My Sister, my Friend - Jaqueline Moore

Hi everyone!!! It's my turn to share with you again today, and this time I have a gorgeous, fun layout to share with you. I have gone quite out of my comfort zone with this one, using a few big pieces of chipboard, which I almost never do, along with some smaller pieces which are more me.

'My Sister My Friend'

The photo is of my nieces Alyssa, and Violet..... I adore this photo, and it seems to be the perfect match for the mood of the page. 

I have painted my background then placed the medium sized frame from the String Of Hearts Frame set directly onto my background, before priming it with Gesso, and adding color with Twinkling H20's. I have added my paper layers and photo in the center, framing them. 

Some details:

 I have painted 2 feathers from the Mini Feathers set with Dusty Attic Paint in Alabaster. I have applied it really thickly giving an enamel look, then dipped the feathers in Chunky Gold Glitter while the paint was still wet. I have placed them end to end, one on top of my flowers the other tucked beneath.

 The beautiful watercolor on the String of Hearts frame.

 Here I have used a banner that I cut from Banners#1 along with another from Dusty Attic that was exclusively for an event I attended last year to raise money for Telethon. I have covered them both using the same paper I have used in my layers, then layered them on the String Of Hearts frame below my photo.

I have layered a Dream Catcher (#2) on some flowers and my paper layers for added dimension. The entire Dream Catcher was primed white with gesso to begin, then I painted the netting in the center with 13 Arts Gold Glitter Paint. The frame on the top net has been covered with white and silver twine, then wrapped in sparkly gold thread to give the appearance of the netting being tied around the frame. I have layered a couple of flowers and bow on top.

 I have layered the Dream Catcher on a Doily (Doily #1), that I have painted
white with gesso to help separate it from the background.

 I have painted all the feathers on the Dream Catcher with blue and green Twinkling H2O's, blending the color together then drawn on top with a white gel pen little lines to create a feathered effect.

I have painted all the dangling string with twinkling H2O's in Purple and wrapped the longest of them in Sparkly Turquoise thread, and placed a little blue rose on top to finish. 

I have propped up the longer 3 pieces of the Dream Catcher on a Prima Rose so that the whole piece sat level.

That's it from me today!!! I hope you all enjoyed!!!

Here is the gorgeous mood board this month.

It's almost the end of "love" month and I'm here to share a layout using some gorgeous Meg's Garden papers and lots of BRAND NEW Dusty Attic chipboard.  This layout was inspired by the February DA mood board and... who says you can't use Christmas papers all year long? They are just so pretty!

On all of the chipboard I splattered DA's Navajo White DA0903 paint and topped it with DA Clear Crackle DA0900 Varnish.  This is a really easy way to achieve a nice rustic look. The title is from the DA1170 pack.

A very Elegant Swirl DA1123 complements the papers.

More pretty chipboard from the Elegant Swirl DA1123 pack - and some beautiful DA Bridal Veil DA0805 blooms too!

 

I hope everyone was spoiled with love this month!

Hey Dusty Attic fans!!! It's Jacqueline here today to quickly share with you my take on this month's moodboard. With February being the so-called 'month of love', I have used the colors and the word passion from the moodboard to create a pretty card.

 

'Passion'

 

I have used lots of gorgeous DA chippies combined with some 13 Arts papers and mediums.

Some details:

I have cut a small banner banner from Banners #1 and covered it with some patterned paper, layering it on my card on top of some triangle paper banners I cut. I have topped it with a bow and some twine.

For my title I have taken the word 'Passionately' from the live beautifully set and cut off the 'ately', leaving me with the word Passion. I have painted it with Gesso, and sprinkled with Chunky Gold Glitter, before layering on top of my flower cluster.

Above my flower cluster I have added a butterfly from the Flutterbies #3..... I really love these butterflies and use them all the time :-) I have painted it with Gesso, and then dabbed a few colors of mist on, very lightly, using my finger.

I have taken the smallest of the frames from the String Frames small set, and painted it with a combination of Gesso and Gold Paint. I have placed it on some calico on my background, and built my composition into it. 

The little scroll on the lower right side of the frame is actually the top of a key from the Vintage Keys set, that my Son decided to pull off another page breaking it off. At first I planned to just throw it out, but it managed to get lost on my desk, and I am glad as it was the perfect finishing touch for my card. It has been painted with Gesso, Gold Glitter Paint, and sprinkled with Chunky Gold Glitter.

I hope you enjoyed my post!!! I will be back in a few days with more!!!

Beautiful - Jaqueline Moore - Canvas

Hi everyone!!! It's my turn to share with you here at Dusty Attic today, so I thought I would share with you a canvas I made. I have been quite addicted to making canvases lately, perhaps it is because my Mom claims each and every one I finish, and I'm hoping she will let me keep one for myself ;-).... 

'Beautiful'

 

 I have used all my favorite girly colors on this canvas along with some of my favorite 'girly' pieces of chipboard, at least girly in my opinion!!

