Dream Passionately - Lizzy Hill - Mood Board Inspiration

Hullo there! Time to show you what I've created based on our current

 DUSTY ATTIC CHALLENGE:

THERE IS STILL 5 DAYS LEFT TO ENTER

Remember, the mood board is there to INSPIRE you - you don't have to follow it to the letter! And remember to pop on at least one DUSTY ATTIC product [now available online HERE!!!]

So, firstly my journaling. I used the 'enjoy' word - it fitted perfectly for this:

I had a BALL using the DUSTY ATTIC paints [Oceania, Sunshine & Jungle Green] on my background.

I simply mixed them together 'til the colour looked 'right'!

I covered my card stock in Gesso first, then water sprayed the paints as I applied them with a sponge.

I wanted to keep this light and airy. So I only used touches of the other colours. Can you see the 'happy' word inside the string frame circle down the bottom? With the birds over the top? It originally said 'BEE happy & had a bee on it. A hint for you! You can chop up your stickers 'til they suit your needs. The birds are hiding the sticker cut edge!!!

[You can find a set of these Small String Frames HERE]

Another hint? NAIL POLISH....I know,  I keep saying it. Those pink dots are nail polish!!!

I wanted the vines in the corner of the page to 'drape' around Mum....sort of mimicking the trees in the bg of the photo. 

To do this, I cut up part of the VINE FRAMES #1, then 'wiggled' it around on the photo! I ADORE that corner flourish - ORNATE CORNER #13:

Lastly, I've cut one of the little birds off its wire & popped it over the heart sticker, above these LOVELY word chippies that I used for my title:

Of course, a page wouldn't be a page without an arrow or two *winks* !!!

These are from the ARROWS #1 SET. You get a wide variety - they're GREAT value:)

I do hope you get a chance to join in with our challenge this month!

Thanks for looking & as always ~ Happy Scrapping ~ Lizzy ♥♥♥

Three Boys Surfing - Lizzy Hill

Hello there, Dusty Attic fans!

Today I'm using one of the pages I created when doing this post HERE.

For the photo I wanted to use, this was a bit strong. So Gesso came out to play!

Then, I worked out where I wanted said photo to 'sit'. Do you scrap that way? I often slide my photos around the page. Then usually pencil off the area, so I don't waste 'making it pretty' where it won't be seen.

I used LOTS of DUSTY ATTIC PAINTS on my background. The really neat thing about the containers is that you can squirt them out. OR unscrew the whole top.

            

Often I'll squirt out too much paint. But these make it easy-peasy to scrape the paint back into them again. No waste!

 The ARROWS #1 pack have been painted as have the MINI SEAGULLS - all with DA paints. That lovely grey-blue 'drop' is NAIL POLISH! Loooove that stuff. Replaces enamel dots beautifully *winks*!!

 Naturally. The day you got married. You surfed. Didn't you????!!!!!!!!

 I figured since this was a boy page, I could sneak in some of the lovely SPARK PLUGS, alongside the LIGHTHOUSE.

 Of course, the SEAGULLS are there watching the surfers. Thinking they'll have hot chips to share, no doubt!! Once again, painted with DA paints!

 I had been 'saving' these STRING FRAMES. They are my ABSOLUTE FAVE DA product. They worked sooo well, given a coat of SILVER DA paint.....

And I used the PEACE from the WORD PACK #5. Painted & outlined.....you've been very patient! Here's my whole page:

So there you have it! DUSTY ATTIC chippies ROCK. I've hardly needed to use anything else on this page!

They're available ONLINE HERE...... don't forget our MARCH CHALLENGE, either!

As always ~ happy scrapping ~ Lizzy ♥♥♥

Mega Blog - Rachelle Sigurdson

Hello,today I am here to share with you,a LO I did of me with my Best Friend, Tenely of 30 some years.Tenely is a music teacher,so I decided to use DA music Chipboard. I am also going to share with you, my latest home improvement project.

The Dusty Attic used:

music

Winged Rock Guitar

Scroll #2

Heart Attack Border #1

Heart Attack Border #2

Marrakesh Trellis small

Ornate Corner #7

Word Pack #2

mini Butterflies #2

Here are some close ups of detail...

To deepen the color of Veterans Ship-BS,I painted on Tattered Angels Indian corn & rubbed in some pebbles chalk...I inked all the edges of the paper using a mixture of charcoal & grey mist,I used a brush to do this....

I used LuminArt' (Jasper Red)H20 over the crackle on the chipboard. The red was still a bit to bright,so I toned with wintermist gray H20,once the red had dried. I used this on all the chipboard in these LO's....I also inked the edges of the chipboard using a ink pad...I will be copying & pasting this on to my future posts,to save time,as I am only about half way through this project,& I am using the same supply's trough out this project.

 

Here we are getting older,but still BEST FRIENDS

Now I am going to share with you a before & after of a corner wall of our kitchen,plus all the LO's I have completed,so far for this project. I really did think I was done, after I did the Scraproom,but it took about 1 day, for me to take a look around my kitchen & decide there was to much going on,with all the different colors, through out my LO's against the wall. I had already received the Nyhan Collection from Maja Design,& discovered the grays in the Kings Square-BS,were the same grays, that I used through out the kitchen. So I decided to make all new LO's, for the kitchen, & as I am doing this, I am transferring these LO's to either the hallways or the family room,that also have shadow boxes,but the walls are a charcoal gray.

A before Photo of  a corner wall in the kitchen...

A after photo, with LO's using the colors in the kitchen....I have about 160 shadow boxes,of LO's through out our home. I started this about 8 years ago, & goggled the shadow boxes,they are still out there MCS Industries INC shadow boxes. You will notice that I left space on my outside edges,you need to do this so that they fit into the box. 

Kings Square-BS

Veteran Ship-BS

Sitting on the Dock

I am using these 3 sheets, from the Nyhavn Collection,for this project. Because I mainly want the gray, as the background,I will not be doing, as much paper layering. I will get my texture through stencils & the DA chipboard.So this is all new to me. I will also be changing all my photos to black & white. My first step,for this project was to go online shopping. I ordered more Dusty Attic Chipboard, the Maja Design, Nyhavn Collection, (I ordered enough,for this project,plus future projects,as it is a limited edition). I also ordered some stamps,stencils,texture pastes & mists or H20,that would be in my color tones. Now I had to wait for my supplies to arrive, so my next step was to paint the chipboard I had on hand. I used my wall paint,for the red,plus I applied a coat of clear crackle varnish. I used distressed brushed pewter stain,paint & crackle on the rest of the chipboard. The chipboard was now ready for a final coat of H20's,or whatever I wanted to apply over the crackle. I also went through all of my flowers,that were to bright for the Maja Collections & dipped them into all the paint colors, that I used in the kitchen (I watered down the paint). Now I was organized & ready for my paper to arrive.....Here is my first project,a canvas using one of my favorite photo's of my boys......
