Hello dear Dusty FANattics!

We have a bright and colourful mood board for this month.

Love the colours! Here is my take on the Jan challenge.

Inspired by the these bright and beautiful colours, I created a Layout

 on watercolor paper featuring lots of lovely Dusty Attic chipboard.

 I used the fabulous Graphic 45 collection Fashion Forward. Some

of the chipboard pieces in this Layout have been heat embossed 

and others have been painted with Finnabair metallique and impasto

paints. I layered my photo on to lots of die-cuts and adorned it with

gorgeous Prima Flowers.

Happy Papercrafting!

You make me SMILE - Hetty Hall - Mood Board Inspiration

Hey there Dusty Fans, welcome back to the blog for some more mood board inspiration. Mood boards are such a great way to get your creative juices flowing, sometimes I know exactly what I am going to create, other times I have got to think outside the box. This month I concentrated on the yellow, pink and grey/silver.

You make me Smile

I used some gorgeous Colour Blast paper for the background and you will find all the Dusty Attic Chipboard pieces I used below with link back to the store. I covered all my chipboard pieces with grey paint also from Dusty Attic and simply sponged it on it adds a bit of a grunge look. I cut down the Triangle panel a bit and added my photo on top of it with a piece of cardboard for dimension and placed it on my background paper. I then started playing around with my design by placing all the other chipboard pieces around my photo. I also made some flowers from white mulberry paper and dies and sprayed them with some Kaisercraft spray ink to match the colours of my layout. The leaves were die cut from white cardstock and simply coloured with some distress ink. Once I was happy with y design I stuck it all down with my trusty glue gun using lots of layering.

Altered Paintbrush - Anat Weksler - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello crafty souls!

Anat here today with my Altered project inspired by the Bright & Joyful Moodboard for January challenge.

My altered Paint Brush was rather simple to create and the out come is fantastic due to the amazing chipboards I chosen to use.

I cover the Paint Brush with Finnabair Metalique Paint - Silver spoon, added dry brush of white gesso and finally added texture with Finnamair's Icing Paste - White Gold.

To the Bristles I added Blue, Yellow and White gold.

The Lacey Trims, Ornate Corner #6, Geo-Tribal Motif #1 were painted with Finnabair's Metalique Pure Sunshine and rubbed with Finnabair's Blue Lagoon Wax.

The Fancy Accents #1 was painted with Finnabair's Metalique Light patina and the mini Art Stones added to it were rubbed with Finnabair's Vintage Gold Wax.

DA 1623 - Fancy Accents #1

The metal pieces were painted with Metalique Deep waters paint and rubbed with Finnabair's White Gold.

Hope I inspired you to make one for yourself!

Picture Perfect - Michelle Van Oudshoorn - January Mood Board Inspiration

Hello Dusty Attic fans

Today I am up on the blog with a take on this month's cheerful and delightful January moodboard

Isn't this lovely? So bright and happy! I have done a layout with some photos of my daughter. Here is my take on the January moodboard

I have started with some stenciling on the background paper using the Dusty Attic Creative Script stencil . Using the smaller frame from the Floral Frame Set #2, and colouring this with the Creative Expressions Gilding polish, and adhered this to the page. I have used the wooden grain frames from the Frame Medley, and painting these with pale yellow paint.

I adhered these frames to the floral frame, before adding fussy cut flowers and mini leaves, and tucking in a mini clock painted with yellow paint.

I have painted the butterfly, and then bent the wings up slightly before adhering to the frame.

The title Picture Perfect is also painted with Creative Expressions Gilding polish.

I have then finished off the layout by brushing on some dry yellow pastels around the photos and flowers and over the stenciling.

These are the products I have used:

DA2385

DA2338

DA1188

DA1053

Thank you for popping over to visit.

Till next time,