Some details:

 I have taken one of the larger swirls from Elegant swirl #3 and painted it white. I then layered it on top of my flower cluster, adding a few more flowers on top. I then spritzed it with a touch of Pink Mist, though it is a little hard to see it in this photo as it is very faint.

On top of the Swirl I have placed a large Butterfly from the Flutterbies #3 set, simply painted white with gesso, using my finger for a slightly bumpy texture and sprinkled with gold glitter while it was still wet.

I have placed a second smaller butterfly near the top of the canvas to create movement.

I have taken 2 large swirly leaves from the Foliage set, completely covering both in white liquid pearls for beautiful shimmer, before adding some 13 Arts Microspheres and mists in a few colors. I have placed them next to each other with the ends touching, one facing up, and one facing down to create a little flourish across the canvas.

For the title I have taken the word 'Beautifully' from the 'Live Beautifully....' set, and cut off the 'ly' at the end so I just had the word 'Beautiful'. I used my finger to paint it with gesso, then placed it on top of the second 'Foliage' leaf. I have added a few small sections of color to it, but chose to leave most of it white so that it stood out from the leaf.

I hope you enjoyed my post!!! You can find more of my work here on my blog!!!

Here is what I came up with:

'Live and Dream Together'

I have taken my inspiration from the blue and brown/golden colors on the mood-board, though the thing that inspired me most was the Jetty in the image. It really reminded me of Dusty's 'Old Wooden Fence' chipboard, and I created my layout around this one element that I just had to use on my page.

Some close-ups:

 I have taken some of the 'Old Wooden Fence' small, painting it all white with gesso, then using a combination of Acrylic paints, Micro-bead's, and some very fine sand colored embossing powder which I glued down instead of melting, to create a weathered timber look. I have glued the rails to the back, arranging each panel in a crooked way, adding to the effect.

 I have added a Mini Birdcage #2 beneath my photo, mounting it up on a flower. I have used my finger to dab gesso on, then sprinkled some gold embossing powder into the wet gesso. I also added a touch of 13 Arts Gold Glitter Paint. The leafy stem coming down next to it is actually the smaller of the 2 frames in the Vine Frames #2 set. I decided that it was the perfect size to cut into smaller pieces, creating small leafy branches which I have used around the page.

 I have taken the words 'Live' and 'Dream' from the 'Live Beautifully...' set and painted the white with gesso before dabbing on some mist with my finger. I have placed the word 'Live' above the fence, whilst placing 'Dream' below, layered on top of a small corner scroll from the Elegant Swirls #3. The scroll has been painted with Egyptian Gold Twinkling H2o's, and 13 Arts Gold Glitter paint.

 Here you can see a Seagull I have painted with Acrylic paints to make it look a little more realistic, tucking it amongst the flower cluster to the left of my photo.

 I have added the largest frame from the 'String Frames small' set around the photo, with one side sitting above the photo, and the other half sitting behind. I have simply painted it white with gesso.

There is also a really small section of Chicken Wire Panel beneath the flowers and papers above the photo. I colored it in black with a marker.

Lots of dimension as always!! I love building up layers and layers with papers, flowers and gorgeous pieces of chipboard tucked in!!!

That's it from me today. I hope you have enjoyed my post and found something here to inspire you!!! You can check out more of my work on my blog here.

Hi everyone!  I'm so happy to be sharing with you all my first layout using the NEW Limited Edition 'Nyhavn' collection by Maja Design! I really love the sunny, pretty colors in this collection, and when I saw the nautical elements in the papers, I knew that I had found the perfect papers to scrap a photo I took of my niece and her hubby.

 

The colours and theme are perfect for the Mood Board for this month as well

 

 

 

Hi everyone!  I'm so happy to be sharing with you all my first layout using the NEW Limited Edition 'Nyhavn' collection by Maja Design!  I really love the sunny, pretty colors in this collection, and when I saw the nautical elements in the papers, I knew that I had found the perfect papers to scrap a photo I took of my niece and her hubby.

 

 My niece's reception was at a yacht club, and she chose nautical elements for her decor.  Add to that, her wedding colors where orange and blue, two colors that are prevalent in this lovely collection. So this collection was just the ticket to get this photo scrapped!

 

I used 'The Sunny Side' paper as my base and dabbed a little Ingvild Bolme chalk inks (Rusty Keys, Vintage Pink) around my photo area and the small cluster in the top right side of the page.  I then added a bit of texture with some home-made texture paste and a few Crafters Workshop Stencils (North Star, Art Is, Time Travel).

   

I mounted this paper on the 'Sitting at the Dock' paper, I also used this paper as the matting behind my photo. I cropped  it to look like uneven pieces of weathered board. All the chipboard I used on this page is from Dusty Attic (Elegant Swirl #3, Elegant Swirl 13, Word Pack #4, Skeleton Clock Frames). I kept the chipboard bare with just touches of grey and white to stay with the weather wood look of the papers. I also did a little bit of stamping with a Graphic45 'By The Sea' stamp set.
