Love - Patricia Basson - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello dear Blog Friends...

I think this Family photo fit the Dusty Attic Moodboard just perfectly! I teamed the Dusty Attic Chipboards with papers from the 49 & Market Vintage Artistry Collection as well as Flowers, Washi Tape and Rub-ons.

 

I used Red Blaze Gilding Flakes from Cosmic Shimmer on the Love Arrows and the Tropical Foliage Leaves. The Lacey Flowers are painted with Crackling Campfire and Speckled Egg Distress Paint and embossed with Speckled Egg Distress Embossing Glaze. 

I did some distressing, hand stitching and layering with paper strips on the top and bottom of the layout. I took the Title for the page from this 49 & Market Rub-on sheet. 

From the Dusty Attic On-line Shop I used the following Chipboard pieces...

Tropical Foliage #6

DA 2386

Lacey Flowers

DA 2639

Love Arrows

DA 3242

Handsome Boy - Deb Stephens - Mood Board Inspiration

This altered embroidery hoop was inspired by the February Mood board and came together with a lot of beautiful products including some the Naturalist 6x 8"collection Pack from 49 & Market, Die cuts, Paint and and Dusty Attic Chipboard and stencil.

The hoop was painted in shades of green and then gold embossing paste was applied through the stencil to the sides using the DA stencil called Scales. The hoop was then glued to a thick sheet of clear acetate after removing the protective film from one side and left to dry. The excess acetate was then trimmed from around the hoop with a trimmer and more gold embossing paste was stencilled onto it in various sections and left to dry.

Gesso was then applied to all the chipboard (except the black Mini Tabs) then painted and embossed. I used a selection of frames, mini tabs, mini foliage, love arrows for this. My favourite part is that there was not a lot of fussy cutting! I used dies to cut out more leaves of different sizes from the Vintage Artistry collection of paper along with their pop out elements and flowers.

I finished it off by building and adhering up the layers and adding bits of Tule and Sisal for added interest along with some 49 & Market Flowers. I removed the protective backing from the acetate from the back of the hoop and sat it on a clear stand for display. I love how the layout seems to "float" in the hoop (it's hard to take a photo because all backgrounds show through the acetate).

I hope the Mood Board inspires you to get out your craft stash and start creating again.

Day of Love chocolates and tag - Deb Stephens

Making handmade gift boxes, tags and cards has always been one of the parts of paper crafting that I have enjoyed. The latest LOVE chipboard collection from Duty Attic makes the process so much easier for the Day of Love!

A box and lid cut and assembled from cardstock from my stash, filled with chocolates and topped with painted chipboard. This is the perfect bite sized box that showcases the chipboard heart clusters, love arrows and the adorable Love gnome! I filled it with bite sized chocolates.

To go on top of the gift ( I cant put THAT picture here...Valentine's day is tomorrow and I don't want to give too much away to Himself) there is a medium sized tag.

This incorporates Texture paste applied through the Dusty Attic cracked stone stencil then stacked with painted and embossed Heart Attack pieces and their popped out shapes, along with some holographic thread. It's then finished off with a mini caption and a set of lips painted and glossed up!

I hope these little projects inspired you to create something for your loved ones. Happy Valentines day to you all!
