Altered Notebook - Joanne Simmons - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello!  Wow!  How nice is this months moodboard??

I have created an altered notebook.

To start I used one of my embellishments.  I like to make these up just for fun and then add them to a page or card.  This is what I started with

So I created this embellishment using a chipboard doily as my base and then adding the broken numbers, bits of the heart attack panel then a flourish.  I did change the blossom as you will see in the pic.

Next I covered my notebook.  I painted it first with some extra body acrylic paint.  Added a little extra texture using the gradient texture stencil.  I then added some wax over the top.

Before I added my embellishment I added some perforated mesh.

Finally I added my embellishment and splattered with white paint

Here are some close ups

Best Friends - Joanne Simons

Hello again!  I hope you are well and safe.  Jo here to share with you some Dusty Attic goodness.

I  have a layout to share today featuring some wonderful Dusty Attic chippy and a special pic of my Mumma bear and I.  We don't often take pics of us together generally because we are on the other end of the camera.  This one was special as we celebrated her 70ish birthday with a surprise morning tea at home with a few of her dear friends.

I started with my photo and some paper layers and then added some of the chipboard doilies which were heat embossed with gold.  I then sat the whole lot on top of the Bali Border #2 which was also heat embossed.  On top of the Bali Border is the Vine Corner which I used more like a flourish than a corner.

I added a little umbrella to the blossoms and adhered the Best Friends title to the top of the blossoms too.

To add a little more texture I added the stitched lines chipboard which I just covered with white gesso for a pop of colour.

Here are some close ups for you.
