Remember Today - Heather McMahon - Mood Board inspiration

Hello Dusty Attic friends! It's Heather McMahon here today to share my layout made using the gorgeous May moodboard as my inspiration.

I went all out on the Dusty Attic products on this one! I've used Dusty Attic paints, chippies and stencils.

I treated the title with gold paint then added Tinby Designs Metallic Melts to just the second word for extra interest.

I love the new Dusty Attic chippie tabs. They're so versatile! The feather is a real one I found in the paddock. I sprayed it to match the page.

The flourish came up really well with just a simple coat of gesso then a few gold highlights.

The Dusty Attic products I used are:

Mini Captions #2

Stars #2, DA0937

Ornate Corner #13, DA1137

Mini Tabs #2, DA1463

Creative Script Stencil, DA1494

Stars Stencil

Dusty in Colour Paints in Dusty Pink,

Sugar Plum, Jungle Green and Soot.

I sure hope you can join in our challenge this month!

Happy scrappin'!

Dream - Rajni Chawla - Mood Board Inspiration

Good morning all!!

A loud and a big Hello to all my Dusty Attic fans. I am back after a long time. Missed to inspire you last month due to my ill health. I am feeling better now and trying to get back to my regular routine.

There's no denying that your kids are like a reflection of your younger self. And when I look at my daughter, I can't help but believe in this fact even more. She's almost exactly like me in every respect - a little confused about what she has to do, over enthusiastic about everything and fascinated by all forms of art. That said, these days, rarely does she enter my craft room and to help me along with project because of her exams. But whenever she does, she ends up creating a masterpiece. Something similar happened this time as well.

I was just thinking about how to start this project when she came and offered to help me. Guess what...She herself decided what she wanted to create. The project that I am sharing today with you all is 80 percent made by her. I was trying not to disturb her as I knew, she is very moody and she might leave everything and go. The way she was selecting chipboards and the way she was looking at the mood board and selecting colors….it was really an amazing feeling for me….as if she is filling up all my dreams. She created an art journal for herself. Here are the details.

Here is the gorgeous May Mood Board

List of Dusty Attic products used:

Dusty in Colour Navajo White

Dusty in Colour Resin

Dusty in Colour Dusty Pink

Dusty in Colour hot Chocolate.

DA Texture Paste

Here are the picture details.

Full View:

Look at the gorgeous assembling of all the elements. Loved the super grungy collection of Dusty Attic chippies and the word chippies. Beautifully layered one on top of each other.

All the chipboards were first primed with heavy white gesso and then textured using DA Texture Paste. She has used DA Blueprint DREAM to create the title of her art journal.Different layers were created using DA Cogs #1, DA Jumbo Cogs and DA Nuts and Bolts set The main focal image is created using DA Feather Charm #2 . Feather Charm is dusted with clear glitter using soft gel.

Though she also created textures with DA Clockwork Stencil also but it's hardly visible on the front cover but it shows perfectly on the back of the journal.

look at the beautiful textures she gave on chipboards. Dusty Attic Paints used are Dusty in Colour Navajo White, Dusty in Colour Raisin, Dusty in Colour Dusty Pink, Dusty in Colour hot Chocolate.

Little more close up showing more texture details...

She added few pearls to add extra beauty to the project.

All the Dusty Attic products are listed and linked directly to the website for you reference.

Hope you all liked her first attempt.

Do leave some love to build up her confidence.

I recently launched my new website and joined Heartfelt Creations Design Team.Also, created lots of mix media projects using gorgeous Dusty Attic chippies. To view, you can visit my website here, here, and here. Or you can visit my blog.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Escape - Valia Katzaski - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello Dusty Attic fans!

This is Valia Katzaki and I am here to share with you my May layout for our sweet and feminine moodboard. This is my interpretation of it.

Our May moodboard

All chipboard pieces were first primed with gesso.

The feathers were first painted with Dusty in Color Navajo White and then misted with mist made from Finnabair Peach Opal Mica powder. When completely dry, I carefully painted the center of the feathers with Dusty in Color Raisin.

The Swirly frame was randomly painted with Prima chalk edger ink in Old Rose and on top it was given a thick coat of Dusty in Colour Clear Crackle Varnish. The thick coat resulted in one large crackle that followed the swirly lines of the frame.

The layered accents chipboard was painted with Fabrica Decora Metallic paint and then misted with Opal Peach Finnabair mica.

The flowers were misted in the middle only with Lindy's Stamp Gang Wild Honeysuckle Coral and then they were completely saturated with Opal Peach Finnabair mica mist. They shine beautifully!

The ticket was painted in Dusty in Colour Navajo White and when dry, I painted over with Dusty in Colour Raisin and immediately brushed it off with a baby wipe. This gave it a worn look and also allowed the paint to fill in the engraved letters. After that it was randomly misted with Finnabair rust mica mist and treated with some microbeads.
