Delicate Beauty - Heather Woodall

 Good morning all

I have been working on this altered book for some time now, but decided that it was time to get it finished.

I started with an old book and tore out sections of pages

I then covered pages and the cover (not all the cover, I wanted some of the original book to be seen) with 49 and Market papers from the Irrevocable Beauty range, which I love and have used multiple times.

I then added some photos thanks to google free photo selection.

I then added some fussy cut pieces and pieces from the Laser Cuts pack from the same paper range.

I then chose some chipboard to match. Some I've coloured with coloured pencil to give the layered effect. Other pieces I've just very simply used some good old Crayola textas to colour.

I have left some negative spaces, as I quite like negative space on my work, but it also leaves room if I ever want to come back and add some hand written journalling in the future

I am going to list all the chipboard here in one go to make it easier this time.

Precious memories - Patricia Basson

Good day friends here at the beginning of Autumn in South Africa. Trees are slowly starting to throw their leaves which are starting to change into my favorite Fall colours of Browns, Orange and Yellows. I just love this time of Year as it tends to enfold me with a sense of calmness and peace....Hence my DT page for Dusty Attic is done in these colours...

I have used papers from 49 & Market's Vintage Artistry in the Leaves collection.

As usual all my chipboards were primed with white Gesso. On the Corner Flourish I applied some Paper Paste to add dimension. I then painted with Buttermilk Acrylic paint from Deco Art as well as Cheddar Gloss spray from Dina Wakley and Peppermint Stick Distress Mica Stain. 

The Winter Corner was painted with Cappuccino Paint from Stamperia with a little darker Brown paint. I used Emerald Isle Infusion Powder mixed with water to paint the Acorn and highlighted the raised areas with some white Gesso. 

The Page Pebbles and Creative Scripts were also painted with the Cheddar Paint and Mica Stain. I also embossed them with two layers of Clear UTEE powder. 

The Quoted Sentiments got some of the Infusion ink on the edges with double UTEE embossing as well.

The Fancy Trim, Word Pack and Mini Words pieces are also painted with the above mentioned Paints but are not Embossed. 

I randomly added Crushed Ice Effect Paste to the page for a little sparkly effect!

All these and many more amazing Chipboards are available in the Dusty Attic on-line shop

Thank you, hope you enjoyed my page....

The year is a book, isn't it...? 

Spring's pages are written in Mayflowers and violets,

 summer's in roses, 

autumn's in red maple leaves,

and winter in holly and evergreen.

July 2021 - Mood Board reveal by Svetlana Sanochkina

 Hello FANattics

The middle of the year already, can you believe it? We had an EOFY (End of Financial year) sale while the boss was away teaching for 10 days in an amazing Store/Retreat centre in Bruce Rock called Country Papercraft, we hope you got the chance to order. Jennifer gets up and runs everyday and I would like to share some gorgeous photos of some frost she came across one very cold morning and some spiderwebs purely for artistic photography. (no spiders are present)

Some pretty cool photos ! Thanks Jen for getting up so early and capturing these xox. Cant wait to see her scrapbook them and share the finished layouts.
