Dreams - Altered Journal cover - Anat Wekslet

 Hello crafty friends!

It's Anat here sharing my new project using fabulous Dusty Attic's Chipboards.

That's my new Journal, I altered the cover in a unique way - I've covered it with a  piece of the amazing large Damask panel. Damask is one of the patterns I absolutley love! as a stencils, stamps and especially made out of chipboard.

I have chosen some favorites chippies to complete the feminine look of the cover, creating a minimalist composition.

All chipboards were covered with black gesso,  brushed with different pastes and finally rubbed with waxes.

Here are the beauties I have used to alter my Dreams Journal:

Just Smile - Anat Weksler

 Hello crafty friends!

Anat here sharing with you my new Canvas using gorgeous Chipboards.

Playing with textures is definitely my thing! I love experimenting new techniques, inventing and testing them. Peeled paint is one of those! That is what I have created in the Canvas background, I loved it so much and decided to go with almost monochromatic project based on muted Pink pastel.

The chipboard were painted in different shades of pink and later gold flakes were added to them. you will be able to see all details in the close-ups photos I added below.

The chipboard I've used are:

Tags and Cards - Patricia Basson

Hi and Hello to all ...

Today I am back celebrating finally moving back into my craftroom again!  I can honestly say that I have so much more respect to everyone working form a small  kitchen table or corner in a room. Having a designated craft area is really such a privilege and I am planning on making the most of it for sure...

I have two Tags and two Cards using gorgeous Dusty Attic pieces to show today. Let's start with the Tags.

I used two giant Tags from Prima. On the background I painted with Raven Black Sparks Acrylic Paint which gave the lovely Silver / Black shimmer. The Broken Bits pieces I covered with Grey Rust effect Paste and a random touch of Antique Gold Mica mist from Nuvo. 

For the Toadstool Border I mixed some vivid Orange paint from 13Arts with a tiny bit of Brown Sugar paint and used it on the top of the Toadstool. For the bottom part I used Green Grey Rust Effect Paste as well as some Vintage Beeswax Embossing Powder. On the Wood slices I used Brown Rust Paste.

 The Seagrass, Wildgrass and Swirl Vine were painted with Brown Sugar Paint from 13Arts and Mission Bells Brown Spray from Lindy's Stampgang.

For decoration I added I'm A-Maized and A Penny Saved Prills.

For the Cards I layered several pieces of Cardstock. I created a background with white Crackle Paste colored with the new 13Arts Color Glows Fire Opal and Golden Calcite.

Whilst sorting and re-organizing my Dusty Attic chipboards I came across these Rose images...I am loving the simplicity of the Designs, so delicate as well.

I used Rose in Bloom and a Rose Stem. They were gesso'd  and painted with Green Goblin and Stormy Ocean Sparks Paint from Finnabair. I cut the Delicate Frame #2 in half and embossed it with Shabby Green embossing powder from Stampendous. The pieces of Mini Foliage are Gesso'd and got a gentle rub of Aged Brass Metallique Wax.

Some Laces and a Shaker box filled with Glitter and Sequences finises the Cards.

All of these Chipboards  are available from the Dusty On-line Shop.

Thank you, till next time.

Two kinds of gratitude,

 The sudden kind we feel for what we take,

 the larger kind we feel for what we give.
