Embrace the Journey - Kristy Abela

Welcome Dusty FANattics

I did this project as a photo challenge....

I loved every photo in this set and none of them were really stand outs! So I used them all to create a filmstrip of images to show how much fun we had the morning we sent Aksel off to High School!!

Using White gesso to partially prime my cardstock I applied Distress Spray to the surface I wanted the cardstock to both absorb and resist the colour. Using some chalk paint to darken the top and diluted it to create shadow in the gaps of the Chipboard.

I love the look of this - Stone Washed Denim!! #childofthe80's

For texture I used Rust pastes to age the piece.

I gently rubbed the oxide pads over Dusty Attic Corrugated Cardstock in our school colours (yes, poor boy... I went to the same school) and framed the images with a touch of white gesso in lieu of a matt.

I created a background of plasterers tape, Stamping and Stenciling to layer my chipboard onto. I used some metallic paint from and painted the wood veneers Blue and the Industrial Globes in yellow.

Here is a close up with the prills and paint splatters.

These are the images from the opposite page.

Without making it too obvious... I worked the date into the embellishments!

Like a Boss - Farrel Tailor

Whoo hoo it's Friday and today I am sharing a layout using some awesome chipboard by Dusty Attic Chipboard.

I had so much fun creating this layout and wanted to try and keep it simple as the papers are quite bold. So with this mind I decided to keep the colours to a minimum - orange, blue black and white.

The papers I used are by Fab Scraps #teens collection (I love this range - perfect for boy layouts). I covered the cogs, arrows, hashtag and title chipboard in white gesso first to help the colour pop. The skull I covered with black gesso.

For the arrows I used Dylusions Calypso Team and used a paint brush to cover the chipboard.

For the cogs and title I used Distress Stain Spiced Marmalade and Fluro Orange acrylic paint. Once they dried I then used a blending tool with Distress Oxide Black Soot to go around the edges.

I wanted to add more black to my page so I decided to used the page pebbles chipboard and ink with black archival Ink.

To finish off the layout, I used the fluro orange paint with a little amount of water, white gesso and Dylusions spray to splatter on my background and also on the small skull.

Dusty Products Used:

Arrows #1

Hashtags

Cogs #1

Cogs #2

Page Pebbles #10

Skulls and Crossbone

Word Pack #37

I hope you enjoyed my latest creation and thanks for dropping by.

You fill my heart with love - Farrel Tailor (video link)

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.

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.

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:

Dusty Attic Chipboard String Circle Frame

Dusty Attic Filmstrip Small

Dusty Attic Chipboard Diamond Panel

Dusty Attic Chipboard Wordpl@y #4 - black

[gallery ids="1956,1957,1958,1975" columns="2"]

Daddy & I - Patricia Basson

Hello to all my Bloggie friends today!

I am fortunate to have a few sheets of 7 Dots Studio papers and what better product to combine them with than my ever favourite Dusty Attic chipboard!!!

This is a photo of me and my Father when I was only a few weeks old...

At first I planned on having the frame behind the photo but after all the work I put into it and seeing what it looked like I decided to rather put it on the photo.

I used the Cog Stencil and some brown ink to add interest to the back page. I then thickened Hot Chocolate and Oceania Paint with Ayeeda's Magic Powder to create a nice thick paste that I used with the Circuit Stencil.

I wanted to add texture to my chipboard and also to my page and to achieve this I added some cotton to the top and bottom of my photo stack and Finnabair Plum Glass Beads, Sterling Glass Glitter and fine Black glitter.

The Vintage Frame and Ornate Pendant were both painted with the following Dusty in Colour Paints...Hot Chocolate

Mountain Meadow

Oceania

Sunburnt Orange.

I just painted each colour randomly and kept going until I was happy with the antique effect that I was going for. Once dry I distressed the frame in places with a sanding block to expose some raw chipboard which I then inked with Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink. Finally I gave it a light dry brush swipe with Gold Opal Magic Mica Powder.

Using various Distress Stains and paints...Abandoned Coral, Peeled Paint, Spiced Marmalade and Vintage Photo, I coloured the Cogs. I also added a little clear UTEE to them.
