Timeless Beauty - Michelle Van Oudtshoorn - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello lovelies.

I am back on the blog today with a layout inspired off the September moodboard. And it is such a beautiful moodboard - aligns very well with the spring month here in the Southern Hemisphere!

Here is the layout I have created using the colours

This is a layout created using Uniquely Creative paper ... and a photo of my beautiful daughter (not that I am being biased .....)

I have printed the photo with a border and adhered this to the paper with a foam tape in the centre of the photo. This has allowed me to add the chipboard pieces under the photo.

I have used a dark teal/green acrylic paint for all my chipboard pieces - sponged directly onto all of the pieces. The Scroll Border (DA3433) has been cut up to allow it to be used as several pieces. This a great way to get more use out of single pieces.

I have added some fussy cut flowers and then created extra dimension with the Mini Heart Buttons (DA3430) and a Butterfly (DA3335).

I then added the title Timeless Beauty (DA2667) and some words (DA1645) to finish off the layout.

You can use the September moodboard for inspiration, and create a project using Dusty Attic chipboard to the Dusty FANattics Facebook page - and you could be in line to win one of 2 AUD50 worth of gorgeous chipboard! Why not give it a go?

Here are the products I have used on my page:

Hugs,

Me time - Patricia Basson - Mood Board Inspiration

Good Day friends...

Here in South Africa March heralds the Autumn season bringing cooler weather and that lovely grey, misty mysterious feeling in the air. The ideal mood for this month stunning and challenging Dusty Attic Moodboard.

I used papers from 13Arts for this Layout. Ray of Dark from the His and Hers Remastered Collection for the background and Forever with You from In love.

I added color to the background by firstly spraying some Black Orchid Silver Spray from Lindy's Stampgang onto the paper that was sealed with clear Gesso. I manipulated the ink with my Heatgun to

form the puddles resulting in interesting lines of inks and Micas. I also used the Heart Stencil with three different pastes scrapped through it. From Studio 490 Wendy Vecchi, Black and Metallic Silver and Marcasite Silver from The Crafters Workshop. As often happens, some of the lovely texture got hidden behind a flower cluster but at least I know it's there and loved achieving it.

The Resin frame really gave me some headaches! I painted it put it in place and it did not look good. Casted another one, tried to get it as white as possible and glued it in place, just to decide after looking at it from afar the next day that it just does not add any balance to the composition! So, bring out the darker one again, repaint it and voila! it worked... It was painted (amongst other things) with Raven Black Sparks from Art Alchemy and Ink Black Liquid Acrylic. Some Old White Matt Wax and White Glitter was added to the frame as well as the Rose Resin pieces.

I embossed the Iron Garnish and some of the Pine Twigs with my all time favorite Aged Black Embossing Enamel from Stampendous. Just LUV the amazing effect it gives to my chipboard elements...all the Black, Gold and Silver specks, so much detail. I glued down only the ends of the Iron Garnish, allowing me to add my flowers and other elements underneath it. The other Pine Twigs were embossed with Queen Sheba's Silver from Lindy's. I painted the stems of the Christmas Berries with the Raven Black Sparks and the Berries with some white paint. I added Icicle Crackle paste on the Berries for a subtle texture.

The Title and Ribbon Banner were gesso'd. I then used some Grey and Black ink pads on the Title as well as some Clear embossing powder. On the Banner I used two layers of UTEE, I stamped with some black Archival Ink and heat the Embossing again for the ink to flow and give a marbled effect.

I splattered with Black Splash ink from 13Arts, added some white half Pearls as well as Onyx Black Chunky Glitter to finish my page.

That my friends is my take then on the March Moodboard...Have You entered yet...?
