Why stop Dreaming? - Pascale B Scrap

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a layout. 

Photo: @ArtHouseWhimsy

I primed the paper with clear gesso before adding a design with the Starring Night stencil and 3G Gloss Gel. Before the gel dried, I sprinkled some clear glitter.

I primed all the chipboards I'd selected with white gesso and then covered them with White Pearl wax. 

I added French Lavender wax on top of the  Christmas Berries #1. 

I used the Old Denim wax to accent the middle of the Poinsettia #2 and the fruits of Foliage #22.

I added a few tags under the photo and layered them with the chipboards.

Magical Moments - Adri Du Preez

 Hello everyone!

Welcome to the blog today. 

My December design team layout and the last layout for 2023 are filled with beautiful Dusty Attic Christmas chipboard pieces.

  

I hope your Christmas Day was everything you expected and more. I love everything about Christmas, especially the time that we spend together as a family. 

I would like to wish everyone a very Happy New Year, full of love, light, and blessings!

This layout features my granddaughter Mila.  She was only four months old when I took this photo and it was her first Christmas.

Here is my layout.

I started on the background using the Starry Night stencil with Ranger Distress Oxide in Picked Raspberry.  On my layout, I glued jute and ric rac cut with my Silhouette as if wrapping a Christmas present.

All the chippies were first primed with a layer of white acrylic paint and then painted with Americana Acrylic paint.

I painted the title with Tuscan Red and the mini caption with Hauser Light Green.

What is a Christmas layout without stars?  The stars were painted with Tuscan Red, Boysenberry Pink, and Hauser Light Green, and then lightly rubbed with gold glitter glue.  I then covered all the stars with glossy accents.

The bow was painted with Boysenberry Pink and dry brushed with white acrylic paint.

The ornate and mini Christmas trees were painted with Hauser Light Green and dry brushed with white acrylic paint.

I dry brushed the houses with Slate Grey and the edges with Ranger Black Zoot. Some of the mini stars were glued around the houses.

The final touches to this layout included glitter, and splatters with diluted white gesso.

Angel Heart Mixed Media Panel - Pascale B Scrap

Hello Sweeties,

Today, I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a new mixed media panel for Dusty Attic.

To begin, I primed the canvas board with white gesso. Next, I added two designs with the Circle Dots and Starry Night stencils, and paper paste. I make sure that the paste was completely dry before I covered everything with both white and clear crackle pastes. I didn't try to obtain an even surface as it wasn't what I was looking for, but I make sure that the designs were still visible under the crackle pastes. 

I sprayed the edges of Wings #1 with water to allow the layers of the chipboard to separate to give more dimension to the wings. When done, I primed all the chipboards I'd selected with white gesso. I was careful to keep all the layers of the wings separate when I painted and dried them. 

I used mica powders mixed with a liquid fluid medium and liquid acrylic to paint the chipboards. Then I added some silver wax on top. 

My background was dry, I started to paint it with mica powders mixed with the liquid fluid medium too. Next, I stamped randomly the background and dry brushed some parts with white gesso to remind the background of the photo.

I assembled the composition to my desire and added a touch of white pearl wax to add some light. I kept some part of the middle of the Decorative Frame #4 in order to glue it easily under the photo. 

I decided to add a little cluster on the left side to remind the main cluster.

To finish, I added some glitter.
