Our Everyday Life - Belinda Spencer - Mood Board Inspiration

 Hello Dusty Attic fans!

It's Belinda here to share my layout inspired by the February Moodboard featuring some fabulous chipboard pieces.

'Our Everyday Life'

Here's a peek at the February Moodboard:

The colours and texture in that inspiration pic are so gorgeous!

I found some patterned paper in my stash that contained some of the colours in the moodboard so I used that as my base. I added a few more colours to it using a Lindy's Stamp Gang Flat Fabio spray as well as some diluted Crushed Olive Dusty In Colour Paint. I stuck it down on some fabulous denim look paper that I have been hoarding for ages! Next I tore a piece of chicken wire chippie from the 12 x 12 Chicken Wire and stapled that to my page. I use a long arm stapler that makes it super easy to staple in the middle of the page.

Next I added a pretty paper doily, a torn piece of Corrugated Card and the Mini Chicken Wire that I had painted white with gesso. Again I stapled all of these pieces on.

I added a couple more chipboard pieces, this time painted with the Crushed Olive paint.

I added my photo on a paper stack of co-ordinating papers and all other embellishments. I kept some of the chipboard in its raw state, painted some with gesso and some with the crushed olive paint to mix things up a little.

Winter Garden - Kerstin Filou - Mood Board Inspiration

 

 Welcome creative friends!

 

 Everything is covered in deep snow, it's freezing cold and you can get some exercise every day by swinging the snow shovel. Winter has us firmly in its grip.

A winter where you look forward to spring all the more. Hopefully it will be soon!

Today I want to share with you a 12 x 12 layout in wintry mood. The colours of our monthly Moodboard inspired me to create a scrapbook page  with some impressions from our garden in winter time.

Memories Documented - Kristy Abela - Mood Board Inspiration

 

Welcome to February!!! The gorgeous pair I am posing with were attending the Year 6 Farewell. Aksel's now in year 12 and Ruby has grown into a lovely young woman and has left school. I had so much fun shopping with Ruby for her dress, her first Big Girl Dress. Yet all Aksel wanted to wear was boots!! Isn't it funny how these moments only seem like yesterday. For all of us, slightly different memories. Nevertheless... DOCUMENTED. 

 

Anyhoo... here is a rundown on my creative process.. I started my background with some book pages and scrapbook collage papers I have on my desk. I used some clear gesso to seal them and then added some highlights with some Neo Colour crayons in a similar colour. While the gesso is still wet it blends the pigment nicely and allows it to move around the page. I then added texture paste that I tinted with some chalk paint.

 Once dry I used some blue and green Neo Colour to add some contrast to the scribble circles in the stencil. I added a spritz of water to the crayon and it welled up and filled in the troughs.  

I kept the frames simple and used some golds acrylic paint to draw attention to the images.   

 

To decorate the wildflowers I used a chunky layer of gesso ensuring that the peaks and ridges were well defined. I used my Lindy's sprays and applied directly from the dropper onto the buds. I used two layers to get the colour intensity I liked. Once it was dry I used some gold wax and applied it lightly from my fingertip.

 

 

I used chalk paint to colour the flowers. to create the stamens I used a gel pen to add definition. later in the project I added a cabochon to the center. It magnifies the detail and makes it a cool 3D look.

 

I had fun digging deep and finding some memories. I hope you enjoy them too...

Found and Ordinary - Anat Weksler - Mood Board Inspiration

 Hello crafty friends!

Back today with my Moodboard inspired project - a couple of Industrial Coins.

To create my Industrial Coins I first cut 2 circles out of 6x6 Beauty Restless collection by Craft O'clock-Mixed Media and adhered them on 2 cardboard circles.

Next I primed the papers with Clear Gesso and when dry I grabbed the Cogs stencil and spread through it Blue Opals and Sparkly Onyx  Jewel effect paste - new Finnabiar's pastes. To make it more Interseting I sparkled Stampendous Aged and Lindy's Chunky Embossing Powders.

DA1328 - Cogs stencil

Part of the chippboards where colored with Finnabair Fantasy pastes and others with Metalique Paints. All were rubbed with different Metalique Waxes.

I wanted the Brick chipboards to look similar to the ones in Moodboard, the coloring was made with lots of layers, soon I will make a video tutorial to show how I made it.
