Easel Card and Tag - Deb Stephens - Mood Board Inspiration

Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year. The traditional colours always appeal so I decided to make an Easel Card and matching Tag using some classic Dusty Attic Chipboard that matches the Mood Board for this month.

The large wood frame was painted and layered up with Pine sprigs, Christmas Berries and mini Pinecones, Mini Holly, along with the classic Black Christmas Labels.

This was all finished off with some traditional Christmas flowers and some snow texture paste.

The Gift Tag was painted and embossing paste and powder was applied through the Wood Panel Stencil. The Pine sprigs, Berries and Mini Holy was used again along with the Black Labels.

There is a short YouTube video tutorial on my Chanel showing you how I made both of these.

Magic Frost Flowers - Kerstin Filou - Mood Board Inspiration

Welcome creative friends!

Our monthly Moodboard is an absolutely wonderful natural inspiration,

Love the color theme, it reminds me on sunsets by the sea

it has so much harmony and peacefulness for me.

So I was inspired to create a new magical layout in mixed media style,

I chose the delicate variation of this Moodboard colour palette

to match an icy frosty winter morning.

The chipboards were primed with white gesso and partially decorated

with a little silver glitter paint. I reassembled the pearl pendant and

added an ornate pendant.

Extra tip:

I turned all the paper flowers into ice flowers by first dipping them

in liquid white acrylic paint and then sprinkled with synthetic snow

to give them a quick and easy frosty look.

Winter Time - Kerstin Filou

Hello everyone!

It's winter here, and the cold, snow and ice are back in full force.

But a walk through the woods in an enchanted snowy

winter landscape is always something special.

A popular and important piece of clothing is the bobble hat, it can't be missing.

I use it as inspiration for my new mixed media layout. Found this bobble hat in an old magazine, glued them onto sturdy cardboard and decorated them with white gesso and ice crystals.

I used stencils, cutting dies, texture paper pieces and these wonderful Dusty Attic winter chipboards,

love these spruce trees.

I worked only with white gesso and added some synthetic snowflakes to the chippies.

I also used die-cuts, which together with the chipboards bring more vividness and fullness to the layout.

To bring more depth to the project, snowflowers, snowballs and fake fur stripes were used

in a wintery cluster.

Merry Christmas - Pascale B - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello Sweeties,

Today, I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with another Xmas home decor. I used the amazing December color combo.

Here is the beautiful December color combo

I colored a large piece of watercolor paper with different inks in burgundy, pale pink and black. I used this paper to cover a MDF star that I have brought a few year ago in a dollar store and completely forget about it. It was perfect for the project I had in mind.

Next I added a design with a stencil and modeling paste. I sprinkled with a coral embossing powder while the paste was still wait and heat embossed. I replaced the stencil at the same places and entended the pattern with a brass wax.

As usual, I primed all the chipboard with white gesso before I colored them. I embossed the Vintage Frame #4 with a copper EP. I embossed the Christmas Berries #1 with a burgundy EP and the berries of the Mistletoe #2 with the coral EP I've used previously.

I painted the Foliage #11 and the Pine Sprig #2 with black liquid acrylic, then I added the brass wax. For the Foliage #27 and Mistletoe #2, I used a brown liquid acrylic. I glued all my elements with 3D gel and I added a few flowers and a small bird.

To finish, I added glitter.

Christmas Home Decor - Pascale B Scrap

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty attic blog with a new Xmas home decor. This time I worked with very traditional colors: green, red, and white.

I primed the MDF with white gesso, then I added a design with a stencil and white crackle paste. I added some green paint to the background.

I primed all the chipboard with white gesso.

I painted the foliage #11, the Pine Sprig #2, Mistletoe #2 and the Holly # for with a green liquid acrylic and a magical. I added more or less of the Magical to intensify the color.

I wanted the Salsa flower to be really red, so I colored it with a red Magical that I used also to color the berries of the Holly #4. For the berries of the Mistletoe I simply used white gesso.
