Making Memories - Patricia Basson - Mood Board Inspiration

Today I am sharing a page for the Dusty Attic Moodboard using a photo of me and the two girls...

I used papers from the Lost in Time collection from Craft O Clock.

The paper is so beautiful with the colors matching the Moodboard, I did not need to add too much to it. I only used a Stencil and some Metallic Gold Studio 490 Embossing Paste to add a little texture and glitz.

I used some Prima Resin Mold Frames. They were painted with Rust effect Pastes Brown and Olive Green and Waxes Red Amber and Sage Leaves.

I embossed the Square Frame with Lindy's embossing powder, Cleopatra's Copper and the Honeycomb Broken Bits with Cosmic Shimmer Gilding Flakes Red Blaze.

On the Foliage Cluster I also used the Gilding Flakes. After Gesso'ing the Lacey Heart Frame and Fancy Trim, I added Crackle Paste. Once dry I painted with Lindy's Stampgang Sprays, Red Hot Poker Orange and Cattail Copper Brown.

I painted the Small Daisies Flowers with white Acrylic Paint and also with the Lindy's Sprays. I punched stamens for the center and added a half Gemstone as well.

The embossing did not seem to 'stick' to the gesso on the Leaves and gave a running effect that I find very interesting and gorgeously distressed...

On the Decorative Frame I used the Cattail Copper Brown Spray and on the Word Disk the Red Hot Poker Orange.

A daughter is the happy memories of the past,

the joyful moments of the present,

and the hope and promise of the future.

Imagine and Discover - Lynette Jacobs - Mood Board Inspiration

Lynette here, welcome to the blog today. I am sharing my take on the October mood board. When my son, Wynand, sent me these cute photos of Lukas and Eben I just knew that I wanted to use ALL the photos to tell the story.

The Mood board:

Dusty Attic product used:

Blueprint word pack

Industrial Cluster #1

Industrial Cluster #3

Custom Mixed Chipboard -Industrial

Some close up details:

I used different acrylic paints to create a rust effect on the industrial chipboard pieces.

I clustered the various chipboard pieces around the photos.

The Chipboard titles were heat embossed.

I just love how fun and rustic this page turned out.
