Timeless Moments - Judith Tijsen - Mood board Inspiration

Hello dear Dusty Attic fans,

Last year has flown by and here we are in 2023. 

I immediately threw myself on the beautiful mood board for this month's challenge.

 I made a wonderful spring-like layout for this, 

because that's what this colour combination naturally asks for.

Used Dusty Attic chipboard:

DA1981 - Fancy Frames #4

DA1815 - Mini Tags #3 Black

DA2572 - Bluebells #1

DA0727 - Mini Birds #3

DA0685 - Mini Scrolls #1

You could win one of two $50 AUD credits to the Dusty Attic online store. The only requirement is that you have Dusty Attic chipboard on your creation and enter your project on the Dusty FANattics Page.

Happy Easter cards - Belinda Spencer

 Hello Dusty Attic fans and Happy Easter!

It's Belinda here with you today to share my latest project featuring some fabulous Dusty Attic products. This time I am sharing 6 altered project life cards with an Easter theme.

I started by swiping acrylic paint on to my backgrounds. I use a mix of bought project life cards and ones I have created myself from whatever scraps of cardstock/paper/packaging I have laying around.

After I paint the cards, I then add collage and stencilling. This time I used some Ranger Texture Paste along with the Dusty Attic stencils. Once the stencilling was dry, I went over it with a white Posca Paint Pen to make it brighter.

Here are the completed cards.

I layer some messy thread and patterned paper scraps on the cards before adding the chipboard. I have a box full of collage material. Whenever I am creating as project the leftovers go in the box and then I can just shuffle through the box for little bits and pieces when I need to.

I added some white gesso to a scrap of the Corrugated Card and tore it into pieces so I could add a little to each card.

I kept some chipboard pieces in their raw unaltered form.

Some chipboard pieces I painted with a few coats of white gesso. If I feel the gesso is not bright enough then I add white Posca Pen on top as well.

For some pieces I used paint pens on them to add a little colour.

These cards are so fun to make and I can't wait to use them for something. I think these would make lovely card fronts for Easter cards. It is also a great way to use up various chipboard pieces from different sets.

Winter Delights - Mixed Media canvas - Kerstin Filou

 

Welcome creative friends!

Welcome into the new year, 

wish you a year full of fun and joy in creative work !

It's wintertime here, cold, snow and ice have us again fully in the grip. 

Snow shovelling is again announced, an occupation  not always great joy arises, our dog sees that but quite different, he is completely thrilled by the snow broom and would like to sit on top and push along.

 

 

 

I created a mixed media layout with lots of snow and ice crystals, not to forget a bird house, which is especially popular in winter in our garden.

 

I found a lot of suitable theme shapes at Dusty Attic,

love the 3d optic of the bird house and the nature inspired chippies.

 

I worked mainly with white gesso and added a few color accents with diluted blue acrylic paint and a little brown. I also used die-cuts, which together with the chipboards bring more vividness and fullness to the layout. 

To bring more depth to the project, dried wood slices and branches were used.
