Happy - Michelle Van Oudtshoorn - Mood Board inspiration

Hello DustFANattics

I have a layout created using the first moodboard challenge for 2023. 

I have used a mixture of 49 and Market products to create the layout.

I have painted some of the heart stems (DA3260) and the title "happy" (DA2444) with an orange acrylic paint. I painted the designer discs #5 (DA2212) and the rosemary leaves (DA1713) with a olive green acrylic paint.

I started with matting my photo and adhering this to the page with foam tape (I actually use left over chipboard pieces) to the centre behind the photo so I was able to tuck the flowers and the discs behind this.

I have used the large disc and the small disc for the left cluster and then added laser cut elements, and some of the rosemary leaves and some of the heart stems in among the cluster.

The little hearts are out of the centres of the stemmed hearts - which I have painted in olive green and added as a feature to the right of the photo.

I finished off adding the title "happy" and the some wishing bubbles and baubles.

These are the products I have used:

Hello Dusty Attic fans

And just like that ..... it's June! Is it just me, or does time seem to be going faster and faster? I am back on the blog with a new project for Dusty Attic.

I first layered and matted my photo, and adhered to my page with foam tape - only to the centre of matting, so I was able to tuck in flowers and chipboard. The panel grid (DA2373) was painted with orange chalk paint and then cut in half adding one piece to the right of the photo matt, and the other to the top left of the photo matt.

I then added flower die cuts and flowers to each side to make up the clusters. Once these were done I added the heart stems (DA3260) chipboard - painted first with white and brushed over with a light green. 

The title "Always Find Time for the Things in Life that Make You Happy" (DA1458) is painted with a darker green paint. Once this was dry, I adhered this to my page and then added Glossy Accents to give the title dimension. 

I finished off adding 49 and Market's Curators Essential stitched washi tape and some bling.

These are the Dusty Attic pieces I have used:
