"Love, Cherish, Adore" by Vicky Alberto

LOVE, CHERISH, ADORE LAYOUT

Vicky blogging today to share a project I did using the very pretty March Dusty Attic sketch. I think one of my favourite chipboard items is the skeleton clock face set (DA0430). I have used them on several projects over the past few years and never tire of their classic look. I also used an entire pack of words (DA0025) - these were so fitting for the photo of my grandparents on their wedding day.

 

 

Sometimes almost bare chipboard really fits the look of your project. For the larger clock I simply gave it a grungy look by randomly adding some charcoal chalk ink. For the smaller clock I used the same ink but saturated it to give it more contrast against the clock that I fussy cut from paper - it was a perfect fit!

 

As for the words, I used amber Silks paint and then once again took the charcoal chalk ink to them to tone down the shimmer. Sometimes simple finishes are all your project demands. I find that ink goes a long way for heritage projects.

 

Here is the gorgeous Dusty Attic sketch by Mistra Hoolahan this month. Don't forget to enter our challenge each month for a chance to win a prize pack. visit the Dusty Attic NING site for more details!

"Beautiful" by Tina Dalton

The new Dusty Attic release is as always just stunning, I chose to use the new Corner flourish #4 and decorated it white and distressed it, I then added the new mini ABC set also painted with and distressed. In the top right hand corner I added a Flutterbie #3.

The small pink roses are also new from Dusty and let me tell you they have every color you could ever imagine, the range is amazing, so make sure you get your local store to get some in for you to add to your stash.

Dont forget to call past the ning and have a look, it is full of inspiration, and so many people are uploading their creative work to display, well worth a look.

"Chance" by Robin Shakoor

  

Hello everyone! 

Dusty Attic has the best new chipboard and I love every piece!  I used a combination of old and new to embellish this page about my little fur baby Chance.  He's six now and I take photos of him each year. My daughter took this beautiful photo of her best bud.

I used the beautiful new Nameplate #6 (DA0872) to frame Chance's name.  I used the Mini ABC set upper (DA0861) to spell his name.  I painted the letters with Dusty in Color - Cashmere (DA0904), then topped them with Diamond Stickles.

Here I used the gorgeous French Garden Border (DA0845) which I sprayed with Robin's Egg Blue Glimmer Mist.  It turned my chipboard a lovely gray with a shimmery finish.  I then used my yellow Pearl Pen to add delicate touches.

Thanks for visiting with us today.

"March ATC's" - Vicki, Jennifer, Tina and Robin

This month was a fun challenge for me to step out of my girly comfort zone and create an industrial themed Dusty Attic ATC. Metal and glass came to mind for this project so I decided to create that look on some leftover chipboard parts (the casings) of the French Garden Border (DA0845) and the Corner Flourish #2 (DA0629), as well as a set of Mini Wings (DA0783). I started by texturizing the flourish piece with texture effects paste, then added several metallic distress stains. I layered 3 little scraps of Prima's Engraver papers from my March Swirlydoos kit and then added the other 2 chipboard pieces and the metal junkyard findings bits.

On the wings, I used gesso, ink and glass bead gel. For the portion of the French Border casing, I painted it with Soot paint (DA0925) and topped it with Clear Crackle Varnish (0900).

Thanks for dropping by the blog to view my project today!

I have used the new ATC Frame and Pen Nib to complete my ATC

The 3D ATC popped into my mind straight away
Dusty in colour paints have been used as well as rusting powder

to get this affect on the piece - finished off with that cute

metal embellishment !

I used a Steampunk theme for my ATC today.  I used metal gears to accentuate the gears in my patterned paper.  I decided to add flowers for a touch of femininity. 

I finshed my design by layering Morrocan Accents.  I painted the bottom piece with Dusty in Colour -  Sunburst Orange (DA0906).  I then added the top piece which was painted with Dusty in Colour - Crushed Olice (DA0917) and topped with Clear Crackle Varnish.  Once dry, I added Cinnamon Stickles to the outside of the base.

I hope you give this fun theme a try!

Tina

WOW - Industrial was a theme that really pushed my limits!
I love all of the Dusty Attic Chippies though that can be used for this.

I used the

"Canvas" by Natasha

Hi everyone!  Today I have a canvas that I would like to share with you.  I decided on this quote because I thought it would be a good reminder for myself and for others.  Everyone has a story, and everyone has gone through something that has changed them.  So it's a good reminder that we shouldn't judge people.  :o)

All of these flowers were handmade (with the exception of the teeny flowers and the metal ones).  The large flowers were made from watercolor paper that I inked with Distress Stains in three different colors.  I then followed a tutorial by Mistra that can be found HERE.  The smaller flowers are made from Bitty Blossoms dies.

For my quote, I used the Dusty Attic Typewriter ABC Set and Dymo labels.

I accented my flower clusters with Leafy Scrolls...

... and Swirly Vines.

The background of my canvas is made up of many layers.  The first layer is printed tissue.  Above that there are layers of gesso, muslin, Distress Stains, ink, paint, textured medium, and embossing powder.  I love to get messy with a canvas!

Hope you like my canvas!  Have a beautiful day!

Hi there! Today I wanted to share with you how amazing Dusty Attic chipboard can look and be within mixed media projects. I was extremely fortunate this week to be able take some Finnabair classes and learn some creative new techniques. Finnabair's classes certainly put me out of my comfort zone but a zone I honestly loved and will continue to explore and create within. Firstly I'm going to share my Journal covers with you.......

"Rennaissance Steampunk"

WOW.... how amazing and stunning does this Dusty Attic Flourish #6 look!

Dusty Attic Products:

Flourish #6   DA0313
Mini Keyhole pack
Vintage Nameplate set  DA0463
Crooked fence DA0620

I also participated in the Finnabair "Tea for two" layout class and combined my own background paper style with Finnabair's mixed media metal signature. It was aptly called 'tea for 2" because we used tea bags to colour and splatter the chipboard and background.
