To the moon and back - Tina Ollett - Mood board inspiration

Hello and welcome. Tina O here with you today to share my moodboard inspired project for August.

This is titled

"To the moon and back".....

And below is the Dusty Attic moodboard that I drew inspiration from. For this project I used the colours of course and also the shabby features of the board along with laces to take from the sewing pieces in it as well.

Remember there is still time to enter your project for some awesome Dusty Attic chipboard prizes.

For this project I have used a photo of my youngest when she was only very young. There have been many of these photos from a sequence of photos that I have used over the years. So innocent and sweet!! I remember this day that her and I spent out in the garden as we did a lot back then. She decided to catch butterflies with the lobby net. I think she was successful but as always her sweet nature of course, was to release it and not to hurt it.

For the background papers I have used Maja Designs gorgeous Celebration Collection. This has become a true favourite of mine over the past month. The collection caters for most of those pretty shabby colours and it was especially a perfect fit for my project here.

 

And I have also used a couple of the Monochromes . These are just perfect for matching each collection or on their own, but this was great as I had run out of paper and need some matting for my photo.

I did some tearing and layered up my papers to highlight my 4 x 6 portrait photo. And as mentioned. I used the monochromes to mat my photo.

I did lots of layering using this gorgeous lace. I cut it so that it formed a v on my layout which helped to frame my large lacey frame which I cut in half and laid at the base of the photo. This chipboard piece was inked and also sponged with a little of Dusty Attic's Oceania Acrylic Paint. The smaller frame was also cut in half and laid at the top left of the layout to start my corner cluster .

Below is more of the gorgeous pieces of Dusty that was used for this project. The pieces were all dressed similarly using Walnut Stain Distress Ink, Oceania Paint and a little gesso. Sponging paint over the dried ink gives a really interesting outcome.

I have also added in some gorgeous florals from 49andMarket from the Botanicals collection. Each of these were dry brush with some gesso to lighten the colours a little. The stamens of the flowers were coloured with some chocolate liquid pearls. I also added in some tea stained cheesecloth and a few art stones.

I have also added in some jute that was tied around a group of the foliage and added to the front of the window and shutters that were bent to look aged.

Well that is all from me today. I do hope you have enjoyed my moodboard inspired project. Until next time happy crafting. Hugs xo

I’m back, with my second layout and is based on this months Mood board challenge, you still have 5 days to enter! 

This is my beautiful girl, named Baby.

Sadly, I lost her a few years ago and she is buried
her under my palm trees!

I worked on a canvas and used paper from
Kaisercraft.

I added bandage tape, Prima washi tape
and paper strips first, then using heavy gesso from Prima painted over lightly,
let dry, then I watered down my stormy Sky Tim Holtz paint, letting run and
helping it with a paint brush in the directions I wanted. Let dry, then using a
script stencil, stencilled over in places and added blue glitter.

I used coffee to colour my doily. I tore
corrugated paper and a piece from a book chalked them with dark brown on the
edges and added washi tape over the corrugated piece.

I painted my chippies with all-purpose
ink. I cut the wings off the key and cut up one of the lace boarders. For the
tab, I lightly painted the blue and topped off with the all-purpose ink.

Placing everything and sticking down, and
adding lace; pins; wool and flowers with a few 49 and market flowers. The strip at the bottom of the Kaisercraft page was so apt!

I loved this mood board and hope I inspired someone to take up the Dusty Attic challenge and post your layouts to @DustyFanatices Facebook page!

 Hello dears! 

  Today I'm back with a new layout made for our August's moodboard.

The beautiful photos of the board inspired me to create a soft romantic layout in blue and beige shades using some of our beautiful chipboards and lots of roses.

 Some detailed photos...

 I used some 7Dots Studio papers for my background and created some texture by applying
modeling paste
through a stencil. Then, I added color with the a Finnabair Ice Queen acrylic paint.

  I continued by painting the ''Lacey Frame Small'' and the title words from the ''Mini Words #1'' and the ''Mini Words #2'' with the same acrylic paint I colored my page.  

 The ''Boho Feathers'' were also
painted with the Finnabair White Pearl acrylic paint. 

When everything was glued down I added some pearls and glass beads and made some splatters with white gesso.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Travel - Patricia Basson - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello dear Blogger friends....

This month the Moodboard from Dusty Attic is filled with soft Blues and Creams... I took my inspiration from the Suitcases, the weathered look of the ladder and a little bit of the measuring tape. My husband and I went away for the weekend a few weeks ago, hence the suitcases. I coloured my Chipboard pieces to resemble the look of the ladder and added a little Measuring Tape Washi Tape.

   

I used several pieces of 49 and Market papers. After distressing and layering the papers, I added ink and stamping to the background. I used Tumbled Grass and Stormy Sky Distress Oxide inks. Also used several stamps with the same inks.

This was followed with Stencil work using the Dusty Attic Creative Script Stencil and white Crackle Paste coloured with Sassy Sapphire Magical from Lindy's Stampgang. I added random Lindy's Embossing Powder, Tilt-a-Wheel Teal on the Crackle Paste as well. I also added some watered down Brown Rust Effect Past by Finnabair.

The Hearts from the Hearts Attack Border #2 were treated with Metallique Waxes, Bronze Age and Vintage Gold.

After Gesso, I painted the Seagrass #2 with Metallique light Patina Acrylic Paint and random embossing with the same Embossing Powder. Texture added by some Gauss and Seas the Day Prills. 

The Iron Garnish #2 and small Decorative Frame #1 were Gesso'd, painted and distressed with the Brown Rust Paste. The Perforated Mesh Border pieces peeping out, got painted with the Light Patina Paint and embossed with Tannenbaum Green Gold Embossing powder.
