You colour my World - Rikki G - Sketch Challenge inspiration

 Good morning how are you? Geez September is just flying by..... I am here today to share my take on the second part of this months Dusty Attic Challenge, this time its for those who love sketches.

To start off the layout I cut the Botanical Ringlet, so its more like an open circle.

And I gave it a little distress with a sanding block to help break up the layers of white chipboard.

Dont be afraid to cut the Larger Wisteria apart so you can curve them and give  some direction to them.

Distress the Dusty Attic Chipboard title.

Clusters some Mini Pumpkins together to add another layer and interest.

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.

Discover new places - Adri Du Preez

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the blog today.  I used beautiful Dusty Attic travel chippies and the paper is from the 49 and Market Vintage Artistry Anywhere collections for this layout.  In this blog post, I feature my grandson James, or Baby James as his cousins Mila and Janco call him. The day they immigrated to Australia, his dad took this photo at the OR Tambo Airport. The planes fascinated him.  It is a very special photo for me.  Everything about this little boy makes me miss him.  The sound of his voice, the way he laughs, his hugs, and his smell.

Here is my layout.

All the chippies were first covered with a layer of white gesso, except for the arrows and the camera.

It was so much fun coloring the chippies. I used Americana Acrylic paints to match the background paper.

Isn't the little passport adorable? And the suitcases are amazing with their handles and locks. 

All the different travel icons are stunning.  

 I raised some of the chippies on foam tape.

To finish off my layout I added enamel dots and,  splatters with diluted white gesso.

Great Outdoors - Lynette Jacobs - Mood Board Inspiration

Lynette here, welcome to the blog today. I am sharing my take on the February mood board. I used photos that we took on a hike of Robberg Nature reserve.  It is so beautiful where the ocean meets the mountain.

The February Mood board

Dusty Attic product used on this project:

Word Pack 35

Beaded flourish

Bubbles stencil

Daily #

Weather

Weather icons

Tabs and starbursts

Clouds

Mini compass

Some close up images of the page:

I first applied some Antique Linen distress ink through the bubbles stencil to break the white background. The compass was dry brushed with white acrylic paint.

The beaded flourish and words # was heat embossed with white embossing powder. I then applied some Nuvo glitter drops to the beads.

I just love the little life unscripted embellishments and made a little cluster of them in the corner.  They were all painted with acrylic paint.

The Great Outdoors title was heat embossed with a Lindy's embossing powder. We would love to see your take on our moodboard.  Don't forget to share your projects on our Facebook page.
