Cherish - Michelle Van Oudshoorn - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello there!

Here is my take in the lovely moodboard for August. Gosh I just love this moodboard ... so inviting, I would just love to be there .....

 Here is my take on the moodboard inspired by the colours

I have used some of the new release chippies - they are just so gorgeous!

I have started off with clear gesso on the page. Once this as dry, I stencilled the background with texture paste using the Dusty Attic Knitting Stencil. The background chipboard is from the Polaroid Frame Set #1. I have used the outside frame and one of the slides with the cherish word. The photo was then placed on this frame.

I used Creative Expression Gilding Polish to colour all my chipboard. I first done the frame and placed this on top of the photo before I added fussy cut flowers.

Once this was all placed. I the tucked in the Tropical Foliage #6 under the flowers, and added some Blooms #3. And I just had to add the gorgeous little mini shells - they are just so cute.

I finished off the page adding some art stones and adding some ink around the edges of the design.

Milk Monster - Belinda Spencer - Mood Board Inspiration

Hi Dusty FANattics!!

Belinda here today to share my take on the gorgeous August Mood Board.

'Milk Monster'

I chose to use the dark brown in the mood board for my background allowing the other brighter colours to pop.

Here's a reminder of the mood board:

So pretty right?!

I chose the NEW Distressed Grid Broken Bits for this layout specifically so I could paint the splats with white gesso to look like milk to match the photo of my little man messing about with his milk.

I added lots of layers of matching patterned paper under my photo and tucked in a bunch of tickets, page tabs, flowers and stickers etc.

I used the NEW Alphabet Jumble for the 'Milk' title. I LOVE the random heights and styles of the letters for my titles. I painted the 'milk' with a mix of Capri and Oceania Dusty in Colour paints with some white gesso mixed in.

Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today. I do hope you find some time to play with the mood board too this month.

Cheers

Hello dear friends!

Today I have a new mood board inspiration for you.

This palette with the colours of the sunset have brought about my sea mood and I wanted to sail the boat across the waves of my creativity.

I created a multilayered canvas where I  made the background picture through the stencil from Dusty Attic and added their amazing and perfectly matching chipboard. I painted it with color ink-pads and sprays from Lindy’s.

Small shells, stones, toppings and drops of paint enhanced my layout and made it look complete.

My sailboat is riding the waves of my sweet tropical holiday memories!

Here I used:

Broken Bits #7 - Distressed Grid

Distressed Grid Stencil

Blueprint DISCOVER

Shells #3

Mini Compasses

I hope you enjoy my work!

Cheers,

Juliette Frame - Kasia Salmanowicz - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello crafty people!

This time I have for you a pastel project with new chipboard from Dusty Attic. I decorated a simple, plastic frame inspired by the moodboard for August. There is a pink, blue and a bit of brown so I worked very well with it.

At the beginning I secured the frame with white gesso. I did the same with all decorative elements that were in this composition. I glued everything with a heavy body gel. I used three shades of acrylic paints that I mixed with water. As always, I whitened the entire project after drying.

Finally, I splashed the frame with the paints that were used. I gently outlined the contours of the black gesso and added small stamps in several places.

Used in this project:

Broken Bits #4 - Marrakesh

Juliette Balcony #2

Spider Chrysanthemum

Corner Flourish #1

Evening by the Sea - Kerstin Filou - Mood Board inspiration

Hello creative friends!

A new moodboard which reminds me on beautiful sunset's by the sea.

'Evening by the Sea' 

I use two photo's from the Baltic sea, where I love to spend our holidays.

There are no palm trees but a beautiful sandy beach where you can walk with your dog for hours.

This is true recreation and pure relaxation for us.

Unfortunately we can't go there every year and so I like to remember this time while doing handicrafts. This is one of the reasons why I love scrapbooking so much.

The use of Dusty Attic chipboards make the projects more vivid and interesting.

You can find a lot of natural style elements under Beach, Fishing, Nautical and Tropical.
