You & Me - Judith Tijsen - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello everyone,

My first project of this month is based on the moodboard challenge.

The colors of the board are really bright and colorful this month, with beautiful blue/green and yellow tones. I hope you all join us and I hope my creation inspires you for some creativity. 

This time a took a smaller tray from about 20cm. I colored the edges with different colors acrylic paint. Then I cut a cardboard circle that fits exactly into the tray. I did this so that I can edit the surface with a stencil. This is a lot easier than doing it on the tray itself.

DA1498 - Glass Stains Stencil

DA0213 - Decorative Schroll #1

DA2394 - Broken Bits #4

DA1121 - Mini Branches #2

DA3253 - Word Pack #52

You could win $50 AUD credits to the Dusty Attic online store. The only requirement is that you have Dusty Attic chipboard on your creation and enter your project on the Dusty FANattics Page. 

This is the moodboard of the month April.

Today's favourite - Heather Woodall

 Good morning. This time I've gone with a creamy beige theme for my layout to keep it all very neutral and subtle.

I chose the Spring Blooms #4 Dusty Attic Chipboard out to play with this time. I loved the size and how much is in this pack.

I was going to use my Prismacolor pencils to colour them, but after I went through my stash of papers (I'm trying to use up what I've got stored away), I decided to just use really soft colours of ink on them applied with a dauber. I've used brown ink on the branches, a sagey green (yep, technical term) and a soft pink on the petals.

Once I figured out roughly where I wanted everything to go on my page, I started by applying Ranger's Texture Paste Metallic White through the Dusty Attic Distressed Diamonds stencil (DA1480E). I did sprinkle some very fine glitter over the top of the texture paste while it was still wet. Unfortunately, no matter what I tried I couldn't get it to show clearly in a photo.

I then re-assembled my page, but this time I stuck it down using a combination of levels of foam tape to give height. I even pulled out my box of 49 and Market flowers, and my box of old pieces of lace to tuck in and around the page.

The title I very simply just used the same brown ink that I had on the flower branches, and then once dry I added just a hint of gold wax.

All of the chipboard and stencil used on this page can be purchased at Dusty Attic – Australian owned and operated Laser Cutting business – Dusty Attic is an Australian owned and operated Laser Cutting business, which designs and manufactures craft items and embellishments.

Thank you again for following Dusty Attic and all of the design team's designs.

Perfect - Michelle Van Oudtshoorn

Hello Dusty FANattics

And just like that a quarter of the year has gone - and we just had a wee reminder from Mother Nature that winter is approaching - it sure has been quite chilly here in New Zealand.

Here is my project for April

All chipboard pieces were first prepped with white gesso. Once the gesso was dry, I started with the frames first by spraying them lightly with water. I used a posco pen to colour these frames - they react with water like acrylic paints - and I dabbed dots of colour and let the colour "bleed" into the water droplets. The infinity piece (flourish with the heart) DA3248 and the two monarch butterflies DA2385 were coloured with a combination of 2 coloured Posco pens as a solod colour.

I stacked the frames and adhered these to the page with foam tape. The gesso'd leaves DA1870 were also coloured with a green Posco pen. Once this was dry, I then dribbled glimmer mist spray over the leaves. Once these were dry, I then adhered them around and under the frames before layering the fussy cut flowers and leaves.

I created a cluster for the title DA2575 "Perfect" - also using chippy leaves and layering fussy cut pieces. The title was painted with Art Alchemy Metallique paint.

These are the products

Thank you for visiting the blog.

Hugs,

Michelle

Gentlemans card and box - Mariusz - Scrap Hobby

 

Hello everyone!

Today I have another inspiration for you with unusual Dusty Attic chipboards.

This time I made a gentleman's card and a box for it.

In a rich floral arrangement you will find a clock #Clockworks Small DA1749

In addition, I expanded the composition with chipboards with gears 

#Industrial Border #1 DA1949

and

#Industrial Border #2 DA1950

I added some paper elements and that's how the men's set was created.

What do you think about this combination of colors and accessories?

Have a nice day!
