Memories - Michelle Van Oudtshoorn - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello lovelies!

I have my take on the June moodboard up on the blog today

I have drawn inspiration off the colours - particularly the purple tones to create my layout

I have used a collection of papers from Studio 73 to create my layout. All my chipboard has been prepped first using white gesso. When the gesso was dry, I then added colour to the chipboard pieces. I used a variation of colours - I used a sponge, painting on stripes - first a dark purple, then a lilac, then a orangey/red acrylic paint, I repeated this process over the surface of the sponge, and then dabbed this into my chipboard pieces to create an ombre effect.

I added the frame (DA2673 - get frames distressed - rectangle) to the photo and adhered this to the page with foam tape down the centre of the photo, adding tags behind this as a mat. The Botanic Ringlets Frame (DA2919) was cut in half - one half added to the top left corner and the other to the bottom right corner. 

From here I began layering my fussy cut elements and the mini foliage (DA3421) around the left side of the photo, around the bottom and towards the right corner. I also created a small cluster to the top right corner of my layout.

Once I had finished the layering of my fussy cut elements and chipboard foliage, I added a part of the title Memories (DA3342) to the layout to finish off.

These are the products I have used:

Fun Times - Kim Arnold

Hi everyone! Today I am bringing you my take on the June mood board. I loved the colours of this moodboard and used all the colours in my clusters of flowers. For the base of the layout, I focused on two shades of purple with a pop of the orange. These photos are from when hubby and I attended a local production of Hair the Musical, and it just happened that the lighting made our selfie very orange and the image for the musical was very purple – so perfect for this moodboard!

I decided to use a section of the large geo panel 12 x 12 background (3 squares wide by 4 squares long – I used other parts of the geo panel on other layouts) to create a panel that would sit behind my photo cluster. I painted this with a pale creamy apricot acrylic paint.

Geo Panel #3 Large

I liked the Fun Times words that were in the Mini Captions 21 pack. Although not a big title, I thought it worked well next to the cluster of flowers. So the title would pop, after I painted in an orange acrylic paint, I finished it with Dimensional Magic so it had a dimensional shiny finish.

I painted the dandelions using gold mica paint. This colour isn’t specifically on the mood board, but I think of gold as a neutral colour and it brings a real pop to the flower clusters. These dandelions are one of my absolute favourite Dusty Attic products and they look so beautiful tucked into flower clusters.
