A moment captured - Dusty Attic

Hello there,

My layout today is inspired by the March moodboard

I love the calmness this moodboard portrays and looks so peaceful and beautiful. Here is my layout 

I started the layout first with adding strips of black and grey paper pieces larger than the photo. Then I added matt gel to this and went over this with white gesso. Once this was dry I added various blends of ink over this and when this was dry added some stamping. I then adhered the photo and layers of paper behind and stuck down the flower cluster. 

The chipboard leaves (DA2897) were coloured with metallic waxes. These were added to the flowers once the flowers were stuck down.

The same wax was applied the delight definition (DA2997)

The butterfly (DA2385) was also coloured with the same metallic wax

For the title I used the wording "a moment" from DA2045 and the word "captured" was made up from the lean ABC set (DA2697) - I did this as I needed the narrower letters for where I was placing my title. The title was first painted with a metallic gray paint and then brushed over with black paint. Once this was dry, I added glossy accents to the letters

To finish off I added some mini art stones mixed with gray ink. I also added some pearl flourishes.

The Story - 49 and Market

Hello 49 and Market fans

So excited to bring you a layout with another gorgeous new release "Vintage Artistry Collectors Edition Volume 2" - the colours are just so bright and beautiful.

There are the most gorgeous papers in this collection and there are two sets of lasercut pieces to use, and the prettiest of papers. For my layout I have used paper from the collection pack. I first started with a lasercut piece book look alike piece from the laser cuts in the collection pack, and then added pieces (distressing the edges first) from the Curators Essentials Remnants pack. These were added to the page with foam tape to enable me to tuck in flowers and laser cuts to create my flower cluster

Before adding the flowers, I added the three "lace pieces" from the laser cut sheet and layered these under the photo matts and they have a lovely kink in them that bends as you can see in the photo below

The flower cluster is made up of Royal Spray Passion Pink flowers and the yellow flowers Rustic Bouquet Marigold, and lasercut flowers from the Collection pack.

I have added ARToptions Avesta chipboard pieces among the flowers, as well as the top of the page and on the "book" in the corner. I have added some Curators Stitched Washi Tape and coloured pearls to finish off.

Thanks for visiting the blog today.

Take care,

Michelle

These Moments - 49 and Market

Greetings scrapbooking friends

On the blog today - a layout created with the new Curators Botanical collection. The blue, purple, yellow hues with the rich green foliage in this collection are just stunning! 

I have used two papers out of the collection pack for this layout Curators Botanical Natural History paper and the reverse side of the Curators Botanical Records paper (this has been cut down to 11"x11", distressed and adhered to the Natural History paper).

The photo has been matted with a mixture of frames off the Curators Botanical Laser cut sheet and frames and pieces from the Curators Botanical Ephemera bits. I have also added some lace edging from the laser cut sheet and some edging from the Curators Essential Laser cut sheet.

The matted photo was adhered to the page with foam tape and I then added the fence pieces from the Laser cut sheet and the ephemera pack layering them on top of each other on either side of the photo.  Before adhering the flower cluster, I used various pieces from the Curators 12x12 rub-on sheet and the 6x8 rub-on sheets around my photo matt. 

I then layered my flower pieces from the Laser cut sheets 

The stamp frames in the middle of the cluster are from the laser cut sheet and the paper stamp base is from the Essentials pack - I have added a stamp to this using the Curators Botanical Postage Stamp washi tape. I have also added some Huckleberry Sugar posies in the cluster.

I have added 2 tags from the Curators Botanical Tag Set and the title These Moments is from the Ephemera pack.

Thank you for visiting the blog today.

Cheers,

Jan-Dec for Dusty Attic

Hi there,

Welcome to March! And back today with a new layout.

I loved these month chipboards and really wanted to use them all on one layout - and came up with this layout using a Mintay paper that was perfect to display these monthly chippies. 

All chipboard is painted using Prima Art Alchemy metallique paints. 

I have fussy cut the flowers and elements and layered these with ivy leaves.

These are the products I have used:

Mini Album - 49 & Market

Greetings to you all! 

I have done something a little different today by creating a mini album from the ARToptions Avesta card kit. This kit is absolutely beautiful providing you with 8 cards and 8 matching envelopes, 2 rub-on transfer sheets, and 8 sticker seals (also matching) to close your envelopes. 

