Mini Metal Boxes - Anat Weksler - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello friends!

It's Anat here. I'm back today with my Moodboard inspired project - a duo of mini metal boxes.

Isn't this Moodboard gorgeous and absolutely inspiring?! I love these shades of Blue together and the seashells just wow! So I grabbed some beautiful chippies, sprayed them with different Lindy's Sprays and Rubbed with Finnabair's waxes.

On the lid I adhered Papers I'm obsesed with (LOL) from Mixed Media Craft O'clock.

If you're inspired by this, it is still time to join the challenge and maybe win a prize.

The chipboards I've used:

Thanks for stopping by!

Mischief - Lynette Jacobs - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello Dusty Attic Fans!

Lynette here, welcome to the blog today. I am sharing my take on the January mood board. The mood board just shouts beach and I used a funny photo of my husband and grandson taken on a walking trail at Robberg Nature reserve in Plettenburg Bay.

Here is the mood board:

Chipboard pieces used to complete the page:

Some close up details:

I used white cardstock and applied some Weathered Wood Distress Ink through a stencil to break the white background. I then cut apart a sheet of patterned paper with slats and threaded twine through it to create the image of a board walk. I painted the tropical foliage with a green to match the leaves in the fussy cut images.

I used foam tape and layered the fussy cut images for dimension.

The title was heat embossed with Navy blue embossing powder.

The mini skeleton fish and compass was dry brushed with white acrylic paint.

Here I also used lots of foam dots to create dimension and layered the painted chipboard pieces between the fussy cut pieces.

I brought in more of the dark blue by adding Nuvo Crystal drops to the clusters.

I just love all the dimension...the fussy cutting was so worth the time it took.

We would love to see your take on our moodboard. Don't forget to share your projects on our Facebook page.

Never Stop Exploring - Lynette Jacobs - Mood Board Inspiration

Lynette here, welcome to the blog today. Today I am sharing my take on the February 2021 moodboard. It reminds me of my favourite place...the ocean.

Here is the page that was inspired by the moodboard.

I wanted this page to have a mixed media background that mimics splashes and I achieved that using light moulding paste coloured with Distress Oxide ink in Broken China and Dusty Concord. I also used a lot of paper layers and fussy cut elements.

Here is the moodboard:

Some close up images:

I prepped the chipboard pieces with gesso and then dressed it in different ways. The little starfish, mini shells and ships wheel was coated with metallic waxes in Bronze Age, Rich Copper and Emerald.
