Yellow Butterfly by Mandy

Happy Hello Berry71Bleu Friends!

Today It's my turn to share my take on this month's fun and beautiful "Yellow" challenge!  I made this mixed media canvas for a friend.  She recently celebrated her birthday and I figured a "Summer" theme canvas would be a perfect gift!

I added the beautiful chipboard supplied to the design team by Blue Fern Studios! Thank you!

I cut the the  intricate scroll-work chipboard piece and off set it below the photo.

I surrounded the photo with the beautiful chipboard butterflies!

I added various soft pastel colors to accent the soft yellow hues!

I used Tattered Angels mists and various brands of water colors.

Check out the gorgeous yellow mood board for this month's challenge!

Try to add various colors of yellow - a very universal and provocative color! And in the shades of honey can make a very delicate projects! You can create cards, layouts, mixed media projects, tags, altered projects and more!

We'd love to see what you will come up with for this month's challenge!!!

Check out the gorgeous prizes!

Fun In The Sun Layout By Kay

Hello fellow Berry71Bleu fans!  Kay here with my take on this month's challenge.  It's all about the color yellow this month.  Whenever yellow is thrown as a challenge to me--the first thing I always tend to think about is summer!  Bright sun, beaches, sand, ocean, waves, hot weather etc...so that's exactly the approach I took for this month's bright challenge!  I went with a summer/beach themed page featuring my sun having a little fun in the sun.

Here's this month's mood board hand picked by this month's challenge host Tanya.

All papers used are by Authentique.  The design of my page is based on a fabulous sketch by The Nifty Pixel.

The circle chipboard frames are by this month's sponsor Blue Fern Studios.  To give the chipboard that shimmer I first painted them with gesso, next I applied red/orange acrylic paint & finally I heat embossed them with Star Dust clear embossing powder.  The embossing powder is what gives the chipboard that fabulous shimmer effect.

Underneath each of my flower clusters I tucked a sea shell & a bit of dried moss.  I like the effect the moss gave the overall layout--it gave the layout more of a 'beach' feeling.  At least it did for me!  :-)

Looking forward to seeing all your fabulous creations!  Now onto this months prizes...

August Challenge layout by Elena Lishchenko

Hey everyone! Here am I, Elena  with my new layout. Today I would like to share my inspiration with you.

Summertime athmosphere of delicacy gave me the idea of making something elegant. I took bytterflies for the symbol of this summer mood. I used wonderful chipboard from the Blue Fern Studios Gabrielle Butterfly Set  that I used to create unusual and delightful backround of my layout. I painted it with the yellow acrilic paint.

Owing to Tanya's mood board I choosed these amazing colours for my work.

I hope you can find the time to join our challenge this month! 

We have some amazing prizes up for grabs!

Hello Everyone

Welcome to a new week and welcome to Monday here at Berry71Bleu! ;-)

It's Denise here today to share some tags with you, that I created for the mood board challenge this month. Two rather different tags! ;-)

Here's the first one.  A vintage tag.

Here's a close -up.

I used the super gorgeous chippies from Blue Fern Studios, along with the really super and pretty collection from FabScraps, Country Kitchen.

My second tag is really different and is a bright and sunny tag.

Again, I used the gorgeous chippies from Blue Fern Studios and on this tag I used Lemonade Stand from BoBunny.  It's a vibrant and sunny collection.

There's still time to play along with the mood board.

Special Guest Designer - Valerie Ouellet - Cute Layout

Hello Everyone

We have another really awesome and Special Guest Designer this month, please give a very big, warm welcome to Valerie Ouellet

Here's what Valerie had to say.

Hi,

I'm Valerie Ouellet from Québec (Canada) and I've been scrapbooking for 6 years now. I'm a stay-at-home mom happy to be taking care of 3 little monsters which are often the main subject of my pages. While I'm creating, my style is quite lively and colorful and I tend to use watercolor often and medium.

I'm a designer for 2Crafty Chipboard for 2015-2016, Guest DT for Faber Castell Design memory craft for july to october 2015 and guest Dt for Cuts2luv for august 2015, a company of scrapbook flat flair sold on etsy.

I am so passionate that I own an online store that I administrate at home.

You can follow me on my blog and on pinterest: http://leblogdevall04.blogspot.ca/, https://www.pinterest.com/vall042/my-scrap/  

Valerie created this warm, funny, gorgeous and stunning page!

I used chipboard from 2crafty and Cuts2luv flair.

Here's a close-up of this fabulous, boy page.

Thanks so much Valerie for this awesome inspiration! ;-)

To see more of Valerie's amazing inspiration, please pop over here to her blog! ;-)

So hopefully you can play along with our mood board too this month.
