Normal - Belinda Spencer - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello Dusty Attic fans!!

It's Belinda here today to share my layout inspired by the January mood board featuring a mix of new and older chipboard and products.

'Normal'

For this layout, I started by adding some colour to my white cardstock background using a Lindy's Stamp Gang spray. I then added some stencilling using the Distressed Grid Stencil and some heavy white gesso. Once that was dry, I added some more stencilling using the Confetti Stencil with Faded Denim Dusty In Colour Paint.

Here's a reminder of the gorgeous mood board:

While I had the paints out, I painted everything with the heavy white gesso. I gave it all about three coats as is my standard operating procedure. I kept some of the chipboard white and painted the others with the Faded Denim paint.

I added the face mask chipboard to a cute face embellishment to represent my daughter and myself in the photo.

I layered the matching patterned papers and chipboard pieces behind the photo.

I love the new Impact ABC Set to make a statement and create a bold title on the page.

Adore - Michelle Van Oudtshoorn - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello friends

I am back on the blog for this month with a layout created with Dusty Attics January moodboard.

These are such beautiful colours and I love the blue/teal and orange hues. Here is my layout inspired by these colours:

I started with the Get Framed Postage rectangular frame set first (DA2675) - and using the outer edge that holds the postage frames together, coloured this with the Art Alchemy Metallique wax. There are three frames in the set, and I have used the largest frame with my photo. This was first embossed using mixed media powder sea colour and then brushed over with Art Alchemy wax. The same was done to the Mystic Flourishes (DA1747) and two pieces used from the feathers by Nuneka DA2733

I started first with layering the frames and then layering the flowers.

The titles "love" and "delightful" from DA1645 were lightly brushed over with wax so as not to fill up the letters and then stuck to the flower cluster and the top corner arrangement.

Adore is one title from a pack of lovely titles to choose from DA2544.

Hello Sweetness - Belinda Spencer

Hello Dusty Attic Fans!

It's Belinda with you today to share my latest layout featuring awesome Dusty Attic chipboard.

Hello Sweetness

For this layout I have used the stunning Bee Arty paper collection 'Forever My Always' designed by the uber talented Fiona Paltridge. I loved the sparkly gold background paper that perfectly matched my darling daughter's hair.

The gold background then inspired me to 'paint' my chipboard pieces gold. When I say paint I mean I used a Pilot Pintor Paint Pen in Gold to basically colour over the chipboard. Why get messy paintbrushes and water jars etc out when you can use a simple pen right?! No cleaning up afterwards!

Oh and how good are those Get Framed Postage Stamp frames?? I LOVE them.

You can have too much gold (said no one EVER!!) so I used my obligatory white Posca Paint Pen to colour the mini tab and the banner and break up all of the in your face colour a bit.
