Treasure the little moments - Adri Du Preez - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the blog. Here is my layout inspired by the beautiful November mood board which features beautiful Dusty Attic chipboard pieces. 

Here is the mood board.

and here is my layout.

All the chippies, except for the bird nest, branch, wordplay, and barb wire frame, were first primed with a layer of white gesso and then painted with Americana Acrylic paint.

I only used a piece of the large barbed wire.  For the rust effect, I painted it with Burnt Umber, Georgia Clay, True Ochre, and Lamp Black.

The small branch and bird nest were painted with Burnt Umber and Arbor Green.

The Wordpl@y was inked with Tsukneko Pearlescent Chocolate ink.

I painted the foliage, wildflowers, and berries as follows :

Foliage #23 with Dusty Rose

Foliage #17 with Arbor Green and True Ochre

Wildflower #5 with Georgia Clay and True Ochre

Christmas Berries #1 with George Clay, True Ochre, Burnt Umber, and dapped with white acrylic paint.

I then cut all of them into pieces, and tucked them into the flower clusters.

 Hello Dusty FANattics

It's hard to believe we just under two months to the end of 2023! Here is my project for November:

The layout is made with Scrapboys papers and 49 and Market flowers. I tore the one paper and adhered it to the base paper. The photos were then matted with distressed papers, and adhered to the page with foam tape. I then used some letters from DA2390 (Jumbled Letters) - painted with white acrylic paint (dabbed on with a sponge), and tucked these under the photo matt as a feature.

The rest of the chipboard was also painted with white acrylic paint and when this was dry, lightly sponged over with a chalk brown paint. Once this was dry, I lightly brushed over the pieces with stickles.

I began first with my flower clusters - and added mini foliage (DA2786) among the layers of flowers. I add the shutters (DA2199) apart and lifted them.

I have also added botanical buttons (DA3316) and added the title Treasure the little moments (DA1606). I finished off adding some white splatters.

These are the products I have used:
