The Dusty Attic March Mood Board/Sketch Challenge - #Gorgeous New Look

Hi everyone, Today I am sharing my take on the this month's beautiful Dusty Attic Mood Board/Sketch Challenge. There is an amazing prize of a $100 Dusty Attic Prize Voucher for the winner.  To enter you simply need to use the Mood Board, Sketch or both for Inspiration, which you can interpret in anyway you like. The only requirement is that Dusty Attic chipboard is used on your creation. 

Once completed, simply add your link to the right side bar of the Dusty Attic Blog.  Make sure to peruse all the gorgeous creations from our Design Team while you're there for some inspiration!!

Life is Beautiful

To create my layout, I have used the Sketch and the Mood Board.  I was inspired by all the textures, the colours and flowers in the bicycle photo, as well as the soft golden beige in the feather photo.

 To create my background, I used the Lace Stencil and Dusty Attic Texture Paste, which I dried off, then misted with Lindy's mists in several colours  (it's difficult to photograph, but there are gorgeous hues of mauve, pink beige and gold).  Once dry, I stamped with Prima background stamps in Hickory Smoke Distress Ink and Versamagic Wheat Chalk Ink.

The Perforated Mesh chipboard was cut up into 4 sections, coated with gesso and whilst still wet, sprinkled with extra fine white glitter.  I absolutely adore the Crazy Stitching chippies and think they will become a firm favourite!!  To alter, I primed with gesso, then coated with Decoart Metallic Lustre in Champagne Ice. 

The Dusty Attic Bridal Veil Blooms are so pretty and add a soft and delicate touch to my layers.  I swiped over the edges of the smallest blooms with Champagne Metallic Lustre to add a bit of definition.

 The Teeny Tiny ABC chipboard are a fab way to add a touch of journaling or to use as part of your title.  I primed them with gesso, then inked with Versamagic Pixie Dust Chalk ink .

 I decided to use the labels from the 6x4 Frame Set as part of my layering and altered them by first priming with gesso, then a coat of Champagne Metallic Lustre, and a few random dabs of Crushed Coral Shimmerz Texturez.  The #gorgeous chipboard was primed with gesso, inked in Pixie Dust, then lightly coated with Crushed Coral Shimmerz Texturez by dabbing on with my finger.

To finish off and soften my page, I watered down some gesso, covered my photo, then flicked all around my layout, holding the brush fairly close to get lots of lovely little splatters.  I also lightly flicked over with Lindy's Wake Me Up Before You Go Gold.
