Wolf Queen Tag - Deb Stephens

Hello Everyone.

I'm here on the Dusty Attic blog to share my large Wolf Queen Mixed media Tag with you.

This project was done a large MDF 6x12' Tag and I wanted to challenge myself to use new colours, as I traditionally veer towards a grungy, steampunk look.

It was easier than I thought to create a whimsical/boho themed tag incorporating the Dusty attic stencils and chipboard with other mixed media products. I am my own worst enemy, as I overthink everything and am scared of ruining things. I convinced myself this time, that if the worst happened, I would gesso over everything and start again.

But the worst didn't happen. This project was easy to complete with so many beautiful chipboard designs to choose from like Dreamcatchers, Mini Feathers, Whimsical moons etc. I have listed all the Dusty Attic products used, below.

I hope you enjoyed this project. See you again soon!

Dusty Attic products used:

• DA0746- Dream Catcher #2
• DA2252 - Heraldry Motif
• DA0650 – Mini Feathers
• DA2740 – Moons #1 by Nuneka
• DA1613 - Birds Stencil

I hope you enjoyed this project. See you again soon!

Dreamcatcher - Karan Gerber

HI Friends, welcome to the blog today for some inspiration. I have designed a Dream Catcher for Dusty Attic today and used lots of chipboard and some of my favorite Rust Pastes

This sits on a 6x12 canvas which i added some Patina paste to and more orange paste to complement the Dream Catcher. 

I love how this turned out. 

I used one of the skeleton clock faces as the largest part of the catcher, adding the circle from the Decorative frame and then finally the Dream Catcher. 

I cut apart the Decorative Frame #2 so i could use the circle behind the skeleton clock and i used the flourishes at the bottom of the catcher to add more detail. 

I cut apart the mini chains and used them as links; I added in the Feather Charms too. 

I hope you love my project this week and looking forward to inspiring you again soon.

such a Great Day to remember - Belinda Spencer

Hello Dusty FANattics!!

It's Belinda here today with my first post for the new year! I have created a super girly layout featuring one of the stunning chipboard dream catchers as well as some fabulous mini designs.

'Great Day'

I used the beautiful Mandala Stencil on my background paper to add some interest to the left hand side of the main area on my layout. I used heavy white gesso with the stencil and applied using a latex make-up wedge in a light dabbing motion for a lovely smooth application.

I used the same gesso (It's my go to product!!) to colour the dream catcher, mini butterflies, caption and mini foliage.

I used a feather stamp with some pink Archival Ink to add some detail to the feathers on the dream catcher.

Did you spy that sweet little mini banner in there? I covered that with an off cut of the patterned paper I used. I added double-sided tape to the back of the paper, removed the backing tape and then pressed the banner onto it before cutting out with a craft knife.

The Dusty Attic products used:

DA0745 Dream Catcher # 1

DA0893 Mini Butterflies # 2

DA1021 Mini Banners

DA1633 Mandala Stencil

DA1834 Mini Captions # 11

DA2440 Mini Foliage

Thank you for stopping by the blog today. I hope you are feeling refreshed and inspired for the new year to grab your Dusty Attic supplies and have a play.

Cheers

Beautiful - Dreamcatcher - Michelle Carrick

Hello Michelle with you today, this is my first project.

This is my step-niece Mia and I just loved the little face she was doing!

I choose to use only two colours for my first canvas project!

I created my version of a dream catcher.

I painted my canvas pink first, 

then using white gesso and crackle paste 

on top, while the bottom layer was not dry.

Then splatted pink paint and used gold embossing powder  to create the back ground.

For the little canvas I painted dark green.

I used the new Kaisercraft range and covered my seven single LP. I attached a crochet doily to a ring and on the one side attached all the ribbon. 

I placed pink paper underneath to make it stand out.

For all the  Dusty Attic NEW and Old chip boards,

 I painted half with dark yellow and the other half with  Green - fair wings.

The word Beautiful is painted with dark pink.

Finally, I placed and attached everything down.

I hope you enjoyed my project

We do not remember days, planner..... - Aleksandra Mihelic

Hello dear friends,

I'm very excited to share with you my Dusty Attic inspiration for the month of January. I was always in love with these gorgeous Dusty Attic Dreamcatchers and it felt perfect for the first month of the year to use them on my planner. This is the time when we analyse our past year, make plans and dream sweet dreams for the year to come. But it is also important not to forget that it is the small everyday moments that count most and make our lives rich.

I used few of my favourite Dusty Attic chipboards in the combination with AB Studio papers "Dreamland". I covered the big Dusty Attic Dreamcatcher with Finnabair Dusty Rose Impasto paint and on top of it with two Texture Fantasy Rust Pastes "Taupe Rose" and "Cream". On the background paper I used beautiful Dusty Attic Distressed Diamonds stencil. I couldn't avoid using also the perfect Dusty Attic quote from Quoted Sentiments collection. It fitted perfectly.

I added some stamping and some white splashes with diluted white acrylic paint. I love the effect it gives to the project. 

Dusty Attic products used for the project:

- Distressed Diamonds Stencil

- Dream Catcher #2

- Wall clock #2

- Quoted Sentiments #1 Black

Thank you for stopping by. I hope you liked my project and it inspired you to dream and to create something beautiful! I wish to you an amazing Year 2019.

Hugs, Aleksandra

Steampunk Dreamcatcher - Joanne Bain - Challenge inspiration

Joanne here today to share my Steampunk Dreamcatcher. To create the dreamcatcher I used almost all varieties of Dusty chipboard cogs available. I totally love that they are made in all different sizes, makes them perfect for layered clusters.

'Follow Your Heart'

The centre of the dreamcatcher was made by using 2 of the large cogs from the Jumbo Cogs set. If you choose to give this a go you will need 2 sets of the Jumbo Cog sets. I cut a bit away from the centre of the top cog so once layered it gives a bit of a border to the centre.

In between the 2 cogs I have place and Industrial Scroll.

The main cluster was created by layering a lot of different sized Dusty cogs. The base of the cluster started with a Dusty Cog Cluster and then I continued to later other cogs on top.

The feathers were wet and then slightly pulled apart for extra dimension.

The feathers were attached with copper jewlery wire and some chains from cheap necklaces. To add extra feature to the dreamcatcher I also added some old jewlery hearts.

To go with the steampunk theme I added screws and various Graphic 45 metal keys.
