Summer Memories Album - Kerstin Filou

 

Hello everyone!

 

  I  created a sea inspired mini album as memory on beautiful relaxed days.

 It has been equipped with many flaps, pockets and other storage possibilities to keep nice mementos. 

At Dusty Attic I found a lot of small special chipboards that fit perfectly to the sea theme.

 I used them as photo frames, to attach flaps (anchors) and as eye-catchers for decoration.

Beach Life - Adri Du Preez - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the blog. Here is my layout inspired by the beautiful August mood board which features beautiful Dusty Attic nautical chipboard pieces. 

This is my daughter and grandson having fun on the beach.

Here is the mood board.

and here is my layout.

All the chippies were primed with white gesso.

I used DecorArt Americana Acrylic Paint on all the chipboard pieces.

The ship wheel and anchor were painted with Americana Acrylic Paint in Traditional Burnt Umber, True Ochre and I dry brushed with white gesso

I painted the edges of the Old Wooden Fence, title, Wordpl@y, seagulls, lighthouse, mini skeleton fish, and driftwood in Slate Grey and Grey Storm. I inked the edges with Traditional Burnt Amber. 

The Mini Seagulls were painted Slate Grey.  The Seahorses were painted Bahama Blue and Traditional Burnt Amber.

I painted the Starfish and Mini Shells Slate Grey and dry brushed it with white acrylic paint.

The urchin shells were painted Plantation Pine, Sour Apple, True Ochre, and white acrylic paint

I painted the mini jellyfish and crabs in True Ochre, Bahama Blue, and Georgia Clay and dry brushed with white acrylic paint.

I painted the Ocean Elements Hauser Light Green and Bahama Blue.

Seaweed #1 was painted True Ochre, Bahama Blue, and Georgia Clay and dry brushed with white acrylic paint, and Seaweed #4 was painted Hauser Light Green and Bahama Blue.

After everything glued down I added art stones and splatters with diluted white gesso.

What a View - Kerstin Filou

 

Welcome creative friends!

Today a new inspiration, it's a sea inspired frame. I have used a wooden frame as a base and added in the background some fabric leftovers, also remnants of an old favorite jeans 

 

Suitable Maritime chipboards were primed with white gesso and afterwards coloured with silver acrylic paint. Anchor got an extra texture layer, where I used fine deco sand.

These are treasured memories - Michelle Van Oudtshoorn

Hello from a chilly New Zealand

Hope you are all doing well - it has been a little cold here, winter is definitely creeping in. Perfect weather for staying indoors, keeping warm and scrapbooking. There is still time to enter the Dusty Attic moodboard challenge and your chance to win one of two AUD50 vouchers to use on Dusty Attic chipboard. Post your entry to the DustyFANattics facebook page under the moodboard post, using the moodboard and dusty attic chipboard for your project.

I have gone with the sea theme and created this layout

I have used a Mintay paper and cut out elements to make up my page. First paint all the chipboard (except the distressed frames DA2672), with either white acrylic paint or white gesso. When this is dry, edge the pieces with a dark blue ink stamp pad. I then lightly sanded each of the pieces. 

Cut the photo to fit the 4 x 4" frame. Frame is painted with blue metallic paint. Adhere the frame to the photo, then add the photo matt and then the outside frame to the page using foam tape.

I then added the one  piece foliage #15 DA2234 next to the photo, then added the ships helm and then adding the other piece of foliage. Layer the mini fish (DA2774), mason jar (DA1364) and mini shells (DA2267) around the cluster with the cut out boat.

I then added the title "These are treasured memories" (DA1842). I then splattered white paint over the page and added sequins to finish off.

These are the products I have used:

Take care,

Michelle
