Love Always -Adri Du Preez - Mood Board Inspiration

 Hello everyone!

Welcome to the blog. Here is my layout inspired by the June mood board which features beautiful Dusty Attic chipboard pieces. How amazing are these colors together? 

Here is the mood board.

and here is my layout.

All the chippies were first covered with a layer of white acrylic paint, and then painted with Americana Acrylic paint.

I painted the scalloped circle with Orchid and dry-brushed it with white acrylic paint.

Foliage #18, Foliage #28, and Seedlings #2 were painted in Wild Orchid, Orchid, Light Lime, and Peaches 'n Cream and dry-brushed with white acrylic paint.

Leaves #2 were heat embossed with white embossing powder.

The title was also heat embossed with white embossing powder.

I also added elements from the Wordpl@y #2 set, one of my favorite additions to my layouts.

After everything was glued down, I added splatters with diluted white gesso.

EASTER Bunny - Adri Du Preez

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the blog today. My March design team layout features beautiful Dusty Attic 

Easter elements.  This is my daughter with our two bunnies, Oliver and Slipper.

Here is my layout.

All the chippies were first covered with a layer of white acrylic paint, and then painted with Americana Acrylic paint.

I painted the scalloped circle with Boysenberry Pink and dry-brushed it with white acrylic paint.

I painted the title and words with a sponge brush from left to right using Boysenberry Pink, Coral, Pineapple, and Poodleskirt Pink.

The bunny headbands are super cute.  I painted them with white acrylic paint and dry-brushed the edges with Slate Grey.  The inside of the ears was painted with Poodleskirt Pink.

I painted the easter eggs in the same colours as the title and decorated them with Posca pens.

To finish off my layout I added glass beads, glitter, and splatters with diluted white gesso.
