Lots of Inspiration form Valia Katzaki

Hello Dusty Attic friends! 

Its's Valia Katzaki on the blog today to show you my last creations for Dusty Attic... Dusty Attic was a dream come true for me ever since I started scrapping years back. I would have never thought that one day I would be part of this team! Jennifer and Jen you showed trust in me and for that I am forever grateful!!!!



On to my projects now!
For my last post, I created two photo folders. They hold lots of photos and they can be heavily decorated on the outside.  I used an ATC embossed in black EP as a frame for the hidden magnetic closure.



The title was also heat embossed with Lindy's EP. I used the Bedazzled stencil with Finnabair graphite paste for the cover.


The frame was decorated with various Finnabair art ingredients glued on the frame with Dusty Clear Varnish.


For the inside part of the photo folder, I wanted flat embellishments so I used a mini butterfly on top of a sticker and inked it in vintage pink.




This is the secong photo folder, similar to the first. I used another ATC frame and the Creative Script stencil.


To give extra durability to the attached paper butterfly, I covered it with Clear Varnish and then sprinkled black fine glitter on top of it. ATC frame is heat embossed with black EP and the title is heat embossed with Lindy's EP. Glass glitter and microbeads were glued with Clear Varnish.


The inside pockets are better flat so I opted for some inking through the Butterflight stencil.

"Capture this moment" layout
This is a boys grungy layout with my youngesgt son. My talented friend and fellow teammie Lisa Nazario-Gregory was super kind to photoshop his photo and now it looks industrial and unique! 

 
All Dusty Attic cogs are heat embossed with Lindy's Stamp Gang embossing powder. 



The title was painted with Dusty in Color Alabaster. After that it was given a coat of Dusty in Color Denim and then I immediately wipped it with a baby wipe so the darker color may stay only inside the letters.

You & Me - Valia Katzaki - Mood Board Inspiration

 
Hello Dusty Attic friends! 

This is Valia Katzaki on the blog today to show you my interpretation of our December moodboard.
 
 
 
I decided to create a dark, mysterious, full of sublte texture canvas. Here's what I came up with. 
 

I cut thick chipboard at the desired size and painted it with black gesso. I then applied DA texture paste over the Butterfly stencil and glued my title, frame ...
 

I applied a thick layer of texture paste directly on my canvas with a spatula and then I pressed an embossing folder on it to create debossed texture. 
 


I used Dusty in Color Soot, Alabaster and Cloud to paint my canvas. 

 Layers and layers of Dusty in Colour, Clear Crackle Paste and Graphite Paste. 
 


I painted the "Hear Flourish" with Dusty in Colour Soot and then gave it a coat of Dusty Clear Crackle Varnish. 



The "you and me" title was painted with various Lindy's Stamp Gang mists.
