"Art Deco" ATCs by Paloma, Olga, Jenny & Natasha

Hello everybody,

Today I'm going to show my Art Deco ATC

Art Deco (/ˌɑrt ˈdɛkoʊ/), or Deco, is an influential visual arts design style which first appeared in France during the 1920s, flourished internationally during the 30s and 40s, then waned in the post-World War II era.^[1] It is an eclectic style that combines traditional craft motifs withMachine Age imagery and materials. The style is often characterized by rich colors, bold geometric shapes, and lavish ornamentation.

Some samples of art deco moviment:

  And here is my take on this theme:

 I used Dusty Attic chipboard DA0872, you can buy HERE

I also used Water based Clear Gloss Varnish, you can buy HERE

Hope you like it!

'The Pond' Layout by DT Mistra Hoolahan

Hi everyone!  Today I have another layout featuring a little of Central Park... such beauty in the midst of all that hustle and bustle!!

[click image for a larger view]

I have used this fabulous Leafy Flourish #2 from Dusty Attic's April Release, such a beautiful shape for this page! 

It was first painted with Dusty in Colour "Crushed Olive" and then inked with Mix'd Media Inx Chox in Sparrow and Sage to add some toning.

I've also popped in some sweet Dusty Roses with my handmade flowers.

The cute mini ABC set has fast become a 'must have' in my stash... they are the perfect size to accentuate a title.   These were simply inked with Sparrow Mix'd Media Inx Chox for a quick finish!

Thanks for stopping by today... until next time, take care of you!

'Love' Tag by DT Louise Collins

Hi All!

Today I would like to show you a really quick and easy way to get some real dimension from your chipboard pieces, especially for those of you who like to have your pieces 'pop' off the page!

Now, did you know that chipboard is made up of loads and loads of really thin layers? Yep, which is how this technique is made possible.  Take any DA chipboard piece that you would like to add some shape to, and simply start pulling apart some of these layers by carefully pushing a craft knife in-between them.

 

I have used the Flower Layers #4 to create my bloom. I have only used two of the chipboard flower shapes here, one slightly smaller than another... 

 

After separating each of the petals into three layers, I also cut a piece of one of the Mini Wicker Fences to use as stamen. Just push these up through the centre holes from underneath.

 

When it was all constructed, I painted it using DA Acrylic Paints and added to a tag I made...

 

I hope you'll try out this technique, and pop on over to the ning site here to show us all what you've created :-)

'Welcome Spring' Layout by DT Helena Johansson

Spring has finally come! I took this photo of my dd recently and just had to scrap it - she looks so happy!

I have used a Picket Fence Border (DA0175) that I painted with Dusty in Color Alabaster (DA0902) and then distressed a bit. Tucked into my flower clusters I have used Grass Clusters #2 (DA0866). I have painted a couple with Dusty in Color Alabaster, and kept a couple raw. They are so cute!!

Among the flowers I have used Dusty in Blooms, Celestial White (DA0800).

I have layered some of the Grass chippies, one larger painted in white and one smaller, used raw. Love these chippies! They come in a Mini version too (DA0867), cool huh?!

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you are having a wonderful spring!

"Art Deco" ATC by Belinda Spencer

Hi everyone.

 

Here is  my take on the current ATC challenge theme of "Art Deco".

I have used the leftover 'negative' chipboard from the Mini Arch Windows DA0804. I painted it with a couple of coats of Dusty In Colour Capri DA0915 and once dry, applied Viva Décor Croco Crackling Colour in White over the top.

 

I found the Art Deco image on the Art Deco Daily Facebook Page and the gorgeous turquoise feathers at Spotlight. :-)

 

Cheers

Belinda

 

 

 

 

Art Deco Fashion ATC by Mistra Hoolahan

 Hi everyone!  This month our ATC Theme at Dusty Attic is "Art Deco".  I love Art Deco style, those smooth stylised lines and bold colours, all those fabulous things that encompass all that is the 20's/30's.  I didn't have much in my stash that was perfectly art deco, these chippy pieces are a little more art noveau, but the image is perfect Art Deco, how fabulous is it!!

I have inked the base frame with black ink and painted the name plate with Mountain Meadow Paint then edged and highlighted with Liquid Gold Leaf and Black ink, then glossed it all up with Dusty's Clear Gloss Varnish.

'Time Flies' ATC by Helena Johansson

 

First I had no clue what to do with this months ATC-theme "Art Deco", but after seeing some of the other DT-Girls ATC's I came up with this:

I have used papers from Graphic45 and a Gothic Window (DA0795) that I painted with three Dusty in Color shades - Soot (DA0925), Storm Cloud (DA0924) and Vintage Gold (DA0926). I have used a sponge to get the uneven pattern. Finally I used Clear Gloss Varnish (DA0901) on the whole window.

To decorate I have used a small Dusty in Bloom Wild Moss (DA0804) and cut-out flowers from a Graphic45 paper.

 

'So Happy To Have You' ATC by Louise Collins

 

Here is my ATC for May. My lord, the Art Deco theme was the hardest so far!!! 'When I think of Art Deco, I am immediately inspired by contrasting colours and bold angular lines. The Nameplate #6 piece was just the shape I had in mind, and once I cut it up and added some gold paint, it was a perfect frame for the sentiment on my ATC''
