Card Set - Nicole Doiron



Hello Dusty FANattics!


Nicole here with you again and, since it is December, 
I thought that I would create and share with you a set of Christmas cards
using some very festive Dusty Attic chipboard and colours!




On this first card, I some pieces from the Creative Layers #5 set
combined with a bit of Perforated Mesh.




On the poinsettias, I used Dusty in Colour Cranberry with some Clear Gloss Varnish and 
dabs of Vintage Gold to give them some shimmer and painted the pine branch 
with a mixture of Forest and Capri.  I decorated the center of my flowers with DA bling.






The second card showcases the rest of the Creative Layers set, which goes to show that 
these chipboard pieces can be used in layers as was intended or on their own as I did.




I used the 'Celebrate This' piece from the Mini Captions #10 set,
and turned it into my sentiment by covering the 'this' by 'noel' of the Wordplay #5.






On my last card, I cut up the Holly Flourish and layered the pieces
to frame a corner of my card and added a couple Stars #2.




I dabbed the flourish with Forest acrylic paint first and then once dry
I lightly dabbed some of the Capri colour and then covered it with Clear Gloss Varnish.






Here are the Dusty Attic products I used when creating this card set:




Chipboard
Dusty in Colour
Vintage Gold - DA0926
Accessories

Before I go, I want to take this opportunity to wish you all
HAPPY HOLIDAYS! 


See you next year!

So Beautiful - Amy Voorthuis - Challenge Inspiration

Goodmorning lovely bloggers,
What I love about the new 49 and Market collection "Rusty Autumn"is that it is so versatile you can make really rustic layouts but also very girly soft toned layouts and for today I would like to show you a girly one with lots of flowers and The Dusty Attic chipboard. I am a hugh sucker of delicate lacey tattoos and I will get one like that someday to add to my other tattoo I already have {a very tiny one on my shoulder} I want to expand mine a little more. So both my pages this month are with a pretty tattoo on the picture and totally different from each other.

So Beautiful 
The chipboards I used here are primed with white gesso and then on the large chipboard pieces I added white embossingpowder very simple this time. On the other chippies I just inked the edges after I gessod them. 




This layout is based on this months mood board at The Dusty Attic blog. I love that it's not traditional Christmas colors but totally soft and right up my alley so I went all crazy. 




For my perspectives I kept this layout very simple but that is really easy with those pretty chippies and flowers I just love to combine these two DT's together.
