  That's when I opted to turn them into something more decorative.  I found the  Blue Fern chippies to be the perfect accent.

I used the Blue Fern Lattice Gate and coated it with Stampendous.  I thought this would be the perfect piece to tie my two tags together and create a garden feel.  

Lattice Gate #074950


You can see I also added some green eyelash trim for some vines in my garden.

 Spring Iris Small - 074912
Every garden needs flowers so I grabbed the Blue Fern small Spring Iris set. I painted them with acrylic paints.






Vintage Ballerina
I wanted soft, feminine, and elegant for my ballerina image.  I grabbed the Blue Fern Frame.  In my opinion, this is such an elegant and delicate piece of chipboard.   

I kept it simple by painting it with a sandy cream acrylic, dabbed with white and inked the edges dark brown.

Deep In Thought - Maja Design


It's Maja Design Day!
This piece is called Deep in Thought. 

This piece uses the summery Antligen Collection by Maja Design.  Summer is such a short and cherished time for many of us who live in places that get snow - like NY where I live.  brrrr.  For now,  I shall celebrate some melting of the snow by pulling out Antligen.


This is a photo I snapped of my niece a few years ago.  It's summery and dreamy feeling like the collection.  My niece is a beautiful young lady so I wanted to surround her in feminine softness.

I used a few different patterned papers from the collection.  Featured here are the following: Antligen - Naturen Doftar (as my delicate background piece) , Pingst (as the accent strips of paper), and Vardagjamning (as the circle).

I added the Prima  resin heart here for my sister.  (Dell 'Arte Resin 891466).You can also see a little of the Prima masking - the dots...love this mask.  It's called Static 6x6 564261 - so very versatile. 


The cluster below has a few different Prima flowers on it, all in the same color family;  Prima Lyric Flowers 564452, Prima Tatiana Coral Flowers 566357, Prima Enchanted Ivory  Flowers 561369.

By this point, are you wondering why I provide the product code?  Well!  Great question.  If you want to order products from an on-line store, often times you just need to type in the product code and BAM - up pops the exact product you need.  No guessing.  Leaves you MORE time for more shopping.  hahahaha

Thus I shall continue to provide product codes whenever I can so that you can shop  efficiently.
 I am "Jen-abler". Here to enable your shopping habit. 
Here you can see that I sort of slapped molding paste on my page to frost the Prima Divine Flowers 565268.. The image below is also a great close up of my masking with some really really cool stuff - Shimmerz Texturz Paints in Tidy Widy.  You can get a better feel for how delicate this page is in real life.
I tucked a few small pieces of an old book here and there.  The book is from 1895 - very old.  The pages are yellowed already with no distressing.  Time did that for me.
This is gift for my sister.  She can gaze upon it when she misses her baby girl who is setting off for University in August.
Thanks for sharing a piece of the day with me.   Maja Design is also getting ready too send out the newest LIMITED Collection, Sofiero. Check it out.
