Happy - Belinda Spencer - Mood Board Inspiration

 Hello Dusty Attic fans!

It's Belinda here today to share my last post for 2021! Today I have a layout to share with you inspired by the stunning December Mood Board.

Here's a peek at the mood board:

'Happy'

I started my layout by adding some stencilling to the background patterned paper using the Confetti # 2 Stencil with white gesso. I used a latex make-up wedge to apply the gesso through the stencil. Once the gesso was dry I added a couple of colour sprays over the top.

While I waited for the background to dry, I gave all of my chipboard pieces a few coats of gesso (about 3) and let them dry. I decided that I wanted some of the pieces to be gold so I took them outside and gave them a good coat of gold spray paint.

Next I layered all of my patterned paper pieces together and added my photo to the page.

Then I added all of my chipboard pieces.

I finished with the remaining stickers and fussy cut butterflies.

Wonderful Memories - Adri Du Preez - Mood Board Inspiration

 Hello everyone!

My layout was inspired by the beautiful December mood board featuring Dusty Attic chipboard pieces.  This mood board is STUNNING, to say the least.  Remember you have until the end of December to participate in the challenge. It's hard to believe this is my last layout for Dusty Attic in 2021!  I look forward to the mood board challenges for 2022, they are amazing!

Here is the mood board.

and here is my layout.

White gesso was first applied to all the chippies.

Foliage F28 and F26 were painted with Americana Acrylic paint in Mint Julep Green and the berries were heat embossed with Zing embossing powder in Mustard.

Leaves #2 were heat embossed with Ranger embossing powder in Terra Cotta.

For the title, I used American Acrylic paint in Peaches 'n Cream and Primary Yellow. Creating your own title is easy and fun using the Word Packs.

The beautiful Lacey Trims were painted in white acrylic paint.

Here you can see how I used the word tab and tag.

The final touches to this layout included art stones and splatters with diluted white gesso.

Adore - Lynette Jaobs - Mood Board Inspiration

 Hello Dusty Attic Fans!

Lynette here, welcome to the blog today. I am sharing my take on the December mood board.  This month I chose to showcase my stunning little grandson Kian, who lives in Australia and whom I miss very much.  I papers of the Heidi Swapp Honey and Spice collection perfectly matched the mood board.

Isn't he just too beautiful!

Here is the mood board:

These are the chipboard pieces used to complete my project:

Botanical Ringlets

Foliage #27

Love Cherish Adore

Wordpl@y 3

Mini Me

Here are some close up details of my process:

I first prepared my white background paper by sprinkling Minc Reactive Mist onto it and then foiling it with Champagne foil.  I then cut strips of the Honey and Spice papers that match the mood board and distressed them before adding them down the page.

The Botanical Ringlets were heat embossed with white embossing powder and perfectly frames that cute little face.  I inked the edges of a canvas tag and added the Mini Me icon to it.  The icon was dry brushed with white acrylic paint.

I added two floral clusters to frame the photo.  The foliage was also painted with acrylic paint and then the flowers as well as the foliage was dry brushed with white acrylic paint.  The Wordpl@y words were also dry brushed with white acrylic paint. 

I just love how this page turned out.  This colour combination is just so beautiful.

Dream Passionately - Rikki G - Mood Board Inspiration

Wow we are at the end of the year !!! What a year it has been, plenty of highs and lows but the one thing that has been constant is trying to do a little bit more scrapping and using that time to reflect on the positives, and with that in mind the NEW Dusty Attic Moodboard is perfect for those reflective moments.

This time I really wanted to focus on doing a boy page, the tones happen to be my middle sons favourite colours.

 

So to start off I used the Parkwood Large tree and grabbed a selection of Tim Holtz Oxides - Cracking Campfire, Aged Mahogany, Carved Pumpkin. Used a blending brush and worked between colours to get a mixed leaf effect with shadows and high lights.

I also did the same effect on the Moon, using Tim Holtz Oxide - Fossilized Amber and Wild Honey.

Now your probably wondering about the metallic effect? This is achieved by using Lindy Stamp Gangs Magicals in the brown/ gold /copper tones. I used a large brush and dropped the colours over the top of the oxides, this allows the ink to come up off the chipboard and interact with the other colours of the Magicials.

To achieve the heavy watermark look on the chipboard elements- heat with a heat gun and do it intensely, and I do mean heat to the point of smoking. Dont worry its not burning its more about the water drying in the chipboard.

Use embossing enamel rather than power, it gives you a nice thick layer that looks like metal. Plus they also come in mixed tones so you get a lux look rather than one flat colour.

If your wondering... the leaves are fussy cut out of washi tape, yes I know that sounds insane but you get this sheer effect and you can curl the edges up.

Adding a little glass cabochon will make it look like a water droplet over your twig formation. Just stack the Driftwood chipboard so you get plenty of height and dimension.
