Awesome - Deb Stephens

Hi everyone! Have you enjoyed seeing all the wonderful creations this month by the Dusty Team? I know I have. But some days I just want to keep it simple and easy.

I didn't have any patterned paper on hand when I started the layout for these photos of my son with his Marvel Avengers Idol, Iron man. using a 12x12 black piece of cardstock and stencils DA1495 – cityscape and DA1763 – Starry Night
to start using texture paste and paint through for the background.

I then stamped some superhero themes speech bubbles and phrases around the page. Chipboard used was DA2858 Techno Circles- Small, DA2441 – stars #4 and sentiment DA0726- Anyone can be cool. These were embossed and filled with waxed crayon for contrast.

I was pleased with the end result, considering the limited paper options I had, proving you can complete a layout without having to buy out a shop (although, that is fun too right lol?)

Sugary Sweet card set - Ankarika Craft

  Hi there!

It's been a long time since I had an order for a children's card. The one I'm presenting today was ordered for a boy. I have been making twin cards for a long time. They always differ in something, often it is a mirror image of the composition. This time, you can also see a few minor differences. The second is made in reserve if ordered last minute. I like to have such projects up on my shelve, sooner or later there will be someone willing to buy it.

I have made a few cards with this cute teddy bear in the lead role so far. I like this die a lot, I bought it a long time ago and it has been serving me loyal for several years. The card is layered, in the colors of sky blue and white. The background is embossed with a 3D embossing folder from Sizzix, in addition I have highlighted the embossing with Finnabair wax. The edges of the individual layers were sewn on the machine and gently torn.

The teddy bear is die-cut three times, which makes it stiff and solid. He is holding a heart made of resin cast (Finnabair) in its paw. A month ago, I equipped myself with accessories for making castings, I bought the first few molds from Prima and, full of excitement, showed my struggles with the first casts on my IG on a regular basis. I encountered a few problems, but today I can easily say that I have mastered the topic and a whole drawer of beautiful casts waiting for my 5 minutes. The plane's screw is also such a cast.

The teddy bear is placed on the techno circles from the set from Dusty Attic and on this occasion I need to mention that this post is in cooperation with this fantastic cardboard producer. All chipboards in this design is secured with white gesso. The aforementioned circles, heart strings on the left side and the outline of clouds were additionally coloured with embossing powder. I additionally diversified the clouds with craft snow, which made them fluffy - you can see this process on my IG profile as a Reels - in few days.

A rainbow shimmers in the background of the teddy bear, and chipboard banner of stars is attached to the plane, shimmering beautifully with all possible colors thanks to the embossing powder. I also colored the words "Hello", "Birthday Wishes", "Sugary sweet" and "love your Smile". I put a seagull next to the clouds. I like delicate children's designs when they are finished. In the course of work, unfortunately I'm constantly tempted to grab some vintage paste... This is a real inner struggle, take my word for it!...

All Boy - Michelle Van Oudtshoorn

Hello Dusty Attic fans

We are truly into winter in New Zealand and this weekend past, we had torrential rain - a 1 in 100 year event - it's been quite horrific! I did manage to get some scrapbooking in - and created this layout for my June project:

This is one of my favourite photos of my son - who is now 28. I have used this photo a few times, but just love it! I have painted all my chipboard pieces with Prima Alchemy paint and then rubbed on Prima wax to give it different shades.

I used two different sizes of the Techno circles from DA2856 and DA2858, which I attached in from of and behind the photo, before placing these on the two clog clusters. 

I tucked the papers under the cluster clogs before sticking everything down. 

I have used industrial chains DA1938 and some gears by Nuneka DA2734. to make this feature in the corner, and used the chains on the main design.

I added a few other gears to the page.

The title was made up of letters from the alphabet set "fun times" DA2698. The letters were also painted with Prima Alchemy paint and then once dry, sanded on the edges of each letter before adhering these to the page.

These are products I have used:

Thanks for visiting the blog today,

Techno Heart - Anat Weksler - Mood Board Inspiration

 Hello craft friends!

It's Anat here and I'm back with my Moodboard inspired project.

Dusty Attic's March Moodboard inspired me to create this project which I'm calling Techno Heart. 

To create my project I first cut an heart out of  cardboard, next I've created a ressit effect with Lindy's Embossing Powder, Prima Stamps and a few Lindy's Sprays. 

I used 2 Techno circles to shape my heart, to do that I've  sprinkeld a bit of water on them and carefully  started bending it around my Heart. As soon as it got the shape I attached it to the heart. When dry I colored the bended techno chipboards with redish brown paint and added on top Brushed Amber Finnabair Jewel Paste.

DA2856 - Techno circles

All other chippies and metal elements were colored with different acrylic paints brushing on top Sparkling Onyx and Rose Quartz - Finnabair Jewel Pastes and a bit of metalique waxes.

Here are the gorgeous pieces I have used:

DA2860 - Industrial jumbo gears

DA2861 - Gear corners#1

DA2185 - Decorative hinge#1-small

DA1128 - Elegant swirl#8

DA2526 - Fancy trim#15
