the PERFECT day -- Adri Du Preez - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the blog. Here is my layout inspired by the beautiful September mood board which features beautiful Dusty Attic chipboard pieces. 

The beautiful bride on the photo is my daughter-on-law.

Here is the mood board.

and here is my layout.

 

All the chippies were first primed with a layer of white gesso and then painted 

with Americana Acrylic paint.

For the Ombre effect on the title, I used Poodleskirt Pink at the top and Boysenberry Pink at the bottom and dry brushed with white acrylic paint in the middle.

The mini titles were painted with white acrylic paint.

The Word Discs were painted with Poodleskirt Pink and dry brushed with white acrylic paint.

The Seedlings were painted with Light Lime and the edges with Lush Foliage.

The Flower Posie #4 is just beautiful. I snipped the posie in pieces, colored it with Posca pens in Pink Rose and Light Green, and tucked them in the flower clusters.

After everything glued down I added pearls splatters with diluted white gesso.

PRECIOUS Moments - Adri Du Preez

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the blog today. 

My August design team layout features beautiful Dusty Attic chipboard pieces.   This is a photo of my daughter and grandson.  This photo reflects so much love and happiness.

Here is my layout.

All the chippies were first primed with a layer of white gesso and then painted 

with Americana Acrylic paint.

The Squiggly frame was left white and cut in half and glued between the paper layers.

I painted the title with Whispering Turquoise and Turquoise Blue and dry brushed with white acrylic paint.

The heart banners were painted with Peaches 'n Cream, Green Lagoon and Whispering Turquoise.

I painted Foliage #27 with  Whispering Turquoise and Turquoise Blue.

I also used my favorite Wordpl@y elements.

The butterflies were painted with Peaches 'n Cream and Coral.

After everything glued down I added splatters with diluted white gesso.

Adventure Bound - Rikki G - Sketch Inspiration

Good morning how are you ? I am here for Dusty Attic and I have a very grunge layout for you today based on the the sketch challenge.

Which you still have time to enter and also the moodboard and the sketch challenge which will give you the chance to win an amazing $50 Voucher.

Here's is a reminder of what the sketch looks like:

 

So the key to getting the water colour effect is a little patience, with the chipboard being sprayed with white spray paint you need to let it dry naturally and keep building up the colour.

Don't heat with a heat gun, firstly because it gives off a toxic fume and it wont allow the water to get in between layers to give it a weathered effect.

My background layer started with Barb Wire Fence and then I added photos over the top of it.

The next piece added was the Industrial Cluster #1, under the right hand side of the photo.

Now its about using pieces of the Triangle Panel, just use small sections over the background.

To add more depths to the layout, use pieces from Cogs and Gears.

 

Dont forget to add some art stones and of course more paint to tie everything together.

So why dont you get a little bit messy, till next time, have a creative day.
