Provence canvas panel - Kerstin Filou - Mood Board inspiration

Welcome creative friends!

Today a new inspiration for our amazing monthly Moodboard at Dusty Attic.

The colour combination was fits for me to

our summer garden.

I was inspired to create a wooden panel in Altered art.

It reminds me of the wonderfully fragrant blooming

lavender in our garden, beautiful again every year.

I combined several cut outs from a suitable paper collection (Fabrica Decoru), added amazing chipboards, cutting dies, structures and also natural dried organic materials.

Chipboards were primed with white gesso, and painted with purple acrylic paint or even decorated with crackle varnish.

I hope you find inspiration!

Thanks for stopping by...until next time!

Hi, friends! When summer comes it's always time for our citizens to move to the country side. And my relatives do the same. So I decided to congratulate them with two cards :)

Chicken Coup - Kerstin Filou - Mood Board Inspiration

Welcome creative friends!

Now it's my turn to feature a mixed media canvas using the beautiful Dusty Attic Moodboard for March.

Love all the warm colours of a stunning sunset.

All the shades of brown and yellow inspired me to create a country life canvas with a lot of structures in rustic style.

some close up's

I built a small chicken coop and put a roof on it, which was made from some leftover pieces of chipboard

some birch bark was glued to the roof

behind the cock I used the magnificent Wagon Wheels, a cog and a feather they were decorated with some texture paste, black gesso and after drying with silver wax Feather was created with white embossing powder

down on THE FARM - Adri Du Preez

Hello everyone!

I am sharing my February design team project with you. My layout is filled with so many wonderful elements. Die cuts, flowers and of course Dusty Attic chippies. My daughter and her husband visited family in Ireland last year April. They visited a Pet Farm in Dingle where you get to pet and feed sheep and goats. They took the most amazing photos especially for me, I think.

Here is my layout.

This is how I treated the chippies.

The wagon wheels, driftwood and chicken wire were painted with brown and black acrylic paint and dry brushed with white acrylic paint. I snipped the chicken wire into pieces and tucked them under the flowers. The wood slices were dry brushed with brown, white and green acrylic paint.
