Cherish Yesterday - Helena Johansson

Hi there! Helena here today to share some Dusty Attic inspiration with you. For this layout, I have used a photo of one of my sisters and a friend of hers. The photo was taken some years ago, and I thought the title "Cherish Yesterday" suited this page well.

I have used the Bedazzled (DA1482) stencil in the background, with Dusty Attic texture paste and mists in gray and peach/pink. I have also used a corrugated card (DA0830) in the background. 

The Luxury Scroll (DA1353) is an amazing piece of art:

I first painted the chippie with white gesso, then I used gray embossing powder and some Dusty Attic rusting powder together. After heating I sprayed some dark gray mist over it. The result was marble-like, and I love it! I treated the Swirly Vines #3 (DA0751) almost the same way, just used a dark purple mist in the end instead.

The title "Cherish Yesterday" I just misted with all the mists previously used.

Here are some close-ups for you!

Thanks for stopping by today!

xoxo

Gorgeous - Lisa Gregory

Hello Dusty Attic Lovers. Lisa here with some inspiration created from our Mood Board. These happen to be some of my favorite colors. Blue and lavender..oh my...Just a touch of a neutral color helped to set it all off.

For the background I adhered some white card stock onto a piece of 12x12 corrugated cardboard using Mod Podge. When it dried, I primed it with gesso. This is the same as priming a canvas. Your background is ready for any kind of medium. I tore up some pieces of Tim Holtz tissue paper and adhered it to the background over the gesso while it was still wet, then I dry brushed some more gesso over the tissue pieces very lightly as not to cover the design. Using Dusty in Color Oceania and Capri, I watered it down a bit with water, then used it on the background like watercolor. It created a fabulous base for my layout.

To create my frames, I primed a piece of the String Frame with Dusty In Colour Navajo White, then added a coat of Dusty In Colour Clear Crackle Varnish. For the foliage over the String Frame, I used a white crackle paint on it, then gave it a spritz with a color spray. 

Here is the smalled frame from the String set and it was treated the same way as the larger frame. The flowers are from my stash and were sprayed with color to match the mood board. The purple vines are a die cut I sprayed to match the rest of the layout.

Here is a closeup of the Federation Frame. There are 4 other pieces in this set that I have put aside for another project. I love how intricate the design is. It holds up beautifully!!

I really enjoyed working on this layout. Dusty Attic chip board and the moodboard always get my mojo going!! I hope that you will join us this month for the challenge. We would love to see your interpretation.

Delight - Canvas - Valia Katzaki

Hello Dusty Attic Friends! 

Its Valia Katzaki today on Dusty Attic's blog 

to show you a canvas I made using all sorts of DA products. 

I began by covering my canvas with crackle paste and when it was dry I added DA Texture Paste to make a new design over the crackles. When all the pastes were completely dry I painted the edges of my canvas with Dusty in Colour Raisin and Dusty in Colour Sugar Plum. I also glued some hearts from the Heart Attack Border #2. I covered them with gesso and then with clear microbeads. 

My "Delight" title was painted white with a white Crackle Paint and placed over the DA blooms.

Aren't they just beautiful??? 

The small frame from the ornate set was first primed with gesso and then painted with Dusty in Colour Raisin. I then applied Crackle Varnish on top of it and directly sprinkled loads of clear microbeads on top as well as super fine glitter in white. It is very dimesional and so sparkly up close, like a sugar treat! 

The Laurel Sprigs were painted with Pesto and Forrest and then they were covered with Crackle Varnish.
