Boho Beauties - Anat Weksler

Hello crafty friends!

Anat here , hoping you are all well in spite of the complicated situtation the worlds is in.

Sharing my new project wishing to bring you some joy and inspiration.

My free form ATC set is rather different from what I made until now, not only for it's Boho style but also the colors. But I have to say I enjoyed very much to create it and how it turned out!!

To make  the bases I have cut 3 chipboard circles, I grabed  3 big Cogs from the Jumbo Cog set, and painted all with brown Finnabair Rust Effect Paste. In the middle of the circles I painted, unevenly, using Jade and Mediterranean Finnabair Impasto Paints and added splats of Gold Rust Effect paste.

After drying I added metal wire and beads on a metal thread. Next I tied Prima Gipsy Cord.

The Deer taken form the Discover Designer Mixed Kit, i've painted with Brown Impasto paint and rubed with finnabair Vintage Gold Wax

The smal gears from the same Kit I painted with Brown Impasto paint and rubed with Fire Ruby Metalique Wax.

The fathears, wings and arrows I colored with Lindy's: Oh Canada Crimson Squirt, Tibetan Poppy Teal Spray and C'est la Vie Cerise Spray.

DA 2261 - Geo tribal motif #1

Spring ATC's - Nuneka Box - VIDEO TUTORIAL

Hi there! 

I can feel spring is in the air, don't you? And I was looking at my chip boards from The Dusty Attic in search of some inspiration, because I really wanted to create something cheerful and fresh, cute but dimensional, so... the answer was ATCs!

So I just cut some cardboard to use as base and glued them in some pieces of papers, I protected them with clear gesso and teared the edges. Then I applied a beautiful shimmery texture paste through the Distressed Diamonds Stencil and the background was ready.

Time to work on my embellishments! I decided to use some of the new gorgeous Fancy Trims (number 13) and cut them with the length of the ATCs. Then I applied several coats of embossing powders, creating a beautiful effect.

The Wildflowers (number 4) chipboards, I painted them with metallic acrylic paint in coral color, and cut them in half so they fit the ATCs. Then I cut some hexagons from the leftover paper and I was ready to build the composition. 

First I glued the Fancy Trim chipboards, then the hexagons using cardboard piece to add dimension, the the Wildflowers chipboards and some sisal. I fussy cut some butterflies I printed and added them to the composition, together with a sentiment. Finally I glued mica flakes and microbeads. Easy, right? You can watch the whole process on The Dusty Attic YouTube channel.

Find the beauty in EVERYDAY - Michelle Van Oudtshoorn

Hello Dusty Attic fans

Hope everyone is keeping safe and well. Today I am up on the blog with a new layout for April.

Love this photo of my daughter - and she is indeed beautiful inside and out - and I found the title Find the Beauty in Everyday appropriate. I have started with tearing the papers, and then stencilling with the Dusty Attic script stencil and some gold texture paste. I have then layered my papers and painted all my chipboard in gold (except for the butterflies).

I have cut up the star banner and added these as elements under my photos and flowers, and then added stars from the #4 set.

I have added a zipper feature - it is one of the older releases but still one of my favourite!

I have added some butterflies to finish off

These are the products I have used:

Samuser au soleil - Kareen Dion - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello everyone!

Today I'm sharing with you my inspiration from this month moodboard. 

I must say, that aren't colors that I'm used to. 

But, a challenge is a challenge!

And here is my layout : 

Some close ups : 

For the title, I used the French Mini Caption #9, I mixed paint and embossing powder.

On the background I took the Fancy Trim #13, I love the borders from the new release.

They are so easy to work with and it always gives a little extra on your creation.

I also added Stars #4 that I painted and add a little bit of white gesso on them.

Behind the title, I used the Banners #4 that I simply painted.

Chipboards used :

So that's it for me today and I hope you will be inspired!! 

See you soon!
