never stop DREAMING - Rikki G - Mood Board Inspiration

 Good morning another new month means another amazing Dusty Attic Moodboard and what's not to love with this colour combo?

So are you going to give it a go?

#39/365

                                                                                      

To start off the layout I used the largest Flowering Vine and added foam tape so I could add the negative space of the photo underneath it. 

Then its all about adding fussy cut flowers over the top of it.

The next step is about adding that amazing Lacey Pendant Drops to the base of the photo and the vine you can just glue it straight on and it will look like its suspended over the top because of the height in the flowers...

Then you can add the Dandelions and daisies throughout the Vine and pendant.

Add your title.

Dont forget the amazing leaves as well.

To finish off the background of the layout add the brick wall and its frame....

To finish the layout off...... add some glitter of course. 

I hope this has inspired you to play along with this months moodboard.

The Beauty of Nature is all around - Patricia Basson - MoodBoard Inspiration

Hello Dusty friends...

Once again Autumn is creeping up on us here in South Africa! My favorite time of the year, going into winter which I absolutly love...I found this beautiful image on Pinterest and used it to create this lovely page as my Dusty Attic Moodboard project .

I used the following papers from 49 & Market, Clockworks from Scents of Nature as background and Wallflower from Vintage  Artistry. I kept the footnote from Clockworks as my title, could not let it go to waste. 

I punched a small circle in the center of my paper with a Marta Steward punch and did some hand-stitching on the page.

I Gesso'd the Flower Vine, I then covered it with Ancient Pink Glamor Paste from Stamperia. Then used some Red Amber wax from Finnabair in the center and Old White wax on the edges.

On the raw Lemon Leaves and Blooms I used White Gold and Graphite wax. 

The Oars and the tree stump of the Seagull I painted with Raw Umber and Raw Sienna Acrylic paints. I added Clear Rock Candy crackle paint from Ranger and when dry some Old White wax on the edges. The Seagull was coloured with some Graphite wax and black Distress Ink and Old White wax on the edge.

I embossed the raw Tea Leaves with Earthone Pepper Embossing Powder from WOW, sprayed some Saxifrage Olive Copper Spray from Lindy's Stampgang on the warm embossing and heat it again creating the lovely droplets effects!

Different flowers , A Penny Saved Prills and Henna Mica Flakes complete this page.

From the Dusty Attic On-line shop I used the following chipboard designs...

Thank you for taking the time to read my post...Till next time, Happy Crafting!

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,

There is a rapture on the lonely shore,

There is society, where none intrudes,

By the deep Sea, and music in its roar:

I love not Man the less, but Nature more...

Cherish - Lynette Jacobs

 Hi there,  welcome to this blog.

Lynette here. I am delighted to share my January 2021 design team project.  I loved the brand new flowering vine chipboard so much that I wanted to use it on my page. 

My children and grandchildren are my pride and joy.  This photo was taken shortly after my youngest grandson was born.

These are the chippies I used:

These are the chipboards I used:

Flowering Vine

Beaded Flourish #3

Love Cherish Adore

Stencil used:

Mini hearts stencil

I painted the Flowering Vine to match the Uniquely Creative Urban Garden Collection and heat embossed the title and the Beaded Flourish with silver embossing powder.

Some close ups:

I stencilled some hearts through the Mini Heart stencil with Distress Ink in Shaded Lilac.

I coloured my flowers with Color Bloom Spray Iris and Lindy's Gang Polka Purple.  I cut the beaded flourish in half to use in the two clusters.

I completed my page by adding silver Nuvo Crystal drops around the page.

I found some ancient Prima floral centers in my stash and they were a perfect match for this collection, so on the page they went.

If you listen to the wind........ - Tina Ollett - Moodboard Inspiration

Thankyou for returning here today. I have my interpretation of this month's moodboard.

I absolutely adore the colours of this moodboard and knew exactly what papers I would use. 

It was when I was going through the paper collection of Maja Design's new release "Miles Apart" that I came across a quote from the barcode strip of "Keep in touch", that I knew this was my starting point.

The quote reads:

"If you listen to the wind very carefully, you'll be able to hear me whisper my love for you".

Just beautiful don't you think? So I found my photo to work with this and went to work. I made lots of layers using torn papers from the Maja collection in the tones of the blues and apricot as in the moodboard below. I couldn't believe really how close these colours were.

They are as listed below.

Keep in touch "A"

"Keep in touch "B"

"Keeping Busy" "A"

"Keeping Busy" "B"

I did a little embossing in white around the outside of the background using a stitching stamp. I also added in some texture using white crackle paste and some random stamping in Archival Ink in Watering Can. The barstrip with the quote was cut up and distressed.

I used a number of gorgeous pieces of Dusty Chipboards some you will probably have to look very hard to see but they are there. For me it is all about the layers. So starting off once all my paper layers were down I added in the new release chipboard the "Flowering Vine". I have used the smaller vine from this pack. It was dressed in white crackle paste along with Inka Golds in the colours of mint and apricot.

Another of the new release pieces I used was the Foliage #26 packs. 

This was simply dressed with white gesso and a little Rust Paste from the Old Walls Rust Effect Pastes was used very randomly over it. 

Next I did a lot of layering using these three pieces of chipboards. 

the Juliette Balcony #3 , the Decorative Frame #4 and the Heart Swirly.

All three of these gorgeous pieces were dressed firstly in white crackle paste and then coloured with Rust Paste in Blue and inked with Ground Espresso Distress Ink. You will see how they were layered in the photos below. 

 

. 

And also a couple of other additions added in amongst my flower clusters are the Broken Bits 9 - Brick and some cut sections from the Wrought Iron fence. 

Oh and 1 of the gorgeous keys from the Vintage Keys set . 

Lots of lace and leaves with pretty flower pearls and muslin were also added in amongst these layers. 

Well that is all from me today. I do hope you have enjoyed this blogpost. I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very blessed and safe Christmas and New Year. 

Can't wait to see you all back here again next year. 

Thanks for calling by.
