Gorgeous with Dusty Attic

Hello Dusty Attic friends!

Featuring another layout for Dusty Attic and their amazing chipboard pieces. Today I am showcasing a layout I have done of my daughter who was doing a photo shoot for a friend as part of his photography course. Here he was trying to get the lighting right and she was playing the fool pulling funny faces while he was trying to get it right - the result is this amazing photo. I just love it!

I have used a mixture of Prima Georgia Blue paper and 49 and Market Paradise paper. I have stenciled the background using the Dusty Attic Ledger Stencil and some texture past and mixing it with a little gold paint, behind the matting papers. I have prepped that chipboard using gold paint on the Dusty Attic Iron Garnish #4 and the Dusty Attic Cosmic Swirl.

I then used a lighter gold metallic polish on the Dusty Attic Lavender #2 chipboard. I used these as part of my flower arrangement, where I cut these into small pieces and layered these between the flowers.

I then used blue metallic paint and painted the title #gorgeous from the Dusty Attic hashtags sayings #2 chipboard words

These are the Dusty Attic products I have used:

Thank you for popping over to look at the blog today. I hope that I have inspired you to create a layout with these amazing Dusty Attic chippies.

Lovely - Dusty Attic

Hello Dusty Attic fans

Welcome to a new month at Dusty Attic and another gorgeous  moodboard challenge for February - and these absolutely, gorgeous colours!

Aren't these colours just gorgeous???

And here is my take on the February Challenge:

The two papers are from 49 and Market - the base is from the Winters Edge Collection and the reverse side of the Frolic paper and the distressed page is from the Captured Adventures Collection using the Wander Aimlessly paper. I first placed my Dusty Attic chipboard pieces so that I could gauge where I wanted to add my stencilling. I used the Gabrielle Pollacco 6x6 manic stencil and texture paste for the backgound. I used a Tim Holtz Distress Stain antique linen and rubbed this over the stencilling, and then splattered some dark gray ink randomly over the page.

The Dusty Attic chipboard is painted with Dusty Attic paints (I have combined a blue and green to create the darker green colour) - and then lightly brushed over the chipboard with gold - to take on the mood of the "fire" in the moodboard. I have also randomly stamped on the page. I have used some journal cards and the tickets from from the Mintay Winterlust Collection #6 paper, and the compass from the elements paper.

The foliage #14 chipboard has been cut to add under the flowers. Once I assembled the page I then combined some Tim Holtz distress stain Weathered Wood and Bundled Sage and watered this down and using a paint brush dabbed some of this watered down in around the outline of the chipboard to pop the chipboard feature.
These are the Dusty Attic Products I used:

Pop over to the Dusty Attic blog and check out the inspiration from the rest of the team, and to take part in the monthly challenge.

Till next time and happy scrapping.

White .. with 1 February 2019

Hello there lovelies

Thanks for popping by to look at the White ... with 1 monthly challenge - and quite the appropriate colour for February - VIVID RED, with valentine's day around the corner.

And a sketch for the month

And this colour is just so vibrant and just pops on white. Here is my take on the February challenge

I so loved putting this page together. Here I have used the papers from the Mintay range "Farmlife". I used the no 2 paper for the back ground. The lamb and matting papers behind the photo are from the no 9 paper. I have cut the flowers and the ducks from the no 6 paper.

The chipboard fence is from Dusty Attic, which I have painted in red. I have then built up the flowers and the animals around the fence.

I have used chipboard leaves from 49 and Market 6 x 6 archival chipboard "remember today" and layered these between the fussy cut flowers.

I then added some art stones to the bottom of the page to resemble ground, and then finished off with dabbing red ink over the stones and around the photos and embellishments to add dimension.

I have used a die to cut out the shapes behind the photo and finished off with a chipboard heart painted in red.

I hope I have inspired you to take up the White with 1 challenge for February.

Thank you for popping over to visit.

Dusty Attic January Mood Board - Relax

Hello Dusty Attic friends

I am so excited to present to you my first project on the Dusty Attic Design Team. A new year, and lots of new exciting projects for 2019 - I am so honoured to be part of this amazing team . Happy New Year to you all!  And oh boy the mood board for January is just amazing with my favourite colours to begin with, I am so in my happy place! Isn't this mood board just absolutely gorgeous?

