Dreaming - Canvas - Anat Weksler

Hello dear friends,

It's Anat and I'm Back today with a mixed media canvas using Fabulous Dusty Attic's chipboards.

On the background I used a piece of paper and with the help of silver paste and Metalique waxes I've created similar texture as in the paper.

The chippies and other elements were colored with Impasto paints, Rust pastes, Effect paste and waxes.

Here are the chippies I have used here:

Mini-monarch-butterflies

Industrial-border #2

Window-shutters #3

Thanks for stopping by!

When you stop and look around... - Kerstin Filou

Hello creative friends!

Autumn has arrived and the leaves are slowly falling from the trees.

A wonderful season that inspired me to create a leaf whirl with punched out motifs and chipboards.

I selected the format 24 x 30 cm.

Tips & Tricks

Firstly I draw a curved line with a pencil, then I chose a wildflower stencil for the background.

Along the drawn lines now stamped with waterproof ink pad and matching autumn stamps (Stampers Anonymous)

Now I punched out a lot of leaves and branches, together with some matching chipboards and butterflies this resulted in a 3d living leaf whirl

Tags and Cards - Patricia Basson

Hi and Hello to all ...

Today I am back celebrating finally moving back into my craftroom again! I can honestly say that I have so much more respect to everyone working form a small kitchen table or corner in a room. Having a designated craft area is really such a privilege and I am planning on making the most of it for sure...

I have two Tags and two Cards using gorgeous Dusty Attic pieces to show today. Let's start with the Tags.

I used two giant Tags from Prima. On the background I painted with Raven Black Sparks Acrylic Paint which gave the lovely Silver / Black shimmer. The Broken Bits pieces I covered with Grey Rust effect Paste and a random touch of Antique Gold Mica mist from Nuvo.

For the Toadstool Border I mixed some vivid Orange paint from 13Arts with a tiny bit of Brown Sugar paint and used it on the top of the Toadstool. For the bottom part I used Green Grey Rust Effect Paste as well as some Vintage Beeswax Embossing Powder. On the Wood slices I used Brown Rust Paste.

The Seagrass, Wildgrass and Swirl Vine were painted with Brown Sugar Paint from 13Arts and Mission Bells Brown Spray from Lindy's Stampgang.

For decoration I added I'm A-Maized and A Penny Saved Prills.

For the Cards I layered several pieces of Cardstock. I created a background with white Crackle Paste colored with the new 13Arts Color Glows Fire Opal and Golden Calcite.

Whilst sorting and re-organizing my Dusty Attic chipboards I came across these Rose images...I am loving the simplicity of the Designs, so delicate as well.

I used Rose in Bloom and a Rose Stem. They were gesso'd and painted with Green Goblin and Stormy Ocean Sparks Paint from Finnabair. I cut the Delicate Frame #2 in half and embossed it with Shabby Green embossing powder from Stampendous. The pieces of Mini Foliage are Gesso'd and got a gentle rub of Aged Brass Metallique Wax.

Some Laces and a Shaker box filled with Glitter and Sequences finises the Cards.

All of these Chipboards are available from the Dusty On-line Shop.
