Chantelle - Patricia Basson

This photo of Chantelle on her Matric Farewell just stays a favorite of mine to use on a page!

For this Dusty Attic page I used papers and add-ons from 49 & Market, Modern Romance from the Vintage Artistry Coral Collection. Also used pieces from the Collage Stacks, Stitched Frames and Roughly Sewn Rub-on. 

I used a stencil and some Embossing Paste on the background along with some Oakleaf Olive Embossing Powder from Lindy's Stampgang.

I cut small pieces out of the Skeleton Clock face to give a distressed look to it. I embossed it with Bubble Embossing Powder from Ranger and Earthtone Pepper Embossing Powder from WOW. I love the difference in texture that the two Powders bring on the Clockface!

The Ivy Corner was Gesso'd and randomly dabbed with some Distress Grit-paste from Tim Holtz. I painted it with Bundled Sage Distress Spray Stain also from Tim Holtz and Tawny Turquoise Moon Shadow mist from Lindy's Stampgang. I'm loving how the Walnut Stain in the mist reacts with the Grit-paste and the Turquois colour puddles on the chipboard.

The Toadstools and Indian Arrow also got some of the Grit-paste. I painted them using the Watercolor set from 13@rts. I used the Yellow, Amber, Browns, Green and Scarlet paints mixing and painting until I was satisfied with the look. I also rubbed on some Matt Waxes, Charcoal Black and Rusty Red. 

I dusted some Praline and Cream Fairy Dust Glitter on the page and elements.

The sentiment was lightly Gosso'd and painted with the two Sprays. A little Charcoal Wax was rubbed on the edges as well.

Flowers, leaves and a few die-cut leaves were added to finish of the page....

From the Dusty Attic on-line shop I used the following pieces...

Indian Arrow # 1

DA 1355

Toadstool # 2

DA 2384

Ivy Corner # 2

Stay well and stay creating...

We are all grown-up children, really.

 Our lives are made up 

of childhood and adulthood, 

all together.

 So one should go back 

in search of what was loved

 and found to be real.

Hi, dear friends!

Our April moodboard inspired me to make a layout for my husband. He was ill the previous month and I wanted to support him.

Here is the moodboard:

In this layout I wanted to depict our trip to Saint Petersburg last summer. It was light, and I took a lot of notes. So one day we found a street where all the walls were decorated by very beautiful mosaic.

All these souvenirs I transfered to the layout with the help of the chippies. I used Indian Arrow #1 and Feather Charmes #3 to show the lightness of our journey.

As I wrote all the activities we made and all the sights we saw I used Creative Script. I am sure that this chipboard is absolutely universal for all kinds of project.

I decorated all the chippies in the project with liquid acrylic and embossing powders creating the effect of a rust texture. I can't help using this effect in a man-kind of project.

At last I added a small label to draw attention to the photo: Mini tabs #4. I love using different signs especially in the layouts.

These are the Dusty Attic chipboard pieces that I have used:

Creative Script

Feather Charms #3

Indian Arrow #1

Mini Tabs #4

I hope you find some time to play along with this beautiful mood board.

Happy crafting!
