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.

Love twin set of cards - Patricia Basson

Good Day dear Blog friends...

Due to health reasons I have been absent for a while...But today I want to share with you these two cards I made for Dusty Attic using paper from 49 & Market.

I did some Hand stitching on the top of the four layers. I also used a few 49 & Market Rub-on leaves. I made some splatters with diluted gel medium and embossed it with Speckled Egg Distress Embossing Glaze.

I painted the Dreamcatcher Designer Discs and the Branch and Berries with Cappuccino Paint from Stamperia and embossed them with Vintage Beeswax Baked Texture from Emerald Creek.

The Decorative Panel and Wrought Iron Fence were embossed with Chunky Rust Baked Texture and Steel Embossing Powder from Ranger.

Some flowers and Old Fashion Ribbons and two sentiments are the final touches to my cards...

I do hope you have enjoyed this short post and feel inspired to get creative with some of the gorgeous chipboard designs from the Dusty Attic On-line Shop...

Time is too slow for those who wait,

too swift for those who fear,

too long for those who grieve,

too short for those who rejoice,

but for those who love,

time is eternity.

Nothing is impossible - Patricia Basson

Hello again Dusty friends...

Today I am sharing a page created with the beautiful pieces at Dusty Attic. I used papers from two Bo-Bunny collections, Madeleleine Songbirds and Country Garden Letters.

After preparing my chipboard with a thin layer of Gesso, I painted the Foliage and Tropical leaves with a Light Green Acrylic paint. then dry brushed some Yellow and Orange paint onto them.

On the Berries from the Christmas Berries I added some Lava Paste from Cosmic Shimmer that I coloured with a little Orange paint. After heating it to pop, I added a little more Orange paint on the raised edges.

I did some stenciling with the Yellow and Orange paints as well as using different Rub-ones from 49&Market. Also added Yellow and Green Prills on the background.

The resin Window parts are coloured with Light Green paint and spritzed with Flickering Candle Distress Mica Stains from Tim Holtz. Also added touches of Ochre Matt Wax from Finnabair.

I used Valencia, Lemonade and Sunshine Lemon Alcohol Inks to colour a piece of acetate for the windows. The flowers are from Blue Fern Studios.
