Hello everyone and welcome to my first ever Dusty Attic blogpost! 

My name is Valia Katzaki and I am a shabby scrapper from sunny Greece. I love chipboard and flowers, is there any better scrappy combination? Dusty Attic has the most amazing designs and I couldnt be more thankful to Jennifer Hedger and Jen Burns for having me on the team! 

This is a dream come true for me!

Let me say that opening my DT package was a thrilling experience. All these beautiful products, the chipboard, the flowers, the acrylics and the stencils inspired me to scrap in a most romantic way. 

Here is our January moodboard

And this is my layout

I treated the backgroung with a script DA stencil and Shimmerz Texturez. 

The word "Special" was first primed with gesso and then painted with Twinkling H2Os. I cut the corners from the elegant chain and I tucked them in my clusters. To achieve a different shade of the same color, I used the same paint but I didnt gesso the piece first. I treated the Scrolls the same way. 

I painted the Ivy corners with Finnabair Mica Powder mixed with gloss medium. I generously dabbed the leaves with paint to get extra texture. When the leaves were dry, I dilluted Dusty in Color Raisin with lots of water and I washed the leaves in oder to highlight the raised areas. It gave the leaves a kind of succulent look. 

REMEMBER  
all chipboard can be purchased direct from the Dusty Attic website, and there is free shipping when you order over $75.00 worth world wide.

The Dusty Attic chipboard pieces were so amazing that I couldnt help myself so I made two cards as well. For the first card I used a piece of the Tickets set and the ATC Frame #4

For the second card, I used the inside leftover of the ATC frame as a frame for my sentiment. Even the leftovers are too great not to use!

Moments 

 

The Mood board for January is just so beautiful, turquoise and pink combined together with Dusty Attic chippies is just lovely isn't it? Even a bit of Colour Blast shimmer too.  Today I'm sharing my layout inspired by all this yummy goodness.

Here is the January Mood Board 

I used the beautiful Ornate Frame Set as center stage for my layout. It was treated with gesso, white acrylic paint, crackle. Once the crackle was dried, I lightly inked it with some chalk ink and rubbed away the excess. I also used some Foliage #2 . The foliage was treated the same as the frame. I absolutely adore the chippie foliage, leafy stems and assorted leaves for around my flower clusters:) 

I also added in some texture with the Creative Script Stencil and Dusty Attic Texture Paste. Before the paste was dry I lightly spritzed it with the amazing COLOUR BLAST spray in envy, such a pretty minty pastel green matched perfectly with my colors. Easy to apply smooth spray to add a little shimmer. 

I also used the Tickets and choose the moments for my title. 

I hope you have been inspired to create something with this beautiful January Mood Board. There is a $100 Dusty Attic voucher to win. Thanks for stopping in today! Happy Creating!

'Today'

I was inspired by the colours as they are simply beautiful, the overall textures on the board and all of those lovely pink flowers.

I chose to keep my page quiet simple and let the clustering of the gorgeous Dusty chipboard shine. How cute are those chippy flowers which were so easy to create by simply wetting the chipboard and pulling apart slightly.

Here are some close ups...

I love to get my texture, through paper layers & chipboard layers. Here is a close up, showing some of the layering. I painted the bottom part of the Elegant chain with clear crackle, then placed the top part on while the crackle was still wet. I let that dry then painted the crackle part with Shimmerz inklings chocolate & Diamonds, & the top with Lindys, Magical, cream brulee cream. I then glued that piece onto the brick window. I dipped the Ivy Flourish in water, then gently lifted the edges. I  used a heat gun to dry it ( this also helps to make the edges curl up). Once the Ivy Flourish was completely dry, I applied a coat of clear crackle, I let that dry, then painted it with LuminArt' Silk, Teal Zircon & Vintage Mint. I glued that onto the Ivy Flourish...

The flowers used, are older flowers that I had on hand, from IamRoses. I altered them by removing the flower centers, then painting them with Ranger Perfect Pearls, Pearl, once they dried, I glued on the seed beads for the flower centers...

I painted the pot & columns with the clear crackle, let dry, then painted it with the Inklings chocolate & diamonds. I used the crackle also on the bricks. On the under piece I used the chocolate & diamonds & on the bricks I used the creame brulee...

I painted the Marrakesh Trellis with the Cream Brulee, glued it down, then glued on the seed beads & pearls..

Here are some more closeups....
