Provence canvas panel - Kerstin Filou - Mood Board inspiration


Welcome creative friends!


 Today a new inspiration for our amazing monthly Moodboard at Dusty Attic.
The colour combination was fits for me to
our summer garden.
 
I was inspired to create a wooden panel in Altered art.
 
It reminds me of the wonderfully fragrant blooming
 lavender in our garden, beautiful again every year.
 

 
 
 
I combined several cut outs from a suitable paper collection (Fabrica Decoru), added amazing chipboards, cutting dies, structures and  also natural dried organic materials.
 
Chipboards were primed with white gesso, and painted with purple acrylic paint or  even decorated with crackle varnish.

Day Dreamer - Adri Du Preez - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello everyone!

Here is my layout inspired by the stunning September mood board, and featuring 
Dusty Attic chipboard pieces. For this layout, I used the Ingenue paper from the 49 and 
Market Vintage Artistry Lilac collection.

This is my daughter during one of our many photo shoots a few years ago.

Here is the beautiful mood board.


and here is my layout.


 To create more detail on the background I randomly stamped with a Music stamp, then I primed the background with clear gesso.  To add more colour to the background, I used Distress Oxide in Salty Ocean, Wilted Violet, and Lindy's Tea Pot Purple. Then 
I glued Tim Holtz tissue paper, butterflies from a serviette, and Vintage Artistry Butter/Lilac and Sky/Navy rub-ons.



All the chippies were first covered in white gesso.

Unless otherwise stated, chipboard pieces are painted with Americana Acrylic paint.

The Music Hashtags words, mini scrolls, and ATC frame were heat embossed with white embossing powder.  For the title, I used the mini tab Day Dreamer. 

 I glue words onto my flower clusters by first gluing them onto acetate, and then applying transparent matte gel to them.



The flower clusters are made up of a variety of pretty blooms and die-cut foliage and flowers. 
I coloured the lavender with Plum and dry brushed it with Wild Orchid and white acrylic paint.
The Wildflower was painted with Whispering Turquoise and dry brushed with white acrylic paint.


How beautiful are these new Botanic Buttons?  I just love them!  They were 
coloured with  Whispering Turquoise, and Wild Orchid then dry brushed with white 
acrylic paint.


The Music Flourish and Music Notes were painted with Lamp Black.



Some close-ups.




The final touches to this layout included art beads, sequins, and splatters with diluted white gesso.

Escape Outdoors - Rikki G - Mood Board Inspiration

Good morning how are you? I am here to share with you the newest challenge for Dusty Attic Chipboard and I have to say its such a pretty mood board and the possibilities are endless. 



                        Especially when you want to do something that has multiple layers.... 



When you start a layout like that you really  need a big feature piece of chipboard  like the Botanical Rings #2. I have added some foam mount under this to give me more options when sticking my pattern papers down to the page.


So once I have my pattern paper flowers over the ring, some of those have multiple layers of foam tape others do not I can start adding my other ephemera pieces in a couple of clusters....



Now its about adding my chipboard elements starting off with the Daisies and Lavender sprays , they get positioned between the layers of flowers and ephemera.


Now your smaller chipboards can be added throughout the layout like the passport and compass.


The rainbow adds to the fun and whimsy of the layout and it teams up great with the Great Outdoors chipboard title.


Finish off the layout with paper flowers and even tiny resin ones.


I hope this has inspired you to play with all your chipboard elements....





Botanical Rings #2 Large




Daisies




Lavender #1

Blessed - Lynette Jacobs

Lynette here, welcome to the blog today.  I have the pleasure of sharing some inspiration for November.  I love to use photos that convey emotion and then create a page to give as a gift.  In this instance we were invited to the Dedication of a little girl and this photo where her big brother kisses her just tugged at my heart.  I used the beautiful Cocoa Vanilla Studio "More than Words" collection.

I used the following Dusty Attic products:




Some close up details:
There is nothing I love more than layers upon layers of papers combined with stitching.

I applied gesso through the criss-cross stencil and heat embossed the skeleton clock face in a grey.  The doily was added behind the photo to soften the layers.

The "Blessed" title was heat embossed in the same grey embossing powder as the skeleton clock.

I added some little grey flowers to my flower cluster the compliment the grey of the clock face and title.

The lavender sprigs were also heat embossed in white embossing powder and the final touch is the enamel dots sprinkled around the page.
