My favourite colour is Rainbow - Heather Woodall

 Good morning

I had so much fun creating these projects. I had paint everywhere!!

I started with the DA3621 Circular Picture Pie - Circular picture pie – Dusty Attic – Australian owned and operated Laser Cutting business as my design idea, both as a template and as a chipboard piece.

I have used it as a template only on a art journal page, and then as a template then a chipboard piece on a scrapbook page.

The base of both the journal page and the scrapbook page I have used 3 soft colours and a large paint brush to softly add to the page. I have then used 3 different stencils and the same colour paints to stencil over the top.

DA1473 Bubbles Stencil - Bubbles Stencil – Dusty Attic – Australian owned and operated Laser Cutting business

DA2662 Flourish Stencil - Flourish Stencil – Dusty Attic – Australian owned and operated Laser Cutting business

I have then used the Circular Picture Pie Chipboard as a template to trace around on both the journal page and scrapbook page to create a colour wheel base.

I have then chosen my paint colours and applied to create the colour wheel.

Over the top of both I have used a more pastel version of each colour and the DA3601 Paintbrush Stencil - Paintbrush Stencil – Dusty Attic – Australian owned and operated Laser Cutting business

To finish off the Art Journal Page I used a large black Posca Pen to write the title and highlighted with a white gel pen.

To finish of the scrapbook page I attached the Circular Picture Pie Chipboard using clear drying glue. I then used Posca pens to paint the "My Favourite Colour is Rainbow" title as well as the rainbow and clouds. These were all then attached using clear drying glue.

Find beauty in the Everyday - Kim Arnold - Mood Board Inspiration

 

Hi everyone! Some inspiration using the beautiful February moodboard.

I was totally inspired by the colour palette of the moodboard – but I did add some gold in which I felt worked well with the sunrise image. I pulled a heap of papers and embellishments in the colours and then selected my Dusty Attic chipboard and coloured it to match. I will take you through what chipboard I used and what techniques I applied.

I started with the background so that it could dry. I used a heavy weight mixed media cardstock and painted it with blue watercolour. Once that was dry, I used the Rainbow stencil and inked with oxide inks and a sponge over the watercolour.

With the title, I coloured the cursive part of the title in matt blue wax and then added an opal wax over it to give it some shine.

For the word “EVERYDAY” I used a plum wax, and once that was dry, I dabbed gold wax on the bottom half of the letters to give an ombre effect.

I then painted the dandelions with gold ink. I use Kuretake Brilliant Gold Mica Ink which works so well on raw chipboard to give an incredible gold finish in one coat. I used one large and two small dandelions.

For the Scrolls, I wanted to do another ombre effect, but in purple, so I used three different purple waxes to go from a light to dark purple.

I then layered the chipboard under and on top of the various elements that I used on the layout.

There is a process video if you would like to see exactly how I made this layout:

I hope you have a chance to get some creative time in soon.

Happy scrapping

Sugary Sweet card set - Ankarika Craft

  Hi there!

It's been a long time since I had an order for a children's card. The one I'm presenting today was ordered for a boy. I have been making twin cards for a long time. They always differ in something, often it is a mirror image of the composition. This time, you can also see a few minor differences. The second is made in reserve if ordered last minute. I like to have such projects up on my shelve, sooner or later there will be someone willing to buy it.

I have made a few cards with this cute teddy bear in the lead role so far. I like this die a lot, I bought it a long time ago and it has been serving me loyal for several years. The card is layered, in the colors of sky blue and white. The background is embossed with a 3D embossing folder from Sizzix, in addition I have highlighted the embossing with Finnabair wax. The edges of the individual layers were sewn on the machine and gently torn.

The teddy bear is die-cut three times, which makes it stiff and solid. He is holding a heart made of resin cast (Finnabair) in its paw. A month ago, I equipped myself with accessories for making castings, I bought the first few molds from Prima and, full of excitement, showed my struggles with the first casts on my IG on a regular basis. I encountered a few problems, but today I can easily say that I have mastered the topic and a whole drawer of beautiful casts waiting for my 5 minutes. The plane's screw is also such a cast.

The teddy bear is placed on the techno circles from the set from Dusty Attic and on this occasion I need to mention that this post is in cooperation with this fantastic cardboard producer. All chipboards in this design is secured with white gesso. The aforementioned circles, heart strings on the left side and the outline of clouds were additionally coloured with embossing powder. I additionally diversified the clouds with craft snow, which made them fluffy - you can see this process on my IG profile as a Reels - in few days.

A rainbow shimmers in the background of the teddy bear, and chipboard banner of stars is attached to the plane, shimmering beautifully with all possible colors thanks to the embossing powder. I also colored the words "Hello", "Birthday Wishes", "Sugary sweet" and "love your Smile". I put a seagull next to the clouds. I like delicate children's designs when they are finished. In the course of work, unfortunately I'm constantly tempted to grab some vintage paste... This is a real inner struggle, take my word for it!...

Escape Outdoors - Rikki G - Mood Board Inspiration

Good morning how are you? I am here to share with you the newest challenge for Dusty Attic Chipboard and I have to say its such a pretty mood board and the possibilities are endless. 

                        Especially when you want to do something that has multiple layers.... 

When you start a layout like that you really  need a big feature piece of chipboard  like the Botanical Rings #2. I have added some foam mount under this to give me more options when sticking my pattern papers down to the page.

So once I have my pattern paper flowers over the ring, some of those have multiple layers of foam tape others do not I can start adding my other ephemera pieces in a couple of clusters....

Now its about adding my chipboard elements starting off with the Daisies and Lavender sprays , they get positioned between the layers of flowers and ephemera.

Now your smaller chipboards can be added throughout the layout like the passport and compass.

The rainbow adds to the fun and whimsy of the layout and it teams up great with the Great Outdoors chipboard title.

Finish off the layout with paper flowers and even tiny resin ones.

I hope this has inspired you to play with all your chipboard elements....
