Second I would like to share a layout as inspiration for the June Mood Board challenge with you from 

JEN BURNS 

Although I started off with the Dusty Attic June mood board my layout took me into a different direction as I added greens, blues and yellows to my page below.

Today I have a layout of my gorgeous little grand daughter taken last year at the park across the road, just sitting playing with the leaves quite happily. 

I started off by slicing the large Park tree in half and using this on the left hand side of my page (and now I have another half for another layout)  I have painted the Tree with brown on the  trunk and branches and then the grass and leaves section with green, when it was completely dry  inked some brown ink over the top to add texture, I have painted the Autumn leaves the same way. 

Using the 49 and Market Curators Botanical range allowed me to connect the tree over to the photograph using the fence rub on then follow the layout upwards to add the Heart strings heart and large butterfly to the top of the page. 

The word "Blessed" is from Word pack #45 and is perfect for the way I feel about both of my grandchildren. I have sponged this with the same green as the tree but added a yellow ink over the top to add highlights. 

To finish off my page I have added a mini heart button in white and three cute little mini butterflies in yellow,

Remember you can purchase any of the Dusty Attic chipboard from the online store

Project Life Cards - Belinda Spencer - Mood Board Inspiration

 Hello Dusty Attic fans!!

It's Belinda here today to share my project for The Dusty Attic inspired by the marvellous March Mood Board. 

This month I have created six altered Project life cards using some fun Dusty Attic chipboard pieces and stencils. I find these really fun to make and a great way to use up scraps. I will probably make them into junk journals or use them as tip ins in other journals. They would also make great card fronts. 

Here's a peek at the mood board.

I began by adding collage to my Project Life cards using torn scraps of patterned papers in the colour scheme as well as some tissue paper.

Once the cards were completely dry, I added some stencilling using various Dusty Attic stencils and texture paste. I then set them aside to let them completely dry again.

Once dry, I found that the stencilling wasn't opaque enough so I added white Posca Pen over the top to brighten the stencilling a bit more.

Here are the completed altered cards.

I painted all of the chipboard pieces with about three coats of white gesso first. Then I picked out some of the pieces to paint with Dusty In Colour Storm Cloud paint.

I used a Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher to add the layers to the cards. I added torn scraps of other project life cards and the leftover negatives from chipboard pieces like the Mini Stars that you can see in the first card below.

For this card, I added a torn piece of the Mini Chicken Wire and then layered on a frame from the Frame Medley set, an owl, some Mini Foliage and the Mini Caption.

For the second card I added some doodling to the cute gecko using a fine white Posca Pen.

For this card I wanted the 'create' to be pouring out of the tap like an endless supply of creativity.

I LOVE the Cow Skulls so much (maybe because I live on a farm with cows!) so I had to use one and give it a little decoration with the fine white Posca Pen again.

I used some tangled thread on this card, to show the absolute mess that an artist can make when working just as a cat does. Well my cat in particular makes a huge mess all the time!! I hear Homer Simpson in my head whenever I see what she has done next "Why you little........."

And for the final card, a simply decorated autumn leaf using the Posca Pen again.
