My Dream - Kerstin Filou - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello everyone!

I'm back with a new layout created with our monthly moodboard inspiration.

Almost every little girl dreams of owning a pair of ballet shoes and attending her first dance lesson.

It's an exciting and tense experience that fills their hearts with delight.

After first lessons, sweetie little girls proudly jump through the park, feeling accomplished and happy.

Timeless Beauty - Judith Tijsen - Mood Board inspiration

Hello to you all,

This month we have another beautiful mood board at Dusty Attic.

It's a colourful collection of blue and purple shades.

This is my layout with which I hope to inspire you again.

Because the decorations are a bit larger than intended, the contours of the beautiful Ledger Stencil can just be seen.

I have not used the beautiful graceful hinges on a book for which they are normally intended.

But you can also very well use them in this way as decoration.

And how cute are the beautiful flowers called Frangipani #3(DA 2534)?

I used the following Dusty Attic items:

DA1891 - Ledger Stencil

DA1747 - Mystic Flourish

DA2187 - Decorative Hinge # 3 Small

DA2534 - Frangipani #3

DA2667 - Timeless Beauty

This is the moodboard for this month

You could win one of two $50 AUD credits to the Dusty Attic online store. The only requirement is that you have Dusty Attic chipboard on your creation and enter your project on the

Dusty FANattics Page.

Delight canvas - Michelle Van Oudtshoorn - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello lovely people

Todays project features the Dusty Attic moodboard for July. Such pretty colours! Still a few days to take part in the Challenge and add your entry to the Dusty FANattics facebook page using the moodboard and you can win one of two AUD50 worth of fabulous Dusty Attic chipboard :)

I have created a canvas for a change. I have used an 8" x 12" canvas which I first covered in white gesso and then added a stenciled background around the outside using texture paste and the Dusty Attic fishnet stencil DA1496.

I played around with the chipboard to see how I would place it first, and added pearls and bling to the canvas for extra texture. Took a photo of my placement, before taking these off to paint my background. There is a mixture of Prima Alchemy metallic paints, waxes and ink sprays used on the back ground. I painted the sunflowers DA3317, the daisies DA3306, the bee DA3314, the leaves DA3333 and the butterfly DA3335 with metallic paints too, dabbing them with a sponge to create different tones with the different colours.

I adhered the chipboard pieces to the canvas with glue. I then added darker coloured paint to the edges of the canvas and flowers to provide extra depth.

When I was done, I was able to tie a little bow around the stem of the Sunflower and added some words.

These are the products I have used:

Thank you for visiting the blog today.

Take care,

Michelle

every Photo tells a story - Patricia Basson - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello all.

Today I am sharing another page with photos of my youngest Daughter with you using the sweet pastel colors of the July Moodboard from Dusty Attic.

I used papers from AB Studio, Love comes Again, Angel's Heaven and Ocean of Kisses from the So much Love collection.

I punched and handstitched the edges of the multi layers trying to incorporate all the lovely colours.

Technique wise I did not do much this time. Reason is I bought a new product and wanted to try it out without to much fussing.

So after Gesso on the chipboard I coloured them with Cosmic Shimmer's Matt Chalk polish. It's an interesting textured product, I would describe it being like Putty, and it gives a real lovely Matt coverage on the chipboard. Easy to apply with either a sponge or paintbrush.

I used the colors Aqua, Antique Rose and Custard on the various pieces. On the little Frangipani Blooms I used a sponge for the Custard Color and a Paintbrush for the Antique Rose in the inside. I also tried my hand with the Distressed Gilded Foundry Wax from Tim Holtz on the Leafy Corner and Spring Blooms.

A sprinkle of Rose Gold Glitter, Flowers, Lace Flowers and some Fussy cut elements and the page was done.

From the Dusty Attic On-Line Shop I used the Following...
