Journey - Michelle Van Oudsthoorn

 Hi there!

So excited to be able to play with the new industrial chippies that Dusty Attic have released. There are so many lovely pieces, I didn't know which one to pick first. I eventually did settle on the Marine Mechanical Large Seahorse (DA3359) And then there were several Industrial clusters to choose from!  

I went with creating a canvas. This was covered with a Stamperia rice paper, and then I added some crackle paste, once dry and crackled, I brushed over the cracks with a teal acrylic paint so that the paint would seep into the cracks. I then stamped over the canvas with an archival ink. 

All the chipboard pieces were covered with white gesso before adding paints and stains.

I first added the industrial clusters under the seahorse - these were Industrial Cluster #9 (DA3381), Industrial Cluster #3 (DA3375) and Broken Bits #12 (DA3370). Industrial Cluster #1 (DA3373) is placed at the top left corner. Using mini cogs DA3363, I added dimension to the industrial clusters and the Seahorse, by adding additional cogs. I have also used some mini screw heads (DA2879).

The title is from an older range - Blueprint wordpack (DA2225), still one of my favourite and perfect with the new industrial release.

I have used a mixture of Prima Alchemy Metallique paints and Tim Holtz Stains to colour my chipboard.

These are the products I have used:

I'm on Beach time - Jen Burns - Mood Board Inspiration

 Hello Dusty FANattics 

Today I am sharing my take on this months gorgeous mood board.  I have used photos from January at the Yanchep Lagoon about 5mins from where we live. Ky is loving the beach life, sand, sun and surf ! 

The 49 and Market Vintage Artistry SHORE line is amazing for any beach themed project so of course I used the papers, laser cuts, ephemera stack and wait for it ... the smooth silky Rub-ons mixed with amazing beach themed Chippy was perfecto ! 

Most of my chipboard pieces I have used a combination of inks and heat embossing powders. 

The Seahorse has about 5 different embossing powders to get the shades and colours I wanted.

The shells I have done the same, used different coloured inks then a sprinkling of embossing powders.

The seagulls, title and fishing lure I have used white paint and the hook and fishing net I used the every trusty "Pinecone"

Fish anyone ?

The lighthouse I have coloured using a chunky white embossing powder to give it texture and then the anchor I have also embossed then wrapped twine around it, I have bent and manipulated the chipboard to add dimension to my page, you can just use liquid scrap dots underneath or foam tape to keep the shape.

I have then added some Wishing Bubbles and sandstones to complete my layout. Notice I have used some rubons on my chipboard seahorse and shells and even on my photograph.
