Adore Wedding page at The Rubber Buggy

hi.. so I am still creating wedding pages... doing black and white and colour photos. I am using products from The Rubber Buggy. The Blue Fern Studio Collections have been amazing and have the perfect touch of softness and elegance for wedding pages.

Supply List;
The Rubber Buggy Products
Paper: Blue Fern Studio Tranquility Stillness
Stencils: TCW 455s, 605s, 507s
Ink: Tim Hotlz mini pads
Accent: ART C doily
Other: flowers, fern stickers, chipboard

In the close ups I'll share some of my techniques. I use both Color Box and Tim Holtz inks... shading to the outer edges of where the photo will be.

Now using some shades of green I add more defined straight lines through out the yellow.

Now I used green paint splatter applied by flicking the paint brush.

Now it's stencil time. I am using a few of them and mix up the yellow and green to them.

Here is my finished stenciling all placed to the outer edges of the photo spot.

At this point I play all the proposed accents on the page in estimated placement. I take a photo so when I take them all off to start gluing from the back going forward I have a photo to view. 

In these close ups you can see the page come together. In the one above you can see I chose to move everything up higher from my sample photo to leave the 3 hearts showing in full size.

I loved the natural chipboard colouring with the paper and inking. 

The stenciling and colouring is perfect for this page. I love the hearts and the word Love... just perfect.

I decided on single flowers but originally had tried larger clusters. They became too strong and went back to one each.  The fern leaves are stickers and the other accent is the doily.

At this point less is better so I chose to stop at this point.

Thanks for stopping by.. see you again soon.

Live Love Laugh using Blue Fern Studio Tranquility from The Rubber Buggy

Hi Bev here today. I have been creating using both my black and white and colour wedding photos.
The Rubber Buggy products have been perfect for them.... slightly vintage while elegant and soft. This collection is Tranquility from Blue Fern Studios. The 123 Challenge this month also worked well with this layout.  

Supply List:
The Rubber Buggy Products
Paper: Blue Fern Studio Tranquility Peaceful
Stencils: TCW 467s Live Love Laugh, 554s Butterfly Collage
Ink: Tim Holtz ranger
Die Cut: Memory Box Square Links Die
Accents: Stickles
Other: punch mini 8, sticker alpha, flowers, beads, cardstock, recollection die cut

Colour: Chocolate

Word: Explore

Technique: Squares

Here are some of the details about my page. I started by laying out the papers. cutting the border circle. matting the photo, die cutting the squares and leaves and stenciling the live love laugh.  I then inked the whole outer edge.

In this section you can see the added stenciled corner and some misc. gold accents.

This section showcases a fun cluster of burlap flower, misc flowers with bead centre and the die cut flourish accent and the small alpha words including the challenge word "explore".

Stenciling adds such a great look to any projects... adds depth and colour.

I added stickles to pop the flowers and add that touch of bling. Also added some bead accents.

The finished central section showcasing my wedding photo is perfect. .. slightly rustic vintage with a touch of elegance and charm.

 

 

Thanks for visiting.. .. hope to see you again soon.
