Slimline Card Set - Joanne Simons

Hello and welcome!  I hope you are well.

Today I am sharing a couple of cards I created.

I am really enjoying the whole slimline card craze at the moment and with the beautiful Dusty chippy they make creating a breeze!

These cards were super easy to do.  I simply layered some paper on a white card base and then laid some flowers onto the medallions #1.  All the chipboard I covered with distress oxide ink.  Before I adhered it to my card I tucked in some of the gingko biloba.  I finished it with a sweet sentiment from a of different word packs.

Here is a closer look at the card.

My second card I created in pretty much the same way. Instead this time I added  foliage 24 and one of the ATC frames #8.

Card Set - Joanne Simons

Hello and welcome Dusty FANattics!

It's Jo here with you today to share with you a couple of cards  I have created.

I have been really enjoying making cards lately and have been gravitating to the DL size ones.

I tried something a little different and had a go at "getting my grunge" on.

For my first card I used some rust effects paste to give my Industrial border some texture.

The Marakesh broken bits I heat embossed with an embossing powder that had a little bit of glitter in for a textured look too.

For the medallion in the middle which my butterfly sits on - I also heat embossed this to give i a bit of a glossy look then went over it with some Prima wax to make it look a little like metal.

For my second card I used the industrial pipes and rubbed some black ink in spots of the chipboard.  Again I used the rust effects paste for the cogs and some embossing folder for the fishing net .

The papers are from Scrapboys collection called Industrial Romance.

Hello everyone!

I hope that you are doing well! Today, I'm sharing a layout using some chippies.

I took my favorite color that I love to create with : purple. 

On the background of my layout, I cut a big frame : Ornate Circle #2. 

I cut it and embossed it with white embossing powder.

I used a little anchor from the set : Anchor #2. I also embossed it with white embossing powder. And I put a title from the Mini Titles #2 – Perfect.

 I added a quote, I love the Dusty Attic's quotes, they are so perfect for any projects. 

This one is from the Quoted Sentiments #4. And behind from my photo, 

I used a little medallion : Medallion #2.

And a last close-up :

There was an enchanting flower parade, where people danced happily through the streets. 

A sea of colours, shapes and scents, simply unforgettably beautiful.

bouquets to

Breathtaking - Kristy Abela

Hey Hey Attic Lovers!

Welcome back!!

I have a new Layout this month. I have had this image for a while and I really wanted to find something to capture the wonder. Well,  thanks to some Chipboard designed by the lovely Jennifer at Dusty Attic I could finally do it justice.

I was really naughty this month and I was so caught up in the project...

 I forgot to take progress shots. I will make it up to you.. Promise!

I used every product under the sun playing with my Chip board and stencil. Each one has been decorated differently. 

I find that it creates a lot of interest and keeps drawing my eye back to look for more. Shows how versatile chip board really is. 

To start I used my Damask stencil to lift the background with some shimmery paste. While that was drying, I used my chalk paints for Breathtaking and my Monarch Butterfly applying them with a sponge. On the butterfly I added layer upon layer to create a fade and then dazzled them with a little wax.

For my Tea Leaves I used the chalk paint as a base and used my (sadly discontinued) Dusty Crackle Glaze to finish them off. I did this in another project called Brotherly Love and fell in love with the effect. You can check it out by following the link.

I used gilding flakes on the Medallions in a gorgeous Verdi Gris.

The beautiful Paisley Flourishes (So Boho) were done in a metallic paint. I was sure to not apply it smoothly as I really wanted some texture in there so I could highlight them with my Waxes.. (Again)

I finished it off with some Flowers in Bloom, Sisal and some of my (newest) favourite boho mandala stamps.

Together Forever - Anat Weksler

Hello crafty friends!

Anat here today with a special project - a Heart decor with my parents picture.

Last month my parents celebrated their marriage anniversary so I've created this Heart for them, using a picture I love.

For the Background I used tissue paper, covered it with soft gel and colored using  Red and Dark Brown Acohol Inks. I added texture with texture paste and stencil  and when dry brushed it with metalique waxes.

I painted the  Medallion#2 the Ornate Pendants #3  and the Metalique flowers with Finnabair Metalique Brass Hardware acrylic paint. 

The Foliage #15 and Corner Flourish #2 were painted  with  Powder  Blue from  Finnabair Nrothern Light Rust Paste Set and Bronze Age wax was gently rubbed on it.

DA 2382 - Medallion#2

DA 1366 - Ornate Pendants #3

DA 2234 - Foliage #15

DA 0629 - Corner Flourish #2

Fot my parents picture I covered the ATC Frame #7 with the Turquoise from  Finnabair Nrothern Light Rust Paste Set and used on top Stampendous Aged Green Embossing Powder.

DA 1525 - ATC Frame #7

After I assembled all chipboard I added 49 & Market flowers and  Finnabair Gold Microbeads and Finnabair Copper Glass Glitter.  I Added small cabuchons colored with alcohol ink.

Last step was to color the "Happy together" from Wordpl@y #4  set, with Lindy's Shabby Turbine Teal Spray and rubb Bronze Age wax.
