every Photo tells a story - Patricia Basson - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello all. 
Today I am sharing another page with photos of my youngest Daughter with you using the sweet pastel colors of the July Moodboard from Dusty Attic.

I used papers from AB Studio, Love comes Again, Angel's Heaven and Ocean of Kisses from the So much Love collection.

I punched and handstitched the edges of the multi layers trying to incorporate all the lovely colours.











Technique wise  I did not do much this time. Reason is I bought a new product and wanted to try it out without to much fussing. 

So after Gesso on the chipboard I coloured them with Cosmic Shimmer's Matt Chalk polish. It's an interesting textured product, I would describe it being like Putty, and it gives a real lovely Matt coverage on the chipboard. Easy to apply with either a sponge or paintbrush. 
 
I used the colors Aqua, Antique Rose and Custard on the various pieces. On the little Frangipani Blooms I used a sponge for the Custard Color and a Paintbrush for the Antique Rose in the inside. I also tried my hand with the Distressed Gilded Foundry Wax from Tim Holtz on the Leafy Corner and Spring Blooms. 



 





A sprinkle of Rose Gold Glitter, Flowers, Lace Flowers and some Fussy cut elements and the page was done. 









From the Dusty Attic On-Line Shop I used the Following...

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.

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

Cheers

Happy - Belinda Spencer - Mood Board Inspiration

 Hello Dusty Attic fans!!


It's Belinda here today to share my latest layout inspired by the June Mood Board challenge and featuring some fabulous Dusty Attic chipboard.

"Happy"


Here's a reminder of the stunning mood board for this month. Aren't the colours just so pretty?!


I started my layout by adding some stencilling to the background paper using the XOXO and Confetti # 2 Stencils. 


Next I added a piece of gorgeous printed vellum followed by the Fancy Frame # 4. I painted the frame with three coats of white gesso and then added some shimmery texture paste on top. I layered on some patterned papers in the mood board colours followed by a photo of my darling daughter.


I fussy cut some flowers from patterned paper and added those along with the Small Tea Leaves that I altered to match the frame.


Lastly I added all of my embellishments and title. The title, mini tab and word arrow were all painted with three coats of heavy gesso while the Mini Heart Button was painted to match the frame and tea leaves.
