Owl - Pascale B - Mixed Media canvas

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a new mixed media canvas.

I covered the canvas with plaster, paper, and white crackle paste. When dry, I painted the background with liquid acrylicpaints.

I covered the Paisley #3 with Blue Opals Jewel paste and Midnight Sky paint. I added the the same combo to the Wildflower #6. I painted the leaves of the latest with Ochre Liquid paint.

I primed the Branch #4 and the Foliage#27 with white gesso before I painted them with Ochre and Ink Black liquid acrylic.

I added some gold and orange accents to the Paisley #3 with waxes, blue accent to the leaves of the Wildflower #6, and gold or orange accents to the other leaves.

I added a few flowers to the composition as well.

To finish, I added some Golden Dragon plaste and glitters.

Memories - Juliya Tirskaya

Hello dear friends!

Today i'm with a new Mixed Media Layout.

I made a page as a gift for my friend. This is her in the photo, and I just love this photo shoot!

I did a light multi-layer job. I raised part of the background by two layers of cardboard. The openwork chipboard helped create an atmosphere.

I painted the chipboard with Finnabair Matte Waxes. And then tinted with Metallque Waxes.

And the beautiful sprigs I put on the powder for embossing from Liny's.

These are the Dusty Attic chipboard pieces that I used:

Paisley #3

Skeleton Clock Faces

Tropical Foliage #1

Have a nice day,

True Beauty - Juliya Tirskaya

Hello dear friends!

Today i'm with a new Mixed Media Canvas.

I was so inspired by our January palette that I made another bright canvas. I chose ocher background color, with notes of red, green and lilac.
I emphasized the beautiful and my favorite Paisley #3chipboard design.
I put white powder on it for embossing and baked it. It turned out a contrasting background!

I broke the Spring Bloom #1 chipboard into small twigs, painted with paint and added to the composition.

I used Dusty Attic products:

Paisley #3

Spring Bloom #1

Mini Tabs #3

Have a nice day,

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.

The Good Life - Anat Weksler - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello Dusty Attic friends!

Anat here to share my August mood board challenge project.

44035713_10216517096341108_154288878973353984_o

This Moodboard is one of the most stunning Moodboards ever!! I love it so much I feel like making many projects with it LOL.

My Project is a Huge Clay Frame, made with a Silicone mould. In the center I inserted Embossed paper, embellished with gorgeous Dusy Attic's chippies. I prime it with Vlack Gesso and than painted it trying to give it the sunset colors. I took Impasto Paints and added to them 3D powder which gave them a sandy texture.

The chipboards were also painted with the same mixture of Impasto+3D powder. On the Mini Shells #2 I added a bit of Ivory Embossing Powder to imitate Sand.
