Live with Passion - Mary Tzalla - With VIDEO TUTORIAL

Hello Dusty Attic fans!

Today I would like to share a new layout with a video tutorial made for my April inspiration. To create my page I used Maja Design papers from the gorgeous ''I
Wish'' collection along with several gorgeous Dusty Attic chipboards and beautiful 49 and Market flowers. 

As always I found my photo on Pinterest and this one inspired me to create a steampunk page with a romantic and mysterious feeling. But, before I continue more I want to give all the proper credits to the ''unknown'' photographer.

You can watch all the procedure here…

 For my project, I chose the ''I Wish - those memories will last'' paper from the ''I Wish''
collection. To start, I applied a coat of clear gesso and then, I
created texture with an icing paste and a stencil. Then, I randomly stamped and used Lindy’s Gang sprays to add color.

Next, I applied brown rust paste on the pieces from the ''Skeleton Clock
Faces'' and gently rubbed some Finnabair White and Vintage Gold waxes. I've also applied the same paste on the ''Cog Cluster'' and the ''Industrial Hearts'' chipboards and then sprayed them with the Lindy's Gang ''Whale Watch Blue'' spray.

 The ''Tribal Arrows #2'', the ''Geo Tribal Arrows#1'' and the title words from the ''Mini Words #1 & #2'' sets were painted with the Finnabair Rustic Braun acrylic paint.

Then, I layered all the gorgeous elements around my photo and added in some 49 and Market flowers from the ''Botanical Blends & Potpourri – Marina'' sets.

Imagination - Mary Tzalla with Video Tutorial

Hello dear friends!

Mary with you today and I have a new layout with a video tutorial to share with you. I made it with some of my favorite chipboards where placed around a beautiful photo I found on Pinterest. 

When I saw it I
knew I had to scrap it and the Dusty Attic chipboards along with Maja Design papers were just perfect for it. But, before I continue more I want to give all the proper credits to the ”unknown” photographer.

You can watch all the procedure here...

Video Tutorial 

I choose for my page the ''Worn Indigo'' paper from the Maja Design Denim & Friends collection. I started by applying a coat of clear gesso on the background and then I created texture with modeling paste and a stencil.

 Made some stamping here and there and used a Lindy's Gang spray to add color.

Next, I painted all the chipboards starting with the ''Skeleton Clock Faces'' frame which was painted with the Finnabair Silver Spoon acrylic paint. The piece from the ''Leafy Frame set #2'' and the chippies from the ''Foliage #8'' were also painted with the Finnabair Rustic Brown paint.

  When everything was glued down I added some art stones and glass beads. The final touch was made with some splatters with white acrylic ink.

So Much Goodness - Mary Tzalla

 Hello Dusty Attic fans!

Today with you Mary, and I have a new project to show you, a beach inspired frame. 

I loved the soft and fresh color palette of last months mood board so much and the photo inspired me to create a sea themed project. 

 To start I gave a coat of white gesso on the frame and then I applied Finnabair stone effect paste to create texture. I also made a pattern with modeling paste and a stencil on the background. Next, I added color with Finnabair acrylic paints. 

 

 I heat embossed the ''Port Holes'' and the ''Swirly Vine #2'' chipboards with the Stampendous Frantage Aged Teal embossing powder.

 The chipboards from the ''Shells #3'', the ''Starfish #2'', the ''Sand
Dollars'' and the title from the ''Mini Captions #10'' were also
embossed with the Stampendous Frantage Aged Ivory powder.

 

When everything was glued down I added some art stones and glass beads.

Happiness - Mary Tzalla - VIDEO TUTORIAL

Hello Dusty Attic fans!

 Today with you Mary with my October's inspiration and a video tutorial for you! I made a romantic canvas in pink and purple tones with lots of flowers and gorgeous chipboards.

Here are some close ups...

I created the base with a paper from 13arts Art Journey collection. To create an interesting background I applied some modeling paste through a stencil and then heat embossed the pattern. Also I made some stamping here and there and again heat embossed the pattern to have even more textured background. Then, I used some sprays to add color. 

 Next step was to emboss and paint all the chipboards. I started with the ''Ornate Motifs #2 '' & ''ATC Frame #7'' which were embossed with the Lindy's Gang EP ''Midnight Ruby''.

 The ''Hashtag Sayings'', the ''Mini Clock Faces'' & ''Page Pebbles #9'' were also embossed with the Lindy's EP ''Angel Wings Ruby''.

I painted the ''Doodads #4'' & the ''Ornate Motifs #2'' with the Finnabair Sparks ''Iris Potion'' paint. Then I randomly rubbed a little Rose Gold wax.

 When everything was glued down I added some art stones and glass beads and made some splatters with white gesso.

I prepared a step-by-step video tutorial and you can watch it here so you can see all the details.

Freeze Frame - Mary Catt - VIDEO TUTORIAL (Mood Board Inspiration)

Hello dears! 

Today I'm back and I have a new layout and I
have also prepared a video tutorial to share with you. My layout is based on our beautiful September's moodboard.

The beautiful
photos of the board gave me inspiration to create a page in green and brown
shades with an autumnal feeling using some of our gorgeous chipboards.

Some detailed
photos...

I used a Maja Design paper for my background. I created some texture by
applying

paper texture paste through a stencil and then I heat embossed the pattern. To
add more interest I made some more stenciling with the ''ABC Stencil'' and some
more paper texture paste. Then, I added color with some sprays.

 

I continued by embossing
the chipboards from the ''Drift Wood #1'' and the ''Drift Wood #2'' with the
Lindy's Gang Bratwurst Brown EP.

The title from the ''Mini Captions #10'' and the ''Wordpl@y #3'' with
the Lindy's Golden Angel Wings EP. Then I randomly rubbed a little White Gold
wax.

I colored the ''Wood Slices'' chipboards with the Archival Coffe ink.

When everything was glued down I added some art stones and glass beads
and made some splatters with white gesso.

VIDEO TUTORIAL
