Just Because - Pascale B Scrap - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello Sweeties,

Today I am up on Dusty Attic blog with a new panel inspired by the vibrant color of the June color combo.

Here is the gorgeous color combo for June

I added two designs with the Paper paste with the Ledger Stencil and the Circuit Stencil. When the Paper paste was dry, I added the white crackle paste. I was careful to remove the crackle paste on top of the design as I want it to be seen.

While the crackle paste was drying, I primed the chipboard with white gesso. I painted them with liquid acrylic paints. The Foliage #7 was painted in Violet, the Foliage Cluster #3 with Nude and Tiger Orange, and the String Frame and the Word Disc #1 in Coral.

I painted the background with the different colors I used to paint the chipboard.

When happy with the background, I cut the largest String Frame in two and add the title at one of the ends. Next, I added the flowers and the different foliage.

To finish the composition, I added some glitter.

Ledger Stencil DA1891	String Frames Small DA1185	Circuit Stencil DA1322

Sunset are proof ... - Lynette Jacobs - Mood Board Inspiration

Lynette here, welcome to the blog today. I am sharing my take on the April mood board. I used a photo taken on my 61st birthday this year. I used one of our local South African Brands, Penelope Dee Sienna collection for this page.

The Mood board:

Dusty Attic chipboard used:

Some close up details:

I created a very simple design. I used a patterned paper with large florals as a background paper and cut strips of two matching patterned papers and border punched it before adding it to the middle of the large floral paper. I heat embossed all my chipboard elements in various matching colours. I chose a very light embossing powder for the phrase strips.

The Mystic flourish was first embossed with white embossing powder and then with Tinby pink sorbet metallic Melts. Love the effect.

The string frame was also heat embossed in white and then the Tinby pink sorbet Metallic Melts. I then attached to clusters of fussy cut florals and leaves to the side of the string frame to frame the photo.

I love the way the string frame with the florals draw your attention to the photo.

Why not enter the Mood Board challenge yourself? All you need to do is add your take of the challenge into the comments section on the Dusty FANattics Facebook page HERE for your chance to win one of two amazing $50 Credits to choose any. Good Luck and have fun creating.

Hello Summer - Adri Du Preez - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello everyone!

Here is my project inspired by the beautiful July mood board. My project is filled with beautiful Dusty Attic nautical chippies, flowers and die cuts.

Here is the mood board.

and here is my project.

All the chippies were primed with white gesso.

I painted the edges of the title, seagulls, mini skeleton fish, sand dollars, wordpl@y and driftwood with Americana Acrylic Paint in Slate Grey and Grey Storm. I inked the edges of the driftwood and wordpl@y with Black Soot Distress Oxide.

The lighthouse was first covered with coarse gesso which gave the walls a lovely textured look. Once dried I covered it with white acrylic paint. I then dabbed grey and brown ink on the coarse parts to make it stand out more. I inked the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide.

I painted the jelly fish with Americana Acrylic paint in True Ochre, Bahama Blue and Georgia Clay and dry brushed with white acrylic paint. I love these chippies, even more after watching the documentary My Octopus Teacher.

I painted the Compass Rose with Art Alchemy Liquid Acrylic in Umber, Burnt Sienna and Ink Black, dry brushed with white gesso and lightly rubbed with Art Alchemy Wax in Rich Copper.

I covered the string frame with Americana Acrylic Paint in Bahama Blue and dry brushed with white gesso.
