Beautiful, Textured Door - Patricia Basson


Hello all my dear Blog friends...

Today I share another of my Pinterest Doors that is the inspiration for this month's Dusty Attic DT post...

 
Along with various Dusty pieces I also used paper from 49&Market. I used Tattered and Seeds of Love from the Vintage Artistry collection.

 
 
Using the Damask Stencil, I stencilled the background with Distress Oxides Iced Spruce and Black Soot. Spritzed with water and dried and added some random Grit paste as well through the stencil. I also used several layers of the following Distress oxides to build my background...Broken China, Fossilized Amber and Frayed Burlap.
 
 
 

 

The Corner Flourish #4 was Gesso'd and a little Distress Grid Paste was added on the leaves. To achieve the same Teal colour present in the photo, I mixed some Blue, Green and White acrylic paints and painted it on the flourish. I also touched the raised areas with a little Mystic Turquoise Antique Brilliance Wax.

 

 



 
After Gesso'ing the Brick Wall and Perforated Mesh pieces, I used the Patina and Rust past sets from Prima to treat the  chipboards.
 

 
The cute little Water Pump was treated as follows...Gesso...and then painted with Olive Green and Sandstone Coulourcraft Brusho's. After drying I added a little Grid paste and when dry some  Vermilion Brusho. Also added a gem 'water drop'.

 

The next few photos show the background before inking with the Distress Oxides and the steps of colouring the water pump.
 




 

 



 

 

These are the pieces I used from the
Dusty Attic Shop.

Hello there Dusty Attic Fans!!

Farrel here and I am super excited to be sharing with you all my very first design team project for The Dusty Attic!!!!

I have created this masculine scrapbooking layout using some amazing chipboard and other mixed media products.20170801_100221

How amazing are these chipboard pieces for boy layouts?!
I started off by building my background using a TCW stencil from their new release and some Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays. I then stamped randomly using a Kaisercraft Graffiti Stamp with black Versafine.

20170801_095902

I used Aged Teal Embossing Enamel on my String Circle Frame piece and then cut into 2 pieces....this way I wasn't wasting any of the chipboard behind the photo.

20170801_095910

I cut random pieces from the Diamond Panel chipboard and painted with black gesso. I then dabbed some Nuvo Embellishment Mousse using my finger. I also cut the small Filmstrip in half and inked with my versafine and splattered using Frozen Jack Frost spray.

The Dusty Attic Materials Used:

I took "Retro frame" chipboard and covered  it with paste and acrylic paints. Also I love to use negatives from Dusty attic chipboards)) this time it is negative from "clockworks small". I covered it with two tones of  Dusty in colour acrylic paints.



I used embossing powder for the word chippie "sweet"





Paper is from Heaven sent paper collection, some paints and flowers by Prima marketing













All the process you can see here:







Wish you a good mood and a lot of inspiration!
