Memories - Michelle Van Oudsthoorn - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello lovelies

As I type my blog, it is a warm day here in Christchurch, New Zealand. We are meant to be heading into winter, but one wouldn't think so with the warm weather.

Today I am on the blog with my moodboard project. 

When I see brown tones, I always think masculine, and I am such a sucker for cogs and gears when it comes to masculine pages, so yes that is the route I followed, using a photo of my very gorgeous son:

I have used selected cogs and gears from DA2859 and D2860, nuts and bolts (DA2880) and have used the word memories from the title DA0732, as well as geometrical panel DA1037. These were all painted with black gesso before I started my page.

While these were drying I sanded my photo, and adhered two pieces of paper behind the photo for my matting. Once the chipboard was dry, I added prima waxes on all the chipboard pieces. Mostly in tones of gold, copper and silvery colours.

I first cut down the geometric panel and adhered this to the page before adding my photo.

I added the photo with foam tape to allow me to tuck in the cogs under the photo. I then started layering the cogs, nuts and bolts.

Creating layers with the nuts and bolts also looks like they are part of the industrial look I am trying to create.

I then finished off with the title - the title is packaged as "happy memories" - and I have made use of just the memories part.

I finished off with adding some ink splatters.

These are the products I have used:

Hello and welcome back to the blog!

Jo here and Im sharing with you my take on this months delicious moodboard.  Seriously another lovely moodboard.

And here is my layout

This was a challenge for me in that I don't usually use a dark patterned background but I fell in love with this paper collection from our friends at 49 and Market.

Which can also be purchased on the Dusty Attic website.

First a created a paper cluster for my photo and then tucked under the geo border which is inked and heat embossed in gold.  I added a chipboard doily and the ornate birdcage.  Both of this I inked with Card Deco ink.

Here are a couple of close ups

ATC Mood Board Inspiration - Anat Weksler

 Hello crafty friends!

Anat here today sharing a trio of ATC, entirely  made with Dusty Attic's Chipboards.

Dusty Attic has this large sheet of  ATC size frames, which I love!  I decided to use 3 of those frames as the base for my ATC set. Before painting them I attached behind pieces of the  small Geo Panel as a backround, and made a small cluster on top using a variety of chippies.

To match the October Moodboard I painted each one with several Impasto Paints  creating an Ombré effect. For highlighting the details I added White Gesso, dry brush layer, and for more texture a bit of gold microbeads.

Here are the wonderful chippies used in my Set:

DA2445 - Frame medley

DA2334 - Geo panel#3-small

DA2543 - Anchor#2

DA1042 - Seagulls

DA2288 - Mini shells#2

DA2598 - Birds#4

DA1952 - Industrial corners

Paw Prints on my Heart - Anat Weksler -Mood Board Inspiration

Hello crafty friends!

Today I'm sharing with you my take on the Beautiful and Tender February moodboard.

As soon as I started thinking about the project I knew I wanted to create something using  my Daughter's picture with Juice our Cat.

I started by adding Black sand Paste on my MDF hoop, next I've attached a Lace Fabric at the back of the hoop and adhered , on the fronte, part of the Geometric Panel, together with some Finnabair Art Pebbles and  Mechanicals Numbers. I covered everything with Black gesso.

Next step was to brush evrything with Finnabairs new Matte Waxes - Patina Blue, Old White and rub here and there a bit of Brushed Iron Metalique Wax.

DA 1037 - Geometric Panel

The Paw Prints on My Heart chipboard I covered with the Matte Wax Patina Blue and the  Paw Prints  chipboards with Rusty Red Matte wax.

DA 2409 - Paw Prints on My Heart

DA 2415 - Paw Prints-Dog

To color the amazing Entangled Heart I sprayed Lindy's Poinssetia Red Gold and than brushed a bit of Old White Matte Wax. The gorgeous effect of two tones happens due to the lazer design  on top of the chipboard - isn't it perfect?!

Da 1416 - Entangled Heart

Finnaly I rubed Brushe Iron Metalique Wax on the  Mystic Flourish.

DA 1747 - Mystic Flourish

To create the composition I added lace and some metal elemnts.

Hope I inspired you to create a project following our mood board  to join us!

Thanks for stopping by!
