Just ME - Rikki G - Mood Board Inspiration

 Good morning how are you? I am here today to share with you this months NEW Dusty Attic Moodboard challenge. 

This one I created with on retreat... remember I had a goal of 10 or more layouts... well I managed 9 layouts, one layout took me 5 hrs to bling so I might have zoned out a little but thats ok, thats the point of retreat, to have fun and just be with amazing like minded people right?

To start this layout I used a cut file as a base and then worked around it with my photos and Dusty Attic Chipboard Elements.

By mounting the cut file on some foam tape you can make your chipboard title float over your fussy cut elements and rhinestones by only gluing small points that touch in the file.

With the Dusty Attic Sun it can be added under the small waves of the cut file.

The Dusty Attic Maiden Hair Fern can be cut into small parts so you can get two pieces, also it adds to the movement off the layout.

Something Wicked... - Rikki G - Mood Board Inspiration

Another month and that means a new Moodboard for Dusty Attic and time  to get scrapping. 

For me its a time to go hunting through papers and to see what I have in my stash to complete the moodboards. Some times this is an easy find other time you have to blend and find different collections. Like what I have done with my layout a blend of Alexandra Renke , Websters and Mintay Urban Jungle papers.

And of course the finishing touches like Dusty Attic Chipboard. 

 

Its all about the layers, and using scraps to make the layout, like for the outer boarder, I only had a small amount of paper but I really wanted to use the wood grain, by cutting it into strips I could start the layout.

To continue with the layout I build my layers on white cardstock, then its on to the left hand side of the layout with all the fussy cut leaves, its also a good time to introduce the Tropical Foliage Chipboard leaves.

To add more details the layers add some large glass domes and then different glitters. 

Mix some chipboard pieces up like a cloud and a sun.

How cute is the Gnome? Got to love its a layered chipboard.

To finish off the title, add some stickles over the top to add a little bit of sparkle.

MY happy Place - Belinda Spencer

 Hello Dusty Attic fans!!

It's Belinda here today to share with you my latest layout for The Dusty Attic 

For my layout I painted all of my chipboard pieces with a few coats of heavy white gesso for a nice crisp white to stand out against the neutral colours.

I used a torn piece of the fabulous Corrugated Cardboard underneath my photo and paper stack.

I added my title and a bunch of other appropriate words/quotes on the right side of my page to balance the layout.

I LOVE the cute suns and rainbows and it is so fun to create clusters of these chipboard pieces together. I kept the inside solid punch out parts of my clouds intact to make them more solid and hide the bottom of the rainbow.

The Polaroid Frames are perfect to slip in between the layers of a photo/paper stack.

The Geo Tags are such an awesome small chipboard piece to layer on top of other embellishments.

The Dusty Attic products used:

DA0830 Corrugated Card

DA1088 Geo Tags

DA1822 Word Arrows # 3

DA2454 Polaroid Frame Set # 1

DA2693 My Happy Place # 2

DA2937 Daily #

DA3037 Rainbow # 4 Small

Thanks for stopping by the blog today. I hope you get a chance to play along with the November Mood Board too.

Walking on Sunshine - Belinda Spencer - Mood Board Inspiration

 Hello Dusty Attic fans!!

It's Belinda here today to share my layout inspired by the beautiful October Mood Board.

Here's a peek at the mood board:

Such pretty colours!!

Here is my layout:

I started my layout by spritzing some heavy weight white cardstock with Heidi Swapp Colour Shine in Cherry.I flicked some of the colour over the page too. I dried it off with a heat gun and then added stencilling with the Bedazzled Stencil and heavy white gesso.

I prepped all of my chipboard pieces with a few coats of heavy white gesso.

I then used Posca Paint Pens to add colour to some of the chipboard pieces. I love using these paint pens to detail my chipboard. They are so easy to use, mess free and require no cleaning up afterwards. Easy!!

I added some stamping, my photo and paper stack and remaining embellishments and the layout was done.

Here's what I used:

DA3053 Hearts # 4

DA3044 Suns

DA2922 Botanical Ringlets # 2

DA2750 Walking on Sunshine

DA1482 Bedazzled Stencil

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today. I hope you are inspired to play along with the mood board this month too.

Cheers

Belinda
