Vacances - Valerie Ouellet - Mood Board Inspiration

Another amazing moodboard is awaiting you on Dusty Attic!

 Here's my take on it!


I started by adding a lot of ribbons and washi tape on my primed paper.


I added a little bit of Dusty Attic acrylic paint with my spatula. Once dry, I added some drops with my acrylic paint mixed with water.


I used 3 colors of Dusty Attic acrylic paint to colored my big chipboard.


 Let me show you some close ups!

Altered Frame by Farrel Tailor



Hi there Dusty Attic Fans!!! Farrel here to share my mixed media altered frame. I created this frame to demo at the Dusty Attic Retreat last month.
I have had such an overwhelming response to the frame that I am teaching it here in Perth next month also at another retreat in October so I won't be able to giveaway too many details.

Travel - Patricia Basson - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello dear Blogger friends....

This month the Moodboard from Dusty Attic is filled with soft Blues and Creams... I took my inspiration from the Suitcases, the weathered look of the ladder and a little bit of the measuring tape. My husband and I went away for the weekend a few weeks ago, hence the suitcases. I coloured my Chipboard pieces to resemble the look of the ladder and added a little Measuring Tape Washi Tape.


   



I used several pieces of 49 and Market papers. After distressing and layering the papers, I added ink and stamping to the background. I used Tumbled Grass and Stormy Sky Distress Oxide inks. Also used several stamps with the same inks.
This was followed with Stencil work using the Dusty Attic Creative Script Stencil and white Crackle Paste coloured with Sassy Sapphire Magical from Lindy's Stampgang. I added random Lindy's Embossing Powder, Tilt-a-Wheel Teal on the Crackle Paste as well. I also added some watered down Brown Rust Effect Past by Finnabair.



The Hearts from the Hearts Attack Border #2 were treated with Metallique Waxes, Bronze Age and Vintage Gold.





After Gesso, I painted the Seagrass #2 with Metallique light Patina Acrylic Paint and random embossing with the same Embossing Powder. Texture added by some Gauss and Seas the Day Prills. 









The Iron Garnish #2 and small Decorative Frame #1 were Gesso'd, painted and distressed with the Brown Rust Paste. The Perforated Mesh Border pieces peeping out, got painted with the Light Patina Paint and embossed with Tannenbaum Green Gold Embossing powder.

Amazing Moments - Cathy Cafun



Hi everyone,

Cathy here today sharing a travel themed layout with a holiday pic from a recent cruise this year for my husbands's 60th birthday, created with some of the June release Dusty Attic chipboard designs and the new burlap stencil design.

"Amazing Moments"


 So many gorgeous new designs, it difficult to choose which ones to create with!! but I was drawn to the fabulous new travel border and corner chippies as they are the perfect match for the recently released Mintay Papers - Wanderlust Collection.



To create my background I used the new Burlap Stencil design, with modelling paste which I coloured by mixing with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide reinkers in pistachio mixed with a touch of tumbled glass.







Textured embossing powders are a great way to alter your chipboard.  I used Stampendous shabby pink embossing enamel on the Sand Dollars and Starfish to create texture and Emerald Creek Baked Texture embossing powders on the Travel Borders and Corners.







The Chain Rectangles chipboard frame was altered with Ranger Ancient Gold embossing powder, which looks more like a copper brown and a mixture of WOW verdigris and Stampendous White embossing powders for the Amazing Moments mini caption.
