This months gorgeous Mood board has amazing "Fall" tones, (even though it is Spring here in Australia) of greens, browns and oranges. 

Today inspiration is bought to us by 

JEN BURNS  

Hello everyone, today I am sharing my take on the Dusty Attic Moodboard challenge for the month of October. I couldn't go past this gorgeous photo of my beautiful grand daughter who even has daisies on her little jumper that match the board perfectly. 




I have used Maja Designs papers and started with monochrome Sienna, cutting a portion from the middle of the paper to use for the circle and using the darker shade as my background border. 
I have then trimmed the patterned "Don't worry" paper to 11.5 x 11.5 and machine sewn around the edges.


Next I have gathered some 49 and Market ephemera pieces like the doily, view finder, tags and frame from the Vintage Artistry Coral collection and added them underneath the circle composition which I have used foam tape under to give depth.


Next I started with my chipboard, painting the "happy" title, heraldry motif, large and small daisies all white. When dry I added the yellow middle to the daisies and Wink of Stella glitter to the title.



The botanic runner and botanic mix I have painted with green then sponged a darker green onto the edges/circles.



I have then adhered my photo down using foam tape behind that also. Adding the chipboard motif to the bottom and botanic runner to the top with a cute daisy in the middle.



 Using Salmon flowers I have constructed a floral cluster element on the right hand side weaving botanical mix and daisies throughout.

To finish off my page I have added some epoxy love hearts and butterfly bauble.

Wolf Queen Tag - Deb Stephens

Hello Everyone.

I'm here on the Dusty Attic blog to share my large Wolf Queen Mixed media Tag with you.

Wolf Queen Main

This project was done a large MDF 6x12' Tag and I wanted to challenge myself to use new colours, as I traditionally veer towards a grungy, steampunk look.

It was easier than I thought to create a whimsical/boho themed tag incorporating the Dusty attic stencils and chipboard with other mixed media products. I am my own worst enemy, as I overthink everything and am scared of ruining things. I convinced myself this time, that if the worst happened, I would gesso over everything and start again.

But the worst didn't happen. This project was easy to complete with so many beautiful chipboard designs to choose from like Dreamcatchers, Mini Feathers, Whimsical moons etc. I have listed all the Dusty Attic products used, below.
