Crazy, Silly Fun - Nicole Doiron - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello everyone!

This is Nicole and I have a very bright and fun layout for you today!

My layout was inspired by the similarly bright April mood board from The Dusty Attic.

With this sunny colour palette as well as the beautiful image in mind, I found a photo of my nieces taken during their visit to Florida in 2005 which I found matched the theme and colours quite well.

I created the title Crazy Silly Fun using the Word Packs #13 and #16.

I created a geometric tile design on my page by tucking 3 of the Elegant Frames behind the photo. I colored them with 2 different shades of purple markers and then sprayed on a little white mist.

I used the same markers on the Page Pebbles and the title as well.

I used white embossing powder on the Machine Parts

to make them pop against the colorful background and paper layering.

Finally, here is a close up of my 2 favorite girls being adorable and... silly!

Here are the Dusty Attic chipboard pieces that I used on my page.

This fills my Heart - Kristy Abela - Mood Board Inspiration

This Fills my Heart 

Well I must say that this moodboard had me challenged! While I loved the colours they didnt fit with the image... So when I rummaged through my stash I either had the perfect paper... Or the perfect Pic... Not both!! In the end I think that it came off ok.. Thanks to Dusty Attic for really pushing me out of my comfort zone this time. 

So with any great project I began with colouring my embellishments. I really had to work out which ones deserved prominence in this layout. I added extra dimension to the pale colour I used by adding a layer of Dusty Attic Crackle Varnish. 

I primed my background with some Clear Gesso and used a TCW Stencil to apply some Tacky when Dry medium to. I wanted to add some actual sparkle to the Fab AB Studio background and used Guilding flakes... 

Once I brushed off all my flake I used a Dusty Attic Stencil and a sponge to push it into the background a little. I didn't want the gold to overpower the project.. 

Once the paint was dry I added some colour with Distress inkpad and some sprays. I knew the colour would re-activate and this was the effect I was after. I wanted a milky background with a hint of coral and shimmer... How did I go?

I used a metallic paint to colour my title and again... a touch of sparkle, this time with wax. I did a plain emboss of the Cosmic Swirl. It was too pretty to alter too much so I kept ot simple... It matched my Junior Bridesmaids anyway!!

Here you can see the LEAP! Yep, bold and metallic... but purple! 

Ironically it is my favourite colour but I just cannot create with it!

Love Always - Adri Du Preez - Mood Board Challenge

Hello everyone!

Can you believe April is almost over?  I hope you all had a very blessed Easter.

Winter is coming, and although we usually have a fairly warm climate in South-Africa, the winters can get pretty chilly! Perfect for creating!

Here is my layout inspired by the beautiful April mood board. Check out the Dusty Attic blog for more inspiration. 

This is my daughter on her wedding day. It was such a wonderful and perfect day.  Every time  I look at her wedding photos I am overwhelmed by the beautiful woman she has become. 

Here is the mood board.

and here is my layout

This is how I treated the chippies. 

 I embossed the title as well as the word disk with Zing Lavender embossing powder.

How absolutely beautiful is this Decorative Frame. I embossed the frame with Ice Enamels Relique embossing powder and then dabbed with gold and white acrylic paint.

I covered these cute bird houses and the foliage with Lilac acrylic paint and randomly dabbed with gold and white acrylic paint.

When everything was glued down I added beads and splatters with white diluted white gesso and black ink.

Some close-ups.

These are the Dusty Attic chipboard pieces that I used.

You matter to Me - Mary Tzalla - Mood Board Inspiration

  Hello dear friends!

Today, I'm back with a new layout based on our gorgeous moodboard. 

I loved the fresh and so vibrant color combination and I tried to use them all. I made a vintage romantic layout with lots of beautiful chipboards and my favorite 49 and Market flowers and papers.

 For my background I used the Paper No 5 from the 49 and Market Vintage Remnats collection and I created texture with Finnabair icing
paste and a stencil. Then, I added color with a Lindy's spray and made some random stamping.

  Next, I painted the ''Ornate Frame #7'' and the chipboards from the ''Baroque Flourishes'' with the Finnabair Golden Moss acrylic paint.

 The clock from the ''Mini Clock Faces'' and the ''Elegant Swirl #14'' were also painted with
the Finnabair Rustic
Brown paint.

I used the Finnabair Sparks Ginger Magic paint to color the chippies from the ''Flutterbies #3'', the ''Mini Bird Cages #1'' and the title ''You Matter To Me''.

Dusty Attic chipboards used:

Flutterbies #3
Mini Clock Faces
Ornate Frame #7
Elegant Swirl #14
Baroque Flourishes
Mini Bird Cages #1
You Matter To Me
Dusty In Bloom Grassy Knoll

49 and Market products used:

Happiness and Love - Aleksandra Mihelic - April Mood Board

Hello dear Dusty Attic friends and fans,

This month on Dusty Attic blog there is this gorgeous Moodboard with shades of green and orange. I decided to go on a little less vibrant note and I made more of a Vintage themed, darker, Layout with a Forest touch. I've used several "geary" Dusty Attic chipboards to go along and I realy like the result. I hope you'll like it too.

Photography is from Pinterest and is the work of amazing photographer Alexandra Bochkareva

 (and is of course not my work or property)

I used the beautiful 49 and Market papers for the background and to make cut-outs to embellish my layout. I decided to go with gorgeous big Dusty Attic clockface, gears and stitches, which I colored with Finnabair Rust pastes and added a touch of Firebird Wax. I love the texture on these gears. I also made some green and orange splashes with Art Alchemy Sparks paints.

And here is the list of gorgeous Dusty Attic chipboards I used for the project:

- Designer Mixed Chipboard - Discover,

- Cog Border #3,

- Quoted Sentiment #1 - Black,

- Barb Wire #2.

I also used the gorgeous 49 and Market papers from "Tattered Garden", Bold & Beautiful and gorgeous 49 and Market flowers.

Thank you for stopping by! 

Enjoy your day!

Hugs, Aleksandra
