Adore - Dusty Attic January Moodboard

 Hello friends

I am back on the blog for this month with a layout created with Dusty Attics January moodboard.

These are such beautiful colours and I love the blue/teal and orange hues. Here is my layout inspired by these colours:

I started with the Get Framed Postage rectangular frame set first (DA2675) - and using the outer edge that holds the postage frames together,  coloured this with the Art Alchemy Metallique wax. There are three frames in the set, and I have used the largest frame with my photo. This was first embossed using mixed media powder sea colour and then brushed over with Art Alchemy wax. The same was done to the Mystic Flourishes (DA1747) and two pieces used from the feathers by Nuneka DA2733

I started first with layering the frames and then layering the flowers.

The titles "love" and "delightful" from DA1645 were lightly brushed over with wax so as not to fill up the letters and then stuck to the flower cluster and the top corner arrangement.

Adore is one title from a pack of lovely titles to choose from DA2544.

You Fill my Heart - 49 and Market

Hello there!

Loving these new releases for January from 49 and Market. I am showing casing a layout created from the new Vintage Artistry in Color Collectors Edition Volume 1, and new Vintage Artistry Blush/Sage Rub-on transfers:

The new Vintage Artistry in Color Collectors Edition comes with some new papers and new laser cut sheet - the leaves on my layout are used from this laser cut sheet. I have started with the Vintage Artistry Sage paper called Papillon. I have then arranged a mixture of Vintage Artistry in Colour Ephemera Sage and Coral under the photo. This has then been placed on the page using foam tape. 

From here I added the transfers around my page and under the Ephemera layers

These rub-on transfers are so easy to use and can be rubbed on on top of each other to create beautiful effects - as shown in my collage.

Once I had done the rub-ons, I began layering my flowers and the leaves from the laser cut sheet.

I have used a variety of different flowers - Mauras Vineyard Rose, Sugar Posies Fluff, Sugar Stems Tutti Frutti and Stargazers Peach Sorbet. With the Fluff flowers, I have added a touch of coral pastel power to give them a "pinky" look. I have also cut up the Stargazer flowers and adding the wire twirls between the other flowers and leaves.

Among the leaves I have also added some laser cut flowers and butterflies.

Thanks for visiting the blog today. 

Take care,

Michelle

Days of Summer - Dusty Attic

Hello Dusty Attic fans

A very happy New Year to you all - here is hoping that 2021 will be a better year!

I have created a summer layout today with a few of the new 2020 releases:

This is a photograph of my daughter in Akaroa - I just love this photo! 

I have used Ocean Elements 2 (DA2768) and 7 (DA2773) painted with various shades of green, and painted some drift wood (DA2193) 9in browns. I started first with the Ocean Elements 7 and then layered the Oceans Elements 2 with the some fussy cut elements.

The mini seagulls (DA2686) are just gorgeous - an I painted these white and then brushed over some light blue denim paint to give it a seagull look. I even added some twine to the seagull sitting on the pole. 

The mini fish (DA2774) has been painted in silver and then I added some blue lines so that it looks like an angel fish. 

The title Days of Summer (DA2547) and the mini compass (DA2381) have been sponged with light blue denim paint.

These are the products I have used:

100% Natural - 49 & Market

Hello 49 and Market fans

Oh my gosh I am loving this Vintage Artistry Everyday Collection - and I have used this collection to create my layout for today.

The base page is the reverse side of the Lucent Ladies paper, and I cut down the bonus paper that is on the reverse side of the cover to the collection to 11" x 11", distressed the edges and added this to the Lucent Ladies paper. I have then used some of the laser cuts from the paper collection and some of the Ephemera to layer the photo - the frame is from the laser cut sheet. These were layered with foam tape before adhering to the page. I have only adhered this to the centre of the photo layers so I was able to rub on the Vintage Artistry Everyday Rub-ons around the layers of laser cuts and Ephemera. These rub-ons are really great layered - in the photo below I have rubbed on some of the wording and then rubbed on the leaf on top of this - very effective. And how gorgeous are these butterfly rub-ons? There are gorgeous little words in the rub-ons pack - and I used each one of these on the laser cut tabs under the photo as shown here:

From here I first adhered the leaves from the laser cut sheet before layering laser cut flowers and Ginger Mini series flowers and the Chardonnay Maura's Vineyard flowers. I have layered the laser cut pieces and the flowers between each other to build up the cluster.

I have added some of the black Roughly Sewn stitching to two of the corners to finish off.

Thank you for visiting the blog today, and wishing you all the very best for 2021.

Thanks,

Michelle

Happy - Dusty Attic

 Hello Dusty Attic fans

Well that is almost 2020 in a wrap - and this is my last post for 2020. My project for today is based on the gorgeous December moodboard:

Isn't this moodboard just beautiful? Here is my take on it:

I have used some of the new releases on my layout - the distressed frames and the foliage. The frames were first painted before adding these to the page - and were added on foam tape in layers.

From there, the flowers were added and layered before adding the foliage under the flowers. One of the foliage pieces was cut - part added to the main flower cluster and the other bits used in the smaller flower cluster at the top right corner, and adding the word from "beautiful" from the wordplay chipboard.

Once the flowers were added, I then added the "happy" title

Here are some more close ups:

I will be back in January - have a great festive season!

Take care,

Merry Christmas - 49 & Market

 Seasons greetings,

What better way to get into the festivities of Christmas than using Vintage Artistry Noel collection. 

I love this Christmas collection - the 12 x 12 paper pack has 5 papers and 2 sheets of beautiful Christmas laser cut shapes to make really great Christmas layouts - all in the traditional Christmas colours. 

The base of the page in red is the paper called Painted Season. The paper Aquifolium has been trimmed down to 11"x11" and distressed before adding to the Painted Season paper. I have then cut two matting pieces from cover of the collection (which is the gold/ochre colour) and a piece from the Tradition paper. From there I have layered pieces from the Vintage Artistry Shore Ephemera pack. The frames for the photos are from the laser cut sheets.

I have used a mixture of flowers - Botanical Potpourri Bottle Green and Red flowers, and some from Blossoms Blends in red. This has then been layered together with the poinsettias, leaves and pine cones from the laser cut sheets. The pine cones have been rounded before adhering to the page.

The Santa feature in the top right corner, is made using the Santa laser die from the laser sheet, with laser cut poinsettias and leaves, and some flowers. 

Vintage Artistry rub-ons (which I love!) have added around the page to finish it off.

Wishing you and your family a joyous and festive Season.

Favourite Moments - Dusty Attic

Hello Dusty Attic fans

Wow this is the last month of this year - and what a year it has been, hasn't it?! Today I would like to share  with you my layout created for Dusty Attic for December. 

I love this photo of my daughter. She is a make-up Artist, and does these photos to promote her business via Instagram and Facebook - so of course I like to scrap these photos.

I have first started by cutting different size pieces of paper to mat my photo. Using one of the Get Framed - Circles as the frame, have painted this with Prima Alchemy metallique paint and layered this with my photo before adhering to the matted papers. This is then adhered to the page with foam tape, so that I was able to tuck in the film strip and the medallions, painted with the same paints. 

One of my favourite pieces is the Wattle Blossom, and I have used it again on this page, cutting it into smaller pieces to add among the flower cluster.

I have added Crystal Stickles to the Wattle Blossoms. 

The title was also first painted in Prima Alchemy paint, and then I added Pink Stickles on it.