And here is my take on the mood board:

The background paper to this layout is from 49 and Market Island Paradise Collection and the paper "Time to Coast" - I also used some of the laser cut images

I started with stencilling the background using texture paste and then adding some muslin cloth over this before adhering my photos and Dusty Attic pieces. The chipboard is coloured using Metallic Gilding polish in shades of Mint, Mediterranean Blue, Ocean Teal, and Pearl Lustre.

 These are the chipboard pieces I used:

SHELLS #3 DA2268 

 DECORATIVE FRAME #5 DA2257

Note I turned this upside down when I used it on my page

SHELLS #2 DA2267

WORD PACK #10 DA1266

CORAL MIXED DA1919

Here I used the 2nd seaweed and after adding colour cut it in half and added to either side of my photo

I then added some Dusty in Bloom Blue Bonnet flowers, and finished off with Art stones. Once this was done I also then used some blue pastel and lightly brushed around the embellishments to give it the blue accent - I also brushed it on in the corners of my layout. 

Thanks for stopping by and hope that I have inspired you to take part in the mood board challenge for this month.

White with ...1 - January 2019

Happy New Year to you all!! Wishing you a happy and prosperous 2019.

And of course with the 1st of the month, means a new challenge over at White with 1,  and what a glorious way to start off the new year with this very cheerful colour BUTTER CREAM

 

And to get the creative juices flowing, how about this gorgeous mood board to get you inspired:

 

Isn't this just so deliciously glorious? I was inspired by the flowers (and those who know me, know how much I love flowers.

Here is my take on the mood board and the colour for this month of January  

First I cut down the white card stock, and added a butter cream card stock behind it. I then stenciled on the flowers by mixing a yellow ink and texture past to give the butter cream colour. I liked the frilly edges of the flowers in the mood board which then also inspired me to used the chipboard behind the flowers. I then finished off the layout by layering the flowers, and adding in strips of paper for the inspiration of the straw in the mood board.

I then added some twine behind the flowers and added the title.

Please pop over to the White with 1 blog and have a look at the creativity of the other DT members - they are gorgeous! Come and play along with us over at White ... with 1 :)

See you  soon!

White ... with 1 December 2018

Omg - what has happened to this year .... its gone!
The 1st of December (it is actually our wedding Anniversary today - all of 28 years of being married!)

And what a great way to see the new month in with White ... with 1's gorgeous colour for the month VIVID GOLD - ties in with all the celebrations!

And for a little more inspiration, a lovely sketch (optional to anyone wishing to taking part in the challenge)

 I have used the sketch and here is my take on the challenge and the colour for this month:

I started with a dusty attic chippie called drift net, and inked this in gold. I then cut this in half so that I could place one on top of the other to form my frame for the photos. The background has been sprayed with gold ink.  The title "A Beautiful Day" is also a chipboard piece I have had in my stash for sometime, and this was also inked in gold. 

The xxxxx stitching and the butterfly is Bo Bunny foil rub-on. The gold ink is really difficult to photo - even the stamping here is a light gold ink - wand it is showing up grey!
Next I sprayed some white leaves with gold ink

I then finished off white white flowers and some more foil rub-ons. 

Wishing you all a wonderful festive season and may you all have a prosperous and blessed new year 

2019 is going to be a busy year - lots happening, so watch this space .....

Till then,

White with 1 - November Challenge

Welcome to November , and scary to think that in two months time - we are into 2019! Of course, new month means new colour over at White ... with 1. This month is the lovely ORANGE BLAZE.

 

Such a great vibrant colour! And what about this inspiring mood board to get you going?

 

And here is my take on the colour for this month:

I started with tearing a strip out of the white cardstock, and then placing a piece of patterned paper underneath. I stamped with a wood grained pattern stamp in the orange plus orange splatter as the background, and a little of stamping with a dark grey stamp.

 I then cut strips of patterned paper to add in the background. The chipbaord frame and leaves are all Dusty Attic and were painted with Finnabair Metallique Gold Amber paint.  I then raised the photo and frame before placing the leaves under.

I then sprayed cream flowers from 49 and Market with orange ink, which I used to finish off the layout

 

I hope that I have inspired you to play along, and look forward to seeing your layout up on the blog.

Have a great week!
