Happiness is a cup of coffee - Lynette Jacobs - Mood Board Inspiration

Lynette here, welcome to the blog today. I am sharing my take on the August mood board. I used a photo Kobus took of me while we were on vacation and enjoying coffee.  I am also using the Penelope Dee Fleure collection that is the perfect fit for the colour challenge.

The Mood Board:

Dusty Attic Products:

Coffee Bean stencil

Stamens

Coffee cup

Happiness is a cup of coffee

Some close up images:

 I prepared my background and then applied Distress Oxide Ground Espresso through the Coffee Bean Stencil to diagonal corners of the page.  I stamped and cut flowers and leaves onto matching cardstock and fussy cut it make embellishment clusters.

I dry brushed the title in white acrylic paint and then coloured it with Distress Oxide Victorian Velvet and Ground Espress.

I applied white acrylic paint to the stamens to complete the embellishment clusters.

I adore this "coffee cup" chipboard and I heat embossed it in Lindy's Byzantine Bronze embossing powder.

Love your Smile - Judith Tijsen - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello Everyone,

Today I can show you my inspiration post from this month's mood board.

What beautiful colors they are together.

This time I have again opted for a romantic creation. 

But that can't be any other way with these soft pastel colors.

I edited an MDF heart with structure paste, a light pink acrylic paint and a text stamp.

The cute picture is framed with one of my favorite Dusty Attic chipboards, Decorative Scroll #1.

I used the following Dusty Attic Chipboard:

DA0213 - Decorative Scroll #1

DA1876 - Flower Stamens

DA1834 - Mini Captions #11

This is the Moodboard for this month.

You could win one of two $50 AUD credits to the Dusty Attic online store. The only requirement is that you have Dusty Attic chipboard on your creation and enter your project on the Dusty FANattics Page.  

XXX Judith

 

Vintage Mixed Media panel - Pascale B - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a new mixed media panel. I worked with the colors of the June color combo. 

Here is the color combo.

I glued a piece of Fabric tape the whole length of the panel. Next, I tore a piece of paper which I glued on top of the fabric tape and washi tape on the side. I added some stitch washi tape on each corner. To finish, I added a design with paper paste and the Lace Stencil.

I primed all the chipboards with white gesso. When dry, I colored them with brown and black liquid acrylic paints. I wanted the ATC Frame #6, the Mini Suitcases, and the Flowers Stamens to be darker than the rest, so I didn't dilute the paints. For the Seedling and Wildflowers #5, I watered down the paints as well as for the Old coins.

I added white gold wax to the coins and vintage gold wax to the frame.  

When everything was glued. I colored lightly the design with the same paints. 

To finish, I add some Golden dragon paste and glitter.

Hummingbird - Pascale B - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a layout inspired by the pink colors of the October combo. This color combo was a true challenge for me as all my friends know that I'm not a pink person. Well, I remember this photo taken a few years back of a Hummingbird Hawk Moth. It's a butterfly with a very long trunk that allows it to forage on flowers hovering like hummingbirds. As you can imagine, they are very hard to photograph. 

Here's the colour combo for October

Before priming the background, I stamped randomly with black Archival ink and a text stamp. Next, I made a paste with 3D Gloss Gel, Cotton Candy Pink Magical, and pink glitter. I added a design with the Lace stencil using both White Gold Icing paste and the pink paste. 

I primed all the chipboards with white gesso. I embossed the Framed Journal Box with Silence is Golden EP. 

To color the other chipboards, I used liquid acrylic paints. For the Foliage #6 and the Laurel Sprigs, I used Burnt Sienna, Magenta, and Nude.  

I colored the Flower Stamens with the Nude acrylic paint. Finally, I used Nude and Burnt Sienna to paint the Designer Disc #10.

I glued all the chipboards with 3D Matte gel starting with the frame, then the leaves, the flower stamens, and pink flowers.

To finish the layout, I added glitters.
