Treasure the little moments - Adri Du Preez - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello everyone!

Here is my layout inspired by the beautiful February mood board.  For this layout, I used the 49 and Market Vintage Artistry Color in Sage. 

Here is the mood board.

and here is my layout.

I first covered the Stump and grass, paddock fence, grass clusters #1 and #2 with clear gesso, and then Distress Oxide in Black Soot, Walnut Stain, Iced Spruce, and Mowed Lawn. Press the four Distress Oxide Ink pads onto a craft mat and spritz with water 

creating small droplets.  I started with Walnut Stain for the base color and slid the chippies through the droplets a few times and dry with a heat tool. Repeat with all the colors and dry in between. I also splattered the chippies with the same colors for a 

mottled effect. 

The cog frame, cogs, and gears were painted with black gesso. Next, I painted them 

with Americana Acrylic paint in Burnt Umber, Georgia Clay, and True Ochre, and then dry brushed with white gesso.

Foliage #10 was painted with white acrylic paint.

For the ombre effect on the title, I used Americana Acrylic paint in Mint Julep Green 

and Arbor Green.

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

Don't go ... - Pascale B - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello Sweeties,

Today, I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a new panel canvas inspired by the beautiful February Mood Board.

Here is the lovely February mood board

I covered the canvas with Fabric Tape which I painted with white gesso to tone down the text. Next, I added some Paper paste and Modeling paste randomly to add some texture, but I didn't cover the whole canvas. 

When everything was dry, I painted the canvas with liquid acrylic paints. Next, I used a stencil and gilding glue to add some gold Metallic Flakes. Then I covered the Metallic Flakes with Clear Crackle paste. 

I primed the "Ferns", the "Foliage #23", and the "Mystic Flourish" with white gesso. I painted the leaves and flourish with green paint and added a touch of white gold wax.

For the "Window & Shutter" and the "Brick Wall Border", I used the Linen Impasto to color them. Next, I used Ochre and Old White waxes. 

I added black paint and white gold wax to highlight the crackles. To finish I added gold glitter.

A Girl and her Dog - Belinda Spencer - Mood Board Inspiration

 Hello Dusty Attic fans!

It's Belinda here with you today to share my layout inspired by the gorgeous February Mood Board using lots of fun Dusty Attic products.

Here's a peek at the Mood Board

'A Girl and her Dog'

For this layout I started by adding some stencilling to the background patterned paper using the Heart Attack Stencil with white gesso. The white spots on the paper made the love hearts look weird so I used a fineliner pen to add an outline.

Next I created a stack of co-ordinating patterned paper, a torn piece of the corrugated card and a Grid Panel at the bottom. I tore the edges of the grid panel away in places to give it a more rustic look.

Next I painted the chipboard pieces that I wanted coloured. I gave those pieces a couple of coats of gesso first. Then I mixed up some acrylic paint to match the mood board and applied that to select pieces.

Finally I assembled my layout adding my photo and some extra embellishments.

The Dusty Attic products used:

DA0830 Corrugated Card

DA1119 Tile ABC Set

DA1309 Heart Attack Stencil

DA2372 Grid Panel # 1

DA2411 A Girl and her Dog

DA2415 Paw Prints - Dog

DA2937 Daily #

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today. I hope you find some time to play with the mood board and some awesome Dusty Attic chipboard too.

Cheers

Belinda

Handsome Boy - Deb Stephens - Mood Board Inspiration

This altered embroidery hoop was inspired by the February Mood board and came together with a lot of beautiful products including some the Naturalist 6x 8"collection Pack from 49 & Market, Die cuts, Paint and and Dusty Attic Chipboard and stencil.

The hoop was painted in shades of green and then gold embossing paste was applied through the stencil to the sides using the DA stencil called Scales. The hoop was then glued to a thick sheet of clear acetate after removing the protective film from one side and left to dry. The excess acetate was then trimmed from around the hoop with a trimmer and more gold embossing paste was stencilled onto it in various sections and left to dry.

Gesso was then applied to all the chipboard (except the black Mini Tabs) then painted and embossed. I used a selection of frames, mini tabs, mini foliage, love arrows for this. My favourite part is that there was not a lot of fussy cutting! I used dies to cut out more leaves of different sizes from the Vintage Artistry collection of paper along with their pop out elements and flowers.

I finished it off by building and adhering up the layers and adding bits of Tule and Sisal for added interest along with some 49 & Market Flowers. I removed the protective backing from the acetate from the back of the hoop and sat it on a clear stand for display. I love how the layout seems to "float" in the hoop (it's hard to take a photo because all backgrounds show through the acetate).

I hope the Mood Board inspires you to get out your craft stash and start creating again.
