Chasing Rainbows - Adri Du Preez

  Hello everyone!

Welcome to the blog today. My December design team layout features beautiful Dusty Attic clouds, umbrellas, and a rainbow.  For this layout, I used pattern paper from the 49 and Market Spectrum Sherbet collection.  I used the B-side of the Butterfly Flight for its beautiful bright colors.

This is my granddaughter Mila playing outside with her umbrella after it rained.  This was such a fun layout to make.

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

The title, rainbow, and umbrellas were painted in Bubble Gum Pink, Boysenberry Pink, Sour Apple, Peaches 'n Cream, Whispering Turquoise, and Pineapple. I used the end of a thin paintbrush to make the dots on the umbrellas and then dry brushed with white acrylic paint.

I dry brushed the edges of the clouds with Grey Storm and Whispering Turquoise.

The two Daily #words were heat embossed with white embossing powder.

The Page Pebble was painted in Whispering Turquoise and dry brushed with white acrylic paint.

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

Hello again!  I hope you are well and safe.  Jo here to share with you some Dusty Attic goodness.

I  have a layout to share today featuring some wonderful Dusty Attic chippy and a special pic of my Mumma bear and I.  We don't often take pics of us together generally because we are on the other end of the camera.  This one was special as we celebrated her 70ish birthday with a surprise morning tea at home with a few of her dear friends.

I started with my photo and some paper layers and then added some of the chipboard doilies which were heat embossed with gold.  I then sat the whole lot on top of the Bali Border #2 which was also heat embossed.  On top of the Bali Border is the Vine Corner which I used more like a flourish than a corner.

I added a little umbrella to the blossoms and adhered the Best Friends title to the top of the blossoms too.

To add a little more texture I added the stitched lines chipboard which I just covered with white gesso for a pop of colour.

Here are some close ups for you.
