These are Treasured Memories - Farrel Tailor

Hi Everyone, I'm back today to share with you my interpretation of the Dusty Attic December Mood Board. These colours are just amazing and I decided to use these colours as the base of my layout.

And this is what I came up with...

I started by using 7 Dots Studio Cotton Candy pp - Cloud Watching and white Cardstock as my base. Then mixed some white gesso with Distress Stain Peacock Feathers to create a light blue paint.

Using my fingers I applied the paint onto my paper and used a heat tool to dry. I then applied Nuvo Embellishment Mouse - Pacific Teal using a baby wipe in a swiping motion. I then put a small amount of white gesso onto the baby wipe to help blend the mouse.

I also used the same mousse around the edges of the my photo mount before adhering my photo.

Next I used Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst Spray - Shabby Turbine Teal to create depth around the torn edges of my paper using a paint brush and some water.

I then added some texture by using TCW Light and Fluffy Modeling Paste and Mini Tile Mania stencil.

Now for the chippy!!! I used Dusty Attic Geometric Border, Geometric Corners and cut them into smaller pieces so I could build a layer with them. I then painted them and the String Frames Small with Prima Acrylic Paint Sparks - Raven Black. Once dry I then adhered them onto my layout.

I then used my finger to apply a small amount of Prima Acrylic Sparks Paint - Mermaid Sparkle and Nuvo Embellishment Mousse - Pacific Teal to the geometric pieces.

I also added some stamping using Stampers Anonymous stamps - Ultimate Grunge and Slight Alterations with Ranger Archival Ink - Watering Can.

Then to finish it off I used These Are Treasured Moments chipboard and lightly covered with white gesso using a make up sponge and then blended Nuvo Embellishment Mousse - Pacific Teal around the edges. And adhered a tab from Mini Tabs #7 Black.
