Love - Michelle Van Oudtshoorn - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello!

What a glorious moodboard Dusty Attic has for us this October month. The colours are just so pinkalicious!

These gorgeous pink shades are just beautiful! Here is my layout created using the moodboard as inspiration.

The 49 and Market blush collection is just perfect for this moodboard. I have torn the pages and adhered. I used the Starry Night Stencil (DA1763) to create some texture in the background before adding paint splatters in dark pink. I mixed a pink and orange paint to provide the colour for the fence (DA2563) adhering this under the photo.

I have then layered flowers, lace and die cuts

The tabs (DA1803) are wonderful to use on projects - with different words to use. I have chosen the tab "darling" for my layout - dabbing paint lightly on the chipboard piece so as not to fill the letters with paint.

The title "love" is painted Dusty in Colour Raisin and adhered on top of the flowers.

Because of You ... Adri Du Preez - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello everyone!

Here is my layout inspired by the amazing September mood board.  I just love the colours of this mood board.

Here is the mood board.

and here is my layout.

 How absolutely amazing is this title and so very true.  The title as well as the leaves #2 were embossed with white embossing powder.

The Paddock Fence Set were first covered with white crackle texture paste.  Once completely dry I inked the fence with brown ink, and dry brushed with white gesso for a more distressed look.

All the foliage, leaves and Wattle blossoms were first covered with white gesso and then painted with acrylic paint and dry bushed with gesso.  I snipped the leavy frame in pieces and tucked them under the flower clusters.

Here are a few more close ups.

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

These are the Dusty Attic chipboard pieces that I used.

Live Beautifully - Michelle Van Oudtshoorn

Hello Scrappy friends

Trust everyone had a good Easter weekend. I have managed to get some scrapbooking done - and here is a project I created with some gorgeous Dusty Attic chippies.

SO wish the weather was like the warmth in this picture. Winter has certainly made itself known the last few days - its been raining and cold - great weather for scrapbooking admittedly - but oh for the warmth of the sun ... and we are only just starting with winter here in New Zealand.

I have used a mixture of 49 and Market and Mintay collections to create this layout. The base page is from Mintay. And the cut outs are a mixture of fussy cut from Mintay and the laser cuts from the 49 and Market Island Paradise Collection. I have also used the barbed wire from the 49 and Market Laser Cut Frame No 1 pack.

The fence is the Crooked Fence chippie, which I cut in half, sponged it in white paint. Once dry I then dabbed a bit of rusty gold paint on it, and then sanded over the fence lightly to give it that old weathered look.

The sea shells were done in various shades of Creative Expressions Polishing Wax and then done in various shades of opal polish to give it a nice shine and in various tones.

The title Live Beautifully was also done in the same waxes and then toned over with a gold polish

Once this all laid down I then used some of the Dusty in Colour Denim paint and watered this down and then with a paint brush went around the light house, the top of the photo and around the frame, and around the bottom of the shell arrangement to add some dimension.

I finished off adding some art stones and then dabbing some blue paint over these.

 And these are the products I have used available at Dusty Attic:
