'Magnificent'

Hello dear Dusty FANattics!

Love the dark and rich colours of

 this months mood board. It is fabulous!

Here is my take on the Oct challenge.

Inspired by the these fabulous colours, I created a Mixed Media Layout

featuring lots of beautiful Dusty Attic chipboard. I used a combination

 of the gorgeous Prima collections Amelia Rose and Zella Teal. I added

lots of texture to my page using a stencil and some texture paste. I 

coloured my background with Finnabair metallique and sparks paint.

The chipboard pieces have been altered with metallique and sparks 

paint too. I heat embossed the chippie title with gold embossing powder.

I adorned my photo (via Pinterest) with lost of stunning Prima flowers 

and fussy-cut leaves.

Amour - Nicole Doiron

 

Hello Dusty FANattics!

 

It's Nicole and I'm in the mood for love! :) 

 

I recently went to the wedding celebration of 2 of my best friends, and I thought it would be special to create a canvas for them to remember this special day.

 

The canvas is 16 inches by 20 inches. I covered it with a coat of clear gesso,

 

and then used 2 different Dusty Attic stencils, Damask #2 and Large Dot, to add some texture and design to the base with modeling paste and several coats of inks, sprays and paints.

Since my friends are francophones, I used a saying from the French Wordplay, the Ensemble Amour set, as well as the word 'moments' from the Mini Tags #3 which has the same meaning in both languages.

 

Working with such a large surface, I thought it would be awesome to use several of the beautiful Fancy Frames. I added a few smaller frames from the Frame Medley. 

 

 

I wanted to keep them all elegant and classy and part of the background, so I used white embossing powder and white acrylic paint on them.

 

 

In the above image you see two Ornate Pendants colored in black.

 

 

On the words I used paprika colored embossing powder to match the orange and royal blue colour palette, which you can guess were also the wedding colours. I decorated with some Baroque Flourishes and black Decorative Dots.

 

I went a bit crazy with the flowers!  I love how there is no limit when working with canvases... you can use some of the biggest and thickest flowers in your staff because there's no limit!

 

 

I always get very nervous when creating a project as a gift, but I do love how this turned out, and my friends loved it as well.

 

Now, let's take a look at all the Dusty Attic chipboard and other products used.

This is Paradise - Kerstin Filou

Hello creative friends!

Our summer was and is very hot and dry, 

I would just like still  hang out ;-).

Who can, goes to the sea and cools down or relaxes at home in the garden. 

Today I let our Sheltie swing comfortably in the hammock. 

'The bare necessities - Probier's mal mit Gemütlichkeit'

  

 I was inspired to try a new idea. 

I worked with some fabric leftovers and create a sea inspired mixed
media canvas.

here can you see both fabric pieces which I used for the hammock

  

Unfortunately I didn't have a sewing machine yet and so I used a hot glue gun to get everything into shape and glue it together. 

That worked better than I thought.

Beautiful - Nicole Doiron

Hello Dusty FANattics!

Nicole here with you today with a very purrr-etty layout featuring my one and only kitty cat Sugar that I love so much!

I was so thrilled when I saw many cat-themed designs in the July chipboard release.

Jennifer really outdid herself this time in catering to all of us cat and dog lovers.

For this layout I used the title You Had Me At Meow which is absolutely adorable.

I cut up a piece of the Large Heart Attack Panel and framed the right side of the picture with it. 

I used Ranger Distress Oxide Spray on it, Distress Stain and then added a bit of embossing powder.

On the adorable cat Paw Prints, I put embossing powder and then acrylic paint.

I love the Polaroid Frames to add some layering to my page.

You can see below that I matched the large panel hearts with Heart Designer Discs.

And to finalize the cat theme, I added a piece from the Cat set, treated in white.

What a lovely photo of my furbaby, and I am happy to have been able to create this layout with loads of Dusty Attic chipboard to always cherish and remember.

Here is all the chipboard that I used on my layout!

Beauty - Mary Tzalla with VIDEO TUTORIAL

Hello dear friends!

Mary with you today and I have a new layout with a video tutorial to share with you. As always I found my photo on Pinterest and this one inspired me to create a soft romantic page in green, white and brown tones. 

But, before I continue more I want to give all the proper credits to the ''unknown'' photographer. To create my page I used Maja Design papers from the gorgeous ''Vintage Summer Basics'' collection along with some gorgeous Dusty Attic chipboards and beautiful 49 and Market flowers.

You can watch all the procedure here…

  The paper I used is the ''1921'' and I started by applying a coat of clear gesso. Then, I created texture with Finnabair paper texture paste and the Dusty Attic Damask #2 Stencil. When the paste dried, I randomly stamped using 49 and Market stamp sets. I added color with the Lindy’s Gang ''Greased Lightnin' Green'' spray.

Next, I cut out some pieces from the ''Lattice Small'' panel and colored them with Finnabair Rustic Brown acrylic paint. Continued with the ''Mini Foliage'' and ''Hanging Vines'' chippies which were also painted with the Golden Moss paint. Some waxes in bronze and white gold were randomly rambed on them. The ''Juliette Balcony #2'' and the chipboard from the ''Mini Bird Cages #1'' were heat embossed with the Stampendous Aged Taupe embossing enamel.

 Then, I layered all the gorgeous elements around my photo and added in some 49 and Market  flowers from the ''Wildflowers, Country & Seaside Blooms'' sets. At last, I added the title word ''Beauty'' from the ''Wordpl@y #2 BLACK'' set and finished it up with art stones, glass beads and glitter.
