Love these Photos - Gerry Van Gent (Challenge inspiration)

Hello crafty friends!

Gerry's here today sharing my take on this months moodboard.

I must admit that I struggled this month with the colours but I did

challenged myself to create a layout and this is the result. I hope you enjoy.

PRODUCTS  I  USED:

Dusty Attic Chipboard Love These Photos

Dusty Attic Chipboard Mini Bird Cages #2

Dusty Attic Chipboard Mystic Frame #2

Dusty in Colour Clear Crackle Varnish

Dusty in Colour Capri

Dusty in Colour Gingernut

Here are some close-up photos of my project....

The "Mystic Frame" was treated with the gesso and white paint.

I mixed the frame with fussy cut flourish for more interesting look.

I embellished also the Mystic Frame with epoxy stickers and the cute mini bird cage.

For the title I used two paints from Dusty in Colour.

Then I applied the clear crackle varnish.

The word "these" was left only with a layer of gesso.

Other products I used:

"Webster's Pages" Pattern papers

"49 and Market" flowers

Thank you for visiting us today!

Happy Crafting!

DUSTY ATTIC

Hello dear Blogger Friends....

Today I am sharing a page using papers from the Frank Garcia "Love Clippings" range. I also used several of the newer released Dusty Attic chipboard designs. As you can see, I layered several of the papers and also did quite a bit of Hand Stitching.

I used Burnished Brass Moon Shadow Mist from Lindy's Stampgang and I'm A-Maized Prills on the page.

The title 'She Loves' was inked with Fired Brick and Peeled Paint Distress Oxide Inks and topped with Crackle Accents.

The flowers are from 49& Market and Little Birdie.

I treated the Mystic Flourish with Peeled Paint and Vintage Photo Oxide Inks and Crackle Accents, cut it into separate pieces tucked into my flower cluster.

I gesso'd the Doily and inked it with Fired Brick, Peeled Paint and Walnut Stain Oxides. It gave a lovely weathered look to the chipboard.

From the Dusty Attic store I used the following products...

Stay Strong - Nadya Drozdova

Hi everyone! Here is Nadya sharing with you my new LO. Summer in Estonia this year is cool and rainy. Probably, the weather affects the mood. This month I wanted to do something unusual and interesting. I was inspired by clock chippies from Dusty Attic.

 

I chose clock from old and new release. Covered them with black gesso, embossing powders and waxes.

I made some die-cut gears, added some Dusty Attic flowers also covered with black gesso

 Added some metal embellishments, beads and microbeads

Paper is from 7DotsStudio Cotton Candy dreams collection. for background I used Graphite modelling paste from Finnabair, some stamps and a little bit of Lindy`s sprays

 

Wish you good mood and a lot of inspiration
