Magical Moments - Adri Du Preez

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the blog today.

My December design team layout and the last layout for 2023 are filled with beautiful Dusty Attic Christmas chipboard pieces.

I hope your Christmas Day was everything you expected and more. I love everything about Christmas, especially the time that we spend together as a family.

I would like to wish everyone a very Happy New Year, full of love, light, and blessings!

This layout features my granddaughter Mila. She was only four months old when I took this photo and it was her first Christmas.

Here is my layout.

I started on the background using the Starry Night stencil with Ranger Distress Oxide in Picked Raspberry. On my layout, I glued jute and ric rac cut with my Silhouette as if wrapping a Christmas present.

All the chippies were first primed with a layer of white acrylic paint and then painted with Americana Acrylic paint.

I painted the title with Tuscan Red and the mini caption with Hauser Light Green.

What is a Christmas layout without stars? The stars were painted with Tuscan Red, Boysenberry Pink, and Hauser Light Green, and then lightly rubbed with gold glitter glue. I then covered all the stars with glossy accents.

The bow was painted with Boysenberry Pink and dry brushed with white acrylic paint.

The ornate and mini Christmas trees were painted with Hauser Light Green and dry brushed with white acrylic paint.

I dry brushed the houses with Slate Grey and the edges with Ranger Black Zoot. Some of the mini stars were glued around the houses.

The final touches to this layout included glitter, and splatters with diluted white gesso.

Joy to the World - Adri Du Preez

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the blog today.

My November design team layout features beautiful Dusty Attic Christmas chipboard pieces.

This layout features my granddaughter Mila.

I love using Wordpl@y on my layouts. They are one of my favourite additions to a layout.

All the chippies were first primed with a layer of white acrylic paint and then painted with Americana Acrylic paint.

The stars were painted with Tuscan Red, Green Lagoon, and Sour Apple. Once dry I covered them with glossy accents and sprinkled them with Ranger Stickles Fine Glitter in Christmas Red and Star Dust.

The title was painted with Tuscan Red and the mini captions with Green Lagoon then I dry brushed the edges with white acrylic paint.

What a cute Gnome and so much fun to paint! I painted the hat with Tuscan Red and the shirt with Green Lagoon. For the dungaree, I used a Posca Pen in Light Green. I painted the little nose with Dusty Rose and the edges of the white beard were dry-brushed with Slate Grey.

I painted the Christmas trees with Tuscan Red, Sour Apple, and Green Lagoon. For the dots on the Gnome's hat and the Christmas trees, I used a white Posca Pen.

I lightly painted the holly with Festive Green and Hauser Light Green making sure I didn't cover the veins of the hollies. The edges were dry brushed with white acrylic paint. The berries were painted with Tuscan Red. Once dry I covered them with glossy accents and sprinkled them with Ranger Stickles Fine Glitter in Christmas Red.

These Christmas Berries and the Holly Wreath were treated in the same manner as the red stars and the hollies.

The final touches to this layout included pearls, glitter, and splatters with diluted white gesso.

Freeze Frame - Patricia Basson

Hello Crafty Friends...

Today I am sharing my page using again this photo that is near to my Heart of me and the Girls for Dusty Attic's Design Team Post...

I used two sheets of 49 & Market's Plum Grove - Blossom papers as well as several other items, Coral Stitched Frame, some Ephemera Bits and Plum Grove Laser Cut Elements. From the Vintage Artistry Naturalist Bookplates pack I used three Match Book pages that I distressed, folded and layered to resemble a book. I placed foam tape between the pages, this gave me lovely space to add all my flowers and different bits and pieces.

This post has a bit of a photo overload, but I just could not choose which photo to keep and which to cut! Hope you do enjoy it nevertheless...

I used clear Gesso on all the Dusty Chipboard pieces to prepare them for adding product on them. The Vintage Frame and Fancy Trim were embossed with Turkish Nights Embossing Glitter from WOW...The color really suits the colors of the papers. On the sentiment and the Three little Hearts, I used some Distress Crackle Paint. I also added some random Rub-on on the paper sheets.

The Swirls, Leaves, Decorative Frame and Ribbon Banner were firstly sprayed with Pumice Stone Distress Oxide Spray from Tim Holtz. When dry, I sprayed some Distressed Spray Stain, also Pumice Stone, on them. The Freeze Frame Mini Caption was colored with White Gold Metallique Wax from Finnabair.

I am adding these two photos to show the depth of the Book Pages before I added all the elements

I hope you made it to the end and enjoyed the photo's as much as I enjoyed creating this page. All of these chipboards are available in the Dusty Attic On-line Shop.
