Joy to the World - Deb Stephens - Mood Board inspiration

Hello everyone! It's December and we are counting down until Christmas day!

The Mood Board colours were the inspiration for this little Book Gift Box and really, who needs an excuse to play with the range of Dusty Christmas chippy!

The DA3085 Gothic Arches make a beautiful window frame that is a shaker piece, so there is lots of sparkly snow behind the "glass'' to enhance the winter scene.

I also used DA3182 Christmas Lanterns Small, DA3141 Holly #4, DA2915 Candles Small all painted and waxed up. Glossy accents was added to my berries.

The front of the Book Box was then finished with the painted bricks that popped out from the DA0316 Brick Wall Panel. I finished it off with the "Joy to the world" sentiment from DA2968 Card Sentiments #1 Black.

And because I just can't help myself, I finished off with a few squirts of fake snow. I hope our mood board and makings inspire you to take time out and create during this festive season.

Here is the list of Dusty Attic products used:

Hello Friends...

I am Happy to share these two cards with you as my Dusty Attic Design Team Project for the month. 

I used plain cream Cardstock, distressed the edges with Hickory Smoke Distress Ink and layered them. I used two Dusty Stencils, Butterflight and Threaded Beads with Texture paste for the background. 

I then used Rose Quartz and Fire Opal Color Glow from 13 Arts spritzed with water. I also inked with the Hickory Smoke and splattered with diluted white Gesso. 

I used Chocolate Box Mega Gilding Flakes from Indigo Blue on the Balloons, Creative Script, Dripping of the Candle and the top of the Gingerbread Heart. After Gesso'ing the Candle and base of the Heart, I colored them with the same color glow. 

I inked the two Titles with the Hickory Smoke Ink and embossed them with Kitsch Flamingo Distress Embossing Glaze. 

Thank you for looking at my work this month...

You can find these and many more in the Dusty Attic On-line shop.