I started with attaching the envelopes and the close over flaps and attaching these to each other. Where the triangular piece was attached I only added tape to the bottom edge. This would then allow me to use these triangle pieces to attach additional pages - like the cards or some of the ephemera. Once this was all stuck down, I then folded the envelopes to create a concertina effect - as seen in the above long photo. This enables you to use both sides for the album. The cover is made with 2 pieces of chipboard slightly larger than the envelopes. These hard covers were covered with the Avesta Precocious paper, the flower part of the paper is at the top of the album, and I have added a rub on flower to the bottom right of the cover as shown in the collage top left photo above and "the good life" banner is from the Avesta chipboard pack. The inside of the covers have been finished off using the paper packing that comes with the card kit - it is beautiful and I just had to use it!

Decorating the album was done by adding some of the cards folded into the envelope pieces - photos can be added to the inside of the cards - I have also added plain paper pieces inside the envelopes. Adding the seal stickers to these and some chipboard pieces. 

In the collage above, the photo on the bottom right is an example of what I mentioned earlier. Where the triangular flaps are attached, I have used one the Avesta ephemera pieces, folded this in half and attached to the triangular piece to create an extra page, and turning this over, you can add a photo behind this. This is decorated with Avesta rub-ons and Curators Essential stitched washi tape. I have added the frames from the ephemera pack creating it as a pocket to tuck in some of the ephemera tickets and tags. Behind this pocket is a large piece of the Avesta floral fabric tape added as a background, and I have also added rub-ons from the rub-on pack that is included in the card kit. The tags on the bottom left corner, is another lovely addition to this range - matching tags already stringed in all sorts of shapes and sizes.

I had so much fund creating this mini album from the card kit. The card kit is really beautiful!

Take care,

Captured Together - 49 and Market

I am so loving all these new releases - there is just such fabulous new, and gorgeous products. Todays blog write up features a layout created with Curators Essentials and Curators Botanical

The base page of the layout is the reverse side of the Curators Botanical Flutterology paper. I kept the bottom strip on the paper and trimmed the paper down to 12" x 12" at the top. I added stitching washi tape at the bottom of the page from the Curators Essential Washi Tape Stitch Set. I then added layers of Curators Essential Ephemera, distressing the edges behind the photo, adding in Curators Essentials Laser cuts between these layers too. 

Before I adhered the photo matt, I put this down on the paper to get an idea of where I wanted to place this, as I wanted to add a piece of Curators Essential Adverts Wash Tape behind the matting. I tore this roughly and stuck this down, before I adhered the photo matting. I then added some rub-on stamps to the matting pieces

Once this was done, I cut out pieces of the script type rub-ons from the 8"x6" set and added these under the photo matts, and then placing the "coffee" stain rub-ons on top. I tied some twine around the photo add "Best of Times" Ephemera tag to it.

I finished off adding the title "Captured Together" which is also on the 8" x 6" rub-on sheets.

Hope you enjoy this new release - Curators Botanical and Curators Essentials - I know I have thoroughly enjoyed have a play with these new products.

Take care,

Michelle

SIMPLY Perfect - Dusty Attic February Moodboard

Hello Dusty Attic fans

Back with the Dusty Attic moodboard inspiration - lovely calming colours for this month.

And here is my layout that I have created from this moodboard:

This is a Simple Stories paper collection that I have used to create my layout. I first cut some papers and arranged these to the centre of the paper, before adding the framed photo to the centre. I then painted the Two Strong Hearts chipboard (DA2656) with Dusty in Colour Pesto paint and added this to the corner of the photo frame before creating the cluster of fussy cut flowers.

The leaves DA2636, were then painted in a darker green paint, adding some gold paint to the edges. Once dry, I stamped these with a script stamp. I then inserted these under the flower cluster

The butterfly (DA2385) was painted with a light brown metallique paint and adhered to the corner of the frame, adding the fussy cut butterflies around this.

The title "Simply Perfect" (DA2509) was also painted in the same darker green paint, brushed over with gold paint and then stamped with a script stamp.

The title also includes two little slides with some hearts cut out of the bottom piece. I have tucked these under the photo frame 

I finished off adding some sequins to the page. I love the sun shining through the leaves of the moodboard, so I thought the sequins represented that quite well.

These are the products I have used for this layout:

Take part in the moodboard challenge using the Moodboard as inspiration for your project (and it can be any project as long as you use dusty attic chipboard), add your entry to the Dusty FANattics Facebook page and you could win one of two AUD $50 credits with Dusty Attic of their awesome chipboard pieces.

Take care,

Michelle
