Make today so awesome - Dusty Attic

Hello lovely Dusty Attic Fans

For us down in New Zealand the days are getting longer and warmer - and I am loving the summery weather.

As we head to the end of the month, I thought I would pop in quickly with a layout for the November moodboard challenge - you still have some time, it's weekend and a perfect opportunity to create something for the monthly challenge and your chance to win AUD50 worth of Dusty Attic chipboard goodies. Post your entries to the Dusty FANattics facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/groups/1949690068580466

Here is the moodboard for November:

Here is my take on the moodboard:

Using paper from the  49 and Market Vintage Artistry Everyday collection, I fussy cut some leaves first from the Zealous paper and used the paper Garden Variety as my base. I then paint all the chipboard, before putting my layout together. Firstly, I added layers of different paper and ephemera behind my photo. The Ornate Circle frame off DA2271 is the smaller of the two frames in the pack, plus I have used the negative of the circle between the large and smaller frame. These were painted in green and I added touches of Prima wax to these. I adhered these to the page first before adding my photo and paper layers.

The flower clusters were then built up, and I added the mini film strips DA2511, the small wildflowers #3 DA1143, a bee DA1669 and a mini watering can DA2802 into the cluster

And isn't this quote sentiment off Sentiment pack #4 DA2585 just fabulous "make today so awesome that yesterday gets jealous" - I love it!

Once I completed the layout I added splatters of bronze paint to the layout. 
I hope that this inspires you to take part in the November moodbaord challenge - I would love to see your creations on the Dusty FANattics facebook page.

Take care,

Michelle

Walk on the Wild Side - 49 & Market

Hello 49 & Market Fans

I am back today with a layout created using the newly released Vintage Artistry Naturalist collection. 

The base of my layout is the paper called Meadow. I then made a "look a like book" using some of the Naturalist Ephemera and the Bookplates. This has been made with foam tape layers to create the book. The flower cluster is made using the Cranberry Rustic Bouquet flowers, added with laser cut leaves abd flowers from the 12 x 12 collection pack.

The little heart in the flowers is off the chipboard stickers. 

The title of "walk on the wild side" is off the laser cut sheet.

I have tucked tags on either side of the booklet and then added rubon stitching of the Naturalist rubons, and I have also added rubon leaves above the booklet and also in the top right corner of the page.

The "lace" at the top of the page is off the bar code strip of the Meadows paper which I have fussy on the edges to create the lace edge adhering to the page, and added rubon stitching to the lace.

The embellishment at the top of the page is made using the chipboard stickers, firstly the round chipboard that reads "outside" then adding the elastic ribbon off the laser cut sheets with foam tape and then adding the chipboard "joy in living" 

Thank you for visiting the blog today.

Till next time,

Michelle
