All you need in Love - Lynette Jacobs - Mood Board Inspiration

Lynette here, welcome to the blog today. I am sharing my take on the September mood board. I used a photo of my beautiful daughter taken on her wedding day.

The beautiful Moodboard:

Dusty Attic products used:

Lillies

Mini Caption #28

Some close up images:

I first prepared my background by applying distress inks in the complimentary colours along the edges of the white cardstock.  I then matted the cardstock on a patterned paper.

I painted the lilies with acrylic paint and shaded it.  When I wanted to add it to my page it was just too bright so I diluted white acrylic paint with water and gave the lilies and leaves a white wash to soften the colours.

I have started to hand stitch on my pages again and I love the texture that it adds.  I added some white 49 and Market lilies and die cut foliage.

Lastly I added some soft blue pearls and two vellum butterflies.  I love how a mood board can be used to make either a bright layout or a muted one, depending on your photos.

Why not enter the Mood Board challenge yourself? All you need to do is add your take of the challenge into the comments section on the Dusty FANattics Facebook page HERE for your chance to win one of two amazing $50 Credits to choose any. Good Luck and have fun creating.

Until next time.  Happy crafting.

Wander & Wonder More - Michelle Van Oudtshoorn - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello lovelies

Oh my - the moodboard for this month is just beautiful! 

I love this moodboard - you can take part in the Dusty Attic moodboard challenge by using the moodboard as inspiration and Dusty Attic chipboard and add your entry to the DustyFANattics facebook page for your chance to win one of $50 credit of Dusty Attic chipboard. 

Here is my take on the Challenge:

The chipboard (except the chicken wire) was all covered in black gesso and then various shades of purple waxes added to the pieces. I have gone for a darker shade on the bigger foliage (DA3347 - I used two of these) and lighter shades on the mini foliage (DA2440).

The chicken wire (DA0457) was painted with metallic paint.

I cut the chicken wire into two pieces and layered these at the top and bottom corners of the photo. I then layered my flowers around the photo.

I added foliage among the flowers and under the flowers, as well as the wagon wheels (DA2803)

I made another small cluster to the right of the photo, also adding chipboard foliage, and the little songbird (DA3301). I finished off adding beads to the layout.

These are the products I have used:

Thank you for visiting the blog today.

Take care,

Michelle

Provence canvas panel - Kerstin Filou - Mood Board inspiration

Welcome creative friends!

 Today a new inspiration for our amazing monthly Moodboard at Dusty Attic.

The colour combination was fits for me to

our summer garden.

 

I was inspired to create a wooden panel in Altered art.

 

It reminds me of the wonderfully fragrant blooming

 lavender in our garden, beautiful again every year.

 

 

 

 

 

I combined several cut outs from a suitable paper collection (Fabrica Decoru), added amazing chipboards, cutting dies, structures and  also natural dried organic materials.

 

Chipboards were primed with white gesso, and painted with purple acrylic paint or  even decorated with crackle varnish.

Escape into Nature - Rikki G - Mood Board Inspiration

Good morning how are you? I am here today to share Dusty Attics new chipboard and new Moodboard. Can you get a better combo?

This colour combo is divine, and I have to say I was inspired by the bold colours and the serine white glow that the image showed so that was my inspiration 

Once again my go to is just plain crisp white chipboard and it especially looks good when you have big bold colours. Things dont get lost with white on white especially when you spray paint the chipboard, as you get the definition through the dark shadow with the depth of the chipboard itself.

To add movement to the dandelion chipboard snip a couple of pieces off and make them look like they are blowing apart.

Stack the leaves in different angles and heights to lead your eye around to the title.

Add small butterflies over printed ones to add more interest.

Day Dreamer - Adri Du Preez - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello everyone!

Here is my layout inspired by the stunning September mood board, and featuring 

Dusty Attic chipboard pieces. For this layout, I used the Ingenue paper from the 49 and 

Market Vintage Artistry Lilac collection.

This is my daughter during one of our many photo shoots a few years ago.

Here is the beautiful mood board.

and here is my layout.

 To create more detail on the background I randomly stamped with a Music stamp, then I primed the background with clear gesso.  To add more colour to the background, I used Distress Oxide in Salty Ocean, Wilted Violet, and Lindy's Tea Pot Purple. Then 

I glued Tim Holtz tissue paper, butterflies from a serviette, and Vintage Artistry Butter/Lilac and Sky/Navy rub-ons.

All the chippies were first covered in white gesso.

Unless otherwise stated, chipboard pieces are painted with Americana Acrylic paint.

The Music Hashtags words, mini scrolls, and ATC frame were heat embossed with white embossing powder.  For the title, I used the mini tab Day Dreamer. 

 I glue words onto my flower clusters by first gluing them onto acetate, and then applying transparent matte gel to them.

The flower clusters are made up of a variety of pretty blooms and die-cut foliage and flowers. 

I coloured the lavender with Plum and dry brushed it with Wild Orchid and white acrylic paint.

The Wildflower was painted with Whispering Turquoise and dry brushed with white acrylic paint.

How beautiful are these new Botanic Buttons?  I just love them!  They were 

coloured with  Whispering Turquoise, and Wild Orchid then dry brushed with white 

acrylic paint.

The Music Flourish and Music Notes were painted with Lamp Black.

Some close-ups.

The final touches to this layout included art beads, sequins, and splatters with diluted white gesso.
