Just Because - Kim Arnold - Mood Board Inspiration

 

Hi everyone! Some mood board inspiration from me today.

With this month’s mood board I felt inspired to create an art journal page using Dusty Attic chipboard and stencil. I love art journaling as it gives me a chance to try different techniques which I can then use in my scrapbooking. For this page I decided to try stamping with chipboard and I will walk you through what I did. I think it worked out really well and will definitely be something I try again.

To start the journal page, I watered down aqua coloured distress ink onto plastic and smooshed into onto the page. I like to use the packaging from my chipboard as the plastic as it is nice and soft. I did many layers, letting each layer dry, so that I ended up with a very textured background with lots of depth. I then use the Keyboard Jumble Stencil, an ink sponge and a darker shade of aqua distress oxide ink to make a random pattern with numbers and symbols. It is important that the distress ink background is completely dry before you do this.

I then used aqua acrylic paint and the broken bits chipboard to stamp more designs into the background. I simply painted the chipboard reasonably thickly and while it was went turned it over and stamped it onto the journal page. This gives you a double use of your chipboard as you can then use the painted chipboard on a future layout!

Broken Bits #12

I loved the idea of building on the numbers and symbols in the background by creating a formula with beautiful sayings on the word disks. I decided on Everyday moments + Captured moments = Cherish the little things. I painted the word disks and mini addition pieces in silver paint. I interpreted the grey in the mood board as silver – as I love metalics. I made the equal sign by snipping two of the limbs from one of the crosses in the mini addition set.

I then painted up one of the songbirds using the moodboard colours. I didn’t use the second layer of the wing as I don’t want too much bulk in my art journal. Some final splatters of silver paint and a rub of brown ink around the outside of the page and my moodboard inspired art journal page is done!

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

Happy scrapping

Love moments like these - Kim Arnold - Mood Board Inspiration

 

Hello Dusty Fans, Kim here with Mood Board Inspiration for you. 

Here is the May challenge with its Autumn tones.

Here is my layout of our "Autumn Harvest" which the dogs think are balls.

I have started my layout with a strip of the large Geo panel in the back ground.

Using 49 and Market papers I have left the barcode section on at the bottom, cutting the same thickness from the top to keep my page 12x12.

I have painting my title, making the MOMENTS word a rusty orange then covered it with clear embossing powder to make it glossy

The cute Songbird has also been painted in the same tones.

At the bottom the photo I have a cluster made from a piece of chipboard driftwood underneath the Christmas Berries and added a page pebble.

Good times with Friends - Rikki G - Sketch Inspiration

 Good morning how are you ? I am here today to share this month's Dusty Attic Sketch Challenge  and since I had some of the Moodboard papers on my desk I decided on combining them once again. Don't forget you have double the chance  to win if you enter the two challenges, so why don't you give it a go?

and here is a reminder of the Mood board:

This sketch works out great if you have little bits of chipboard left over, so the Skeleton Clock I chopped up and had a quarter of it leftover......

The Square Geo is perfect to chop up and scatter around the layout and you will still have leftovers for another layout.

The Vine Border is also cut into smaller pieces from a previous layout.

You can layer elements of the Geo Panel to add interest and tie your layers together.

I hope this inspires you to have a play and use all your left over chipboard, till next time, 

have a creative day.

Hello lovelies

Oh my - the moodboard for this month is just beautiful! 

I love this moodboard - you can take part in the Dusty Attic moodboard challenge by using the moodboard as inspiration and Dusty Attic chipboard and add your entry to the DustyFANattics facebook page for your chance to win one of $50 credit of Dusty Attic chipboard. 

Here is my take on the Challenge:

The chipboard (except the chicken wire) was all covered in black gesso and then various shades of purple waxes added to the pieces. I have gone for a darker shade on the bigger foliage (DA3347 - I used two of these) and lighter shades on the mini foliage (DA2440).

The chicken wire (DA0457) was painted with metallic paint.

I cut the chicken wire into two pieces and layered these at the top and bottom corners of the photo. I then layered my flowers around the photo.

I added foliage among the flowers and under the flowers, as well as the wagon wheels (DA2803)

I made another small cluster to the right of the photo, also adding chipboard foliage, and the little songbird (DA3301). I finished off adding beads to the layout.

These are the products I have used:

Thank you for visiting the blog today.

Take care,

Michelle
