Gnomes Garden Tag - Pascale B Scrap

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a tag. 


I selected a medium size tag from the Tag Medley set. I've primed the tag with white gesso before adding some designs to the background. I used the River Stone stencil with the Graphite paste to add the first design like a small path. Then, I added the second design with the Flourish stencil and light modeling paste. When dry, I painted the background with black and brown for the path, and green for the forest background.
I primed all the chipboards I've selected with white gesso as well. Then, I painted them with different acrylic paints.


The Gnome was painted with carmin, brown and black paint. I used brown and black paints to color the small Fairy Door #1 and black and white for the stone. 


For the Grass Cluster #1, I used green and purple. I added a touch of Unicorn paste to add some fun.


I paint the head of the Toadstool Border with carmin and the grass with green paints.


When everything was to my taste, I glued everything together.

Winter - Pascale B

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a new layout. I wanted to work in the tones of the photo, that is to say in shades of grey. I just added some gold to add some interest.


As usual, I primed the background with clear gesso. Next, I added a design with a stencil and the Crushed Ice effect paste. When dry, I added some white liquid acrylic to mimic the snow. 


I decided to work mostly with waxes and metallic flakes to alter the chipboards. I used the gold metallic flakes to cover the berries from the Holiday Spray and the Christmas Berries #1. To alter the Small Snowflakes #1, I used silver metallic flakes.


I colored the leaves of the Holly #4 with Graphite and the berries with Vintage Gold waxes. For the Holiday Spray, I used the Charcoal one which is the darkest color. I painted the Mistletoe #2 berries with white paint and the leaves with Old Silver. 


I used different waxes to colour the gnomes' clothes and the white Imposto for the beards. 


To finish the layout, I added some silver and gold glitters.

There's no place like gnome - Patricia Basson

Hi and Hello to all...
Today I am sharing a fun little project for the September Moodboard Challenge at Dusty Attic
Using four different sizes from the Tag Medley sheet, I created this wall Hanging with the cutest little Gnomes!

 



















Although there is a lot going on on the Tags, the treatment of the chipboard is not that complicated. I covered the Tags with two papers from 49 & Market's Vintage Artistry Essentials collection, Savor and Essence. I inked the edges with Potting Soil Archival Ink ~lol, no that was not purposely, totally coincidentally~, and Vintage Antiquing Paste from Stamperia.

I gesso'd all the Chipboards. On the Vase, Juliette Balcony and Inside piece of the Brick Window, I applied white cackling paste. Once it was dried and crackled I panted them with Ivory and Cappuccino Allegro Paint also from Stamperia. I once again used the Antiquing Paste to bring out the cracks and add an aging effect to the pieces.
 





 
I painted some Antiquing Paste onto the raw  Bicycle Chain chipboard. I glued a piece of acetate to the back of the windows and colored it with Cappuccino Glitter Accents and Rose Gold Metallic Alloy Alcohol inks from Couture Creations.





The Grasses and Mini Foliage were all painted with Ivory, Cappuccino and Earth Paints. I also embossed them with an Irredesant Sparkle embossing powder. The gorgeous Moon was covered with Gold River Leafing from Mont Marte...Just love how beautiful it looks!
The two adorable Gnomes were painted using a Watercolor set from 13@rts. 
I sadly did not take a side view photo to show all the layering that was done! Even the Beards of the Gnomes are layered. 
I added Flowers, Rub-on Transfers and Wishing Bubbles and Trinkets from Vintage Artistry Essentials as well.




Please have a look at the Dusty Attic On-line shop for all of these and many more, and do take part in the monthly Moodboard Challenge here on the Dusty FANattics Facebook page.
















Thank you for your Visit, Happy Crafting...

Far away in the land of "If and Perhaps"
The city of "Make-Believe" lies,
With its wonderful, beautiful towers and domes
And turrets that reach the skies;
'Tis peopled by fairies, pixies, and gnomes,
And nobles and ladies fair,
And the poorest gamin that walks the streets
Is a prince if he enters there...
~Cynthia M. McCague~

a little DIRT never hurt - Lynette Jacobs

Lynette here, welcome to the blog today.  I have the pleasure of sharing some inspiration for August.  I used some photos of my youngest grandson playing in the dirt in the garden.  I love all the expressions in his little face...he has so much personality.  I used patterned papers from the Heidi Swapp Carefree collection.


Chipboard used on this page:






Some close up details:
I love the earthy tones of the Heidi Swapp Carefree collection.  They compliment these photos perfectly.  I heat embossed the main title with copper embossing powder.

These little gnomes are just darling...I painted them with acrylic paint...the gnome sentiments are just perfect too.  I used a Sizzix leaf die to add extra colour behind the gnome.

I heat embossed the chain rectangle in copper to showcase the photo where Eben pulls his face.  He has so many expressions.

I added another little gnome to the left side of the photos.  The label was added to give some separation from the background.

The trowel and bucket was also painted with acrylic paint.  I added the leaf dies and gnome sentiments to all three clusters for continuity.

There is really gnome one like him. ♥

I am really very happy with the way this page came together.
