Days like these make me Happy - Tina Ollett - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello once again and welcome to The Dusty Attic.

Tina O with you here today to share my design team creation inspired by this months moodboard here at The Dusty Attic.  There is a $100 dollar Dusty Attic gift voucher for the prize winner. All you have to do is create something using some Dusty Attic goodies and upload it to the blog to be in the running for this fabulous prize. You  can find this gorgeous moodboard below!

And my inspired project from this Moodboard titled,

"Days Like These Make Me Happy"

So okay, I am a little partial to pink these days so I ran with that. The Blue Fern Studios collection of Courtship Lane has mostly purples through the papers but this one piece for me screamed to be used and of course it is mainly pink. 

You can see here above that I have done a little framework with stamps, inks and embossing powders. Had some fun creating this. Such a great technique to add to a layout. 

And then I used a little more of the Blue Fern Studios collection to make a layered matting for my photo as you can see here above.

I have used the Dusty Attic Birdbath and the Marrakesh Trellis along with the Baroque corner. The Marrakesh Trellis was spritzed with a little glimmermist. And the other two pieces of Dusty were gessoed and and inked and dressed with a little Star Dust Stickles to make them sparkle!

I have cut the Marrakesh Trellis in to several pieces to layer along with the matting as you can see above.

I have used the Baroque Corner Frames to co-ordinate with the stamping that I have used on my border. They match pretty much perfectly.

My flower cluster and some added cut out butterflies.

Here you can see the stamping a little more clearer. I have also added over the top of the flourishes some new stamps from Gabrielle Pollacco's Word Stamp Set from 49 and Market. It just added that extra vintage touch to the layout.

And lastly the Duty Attic Word Strip.......I have to say these are my favourite pieces to use of late. They just added the finishing touches to each layout. I have moulded this strip to lay over the top of my large flower here as you can see.

Well that is all from me here today. I hope you can take some time during the week to create a little project using our Moodboard here at The Dusty Attic.

Until next time happy creating.

Snuggles - Lisa Gregory

Hi there! Lisa here with another layout using the gorgeous Dusty Attic chipboard. This time I tried to go simple, and create some white space, but I got a little carried away. I filled my white space with lots of texture. I absolutely love the Ivy Corners chipboard and wanted it to take center stage on the layout. To begin with, I mounted my Prima paper on a piece of 12x12 corrugated cardboard. I gave it a light coat of clear gesso. I used crackle texture paste with a Tim Holtz stencil, then used various colors of Lindys Stamp Gang sprays on the background once the texture was almost dry. 

My daughters new puppy loves to snuggle. I love to snuggle him  back. I grabbed this shot with my webcam the other day when I was puppy sitting.

Before I colored my chipboard pieces, I treated them with a coat of Dusty in Colour Navajo White.

Once the paint dried, I used Lindys Stamp Gang Magicals to color the leaves, then sprayed on some Starburst spray for a 2 toned effect. I love the intricate details in the trendils of the vines.

 

I sprayed the  Cuddles word from the Word Pack #11 set with one of the same colors I used on the background. 

This is just a closeup of the butterfly and flowers.

The butterfly is a Tim Holtz Stamp that I stamped, copied  and edited in Photoshop to get different sizes, then I cut out the different sizes I created and colored with Lindys Magicals. I used the Dusty in Colour Clear Crackle Varnish over the entire butterfly to give it the look of an old vintage brooch. I love the crackles!!

 I hope you get to join us for the Mood Board Challenge this month. It could be your chance to win some Dusty Attic goodies!!

What a Beautiful Mess

Happy Days - Joanne Bain

 Hi Peeps

 

 Just sharing my latest creation created for the April Dusty Attic Mood Board Challenge. The challenge  has an amazing prize of a $100 Dusty Attic Gift Voucher for the winner and to enter you simply need to use the Mood Board for Inspiration, you can interpret it anyway you like. The only requirement is that Dusty Attic chipboard is used in your creation. Once completed simply add your link to the right side bar of the Dusty Attic blog.

  

 So this is the May Mood Board.

>

 This is how I interpreted it..

 

'Happy Days'

 

 

 

 

 I was inspired by the picture there is just something about the beach that is calming and I was also inspired by a few of the colours.

 

 

 

 To create the background I have used the gorgeous Scroll Border #1, I love the flowing feel it gives to the page. I then added 2 Swirly Vines to the top for added dimension.

 
 

 I added some cotton gauze behind the chipboard to add extra texture and softness to the page. I added texture paste and paint to all chipboard. I mixed together some of the Dusty Colours to create a colours that I wanted. Once they were mixed I added quiet a bit of water to the mix so it was more of a light wash of colour rather then having a bold bright colour. 

 

 I added lots of tiny shells to make the page feel a little beachy, they fitted perfectly in the gaps between the chipboard pieces. I added a zipper for the metal piece and a Prima resin corner piece.

 

 

 

 Under the photo I have used a ATC Frame #3, I have cut this in half to make it bigger and then I have added the small string frame from the String Frame set.

Smiles are Free - Helena Johannson

This months inspiration board uses some of my fav colors - different kind of teal and turquoise - just amazing! So, I pulled out some of my fav Dusty Attic chipboard pieces and lots (lots!!) of flowers in different blue shades. This is what I came up with:

 

 

And here is the inspiration board:

 

I have used the Ornate Gate small (DA0189) and Ornate Corner #13 (DA1137), both painted white and then distressed a bit.

 

Now prepare yourself for lots of close-ups!

 

Lots of layering of papers and flowers!

 

"Smiles are free" - I adore my daughters smile!

 

For the background, I painted the Prima paper with some white gesso, then used a stencil with clear gesso and misted with different mists. I have also painted with perfect pearls around the flowers and chipboard.

 

Thank you for stopping by today!

 

xoxo

Hello,today I am here to share with you, a LO I did using Dusty Attics Mood Board for May. I just love the colors in this Mood Board...

The Dusty Attic used:

Branches & Berries

Lavender

Flutterbies #3

Birdcage #7

Marrakesh Trellis small

Zippers

nameplates

Bookman ABC set

mini ABC upper

Dusty in Colour Oceania

Dusty in Colour Storm Cloud

I combined the Vintage Autumn Basics & the Nyhavn Collections, from Maja Design.

Here are some close ups of detail....

I used distressed brushed pewter stain, & crackle on all the chipboard showing the pewter color. I sprinkled on seed beads onto the heads of the lavender,while the crackle was still wet...

I mixed in DA storm cloud into the texture paste,to get the gray in the stencil work...

For the turquoise, I first painted the chipboard with DA Oceania, then I applied turquoise stickles..

I also inked the edges of the chipboard using a charcoal ink pad...

Thank you so much for taking the time to look,& I can't wait to see what you come up with,with this months Mood Board....Rachelle
