Dusty Attic May Mood Board Challenge - Picture Perfect Moments

Hi everyone,
Cathy here today, sharing my take on this month's Mood Board Challenge at Dusty Attic, which is another stunner!!

"Picture Perfect Moments"

I took inspiration from the colour palette and floral accents and decadent feel of this month's Mood Board.

To start I stencilled my background with Dusty Attic Ledger Stencil and Prima modelling paste.  Once dry I stamped over the stencilled area with a Kaisercraft Texture Stamp.

Loving the fabulous new release Impact Titles... so many new titles, you are bound to find just what you need!!  I have used "Picture Perfect" which I altered by first coating gesso, then a coat of 3D Liquid Pearls in Buttercup and Snow.

The 49 and Market 6x6 Happy Moments come in white which I love! I added a bit of texture to the string frame with some Prima mini art stones, then to make the chipboard a more brilliant white I spritzed with Kaisercraft white mist.

 The leaf sprigs were misted white, and the little berries were highlighted with buttercup liquid pearls.  I also used buttercup liquid pearls on the Iron Accents #1.

Dusty Attic February DT Creation - Picture Perfect

Hi everyone,
Cathy here today sharing a rustic, romantic inspired layout using gorgeous chipboard and stencil designs from The Dusty Attic.

"Picture Perfect"

I adore this photo of my nephew's wife taken by a professional photographer.  The rustic setting and colour tones go beautifully with her gorgeous red hair!!

I used two of the Dusty Attic stencils on my background.  One of the sprigs from the Wildflower Stencil #2 was used to create a bit of depth to my flower clusters.  I used texture paste and when throughly dry, outlined the sprig with a brown fineliner pen to match the tones in my layout and make them pop.

I also used the Chicken Wire Stencil over the top of my misted and stamped background.  I used a mix of pink and white Liquid Pearls to tie in with the pink blossoms.

To alter my chipboard pieces I first coated them with gesso, then coated them with soft pink and white Liquid Pearls.

Dusty Attic - December Mood Board Challenge - Life is Good at the Beach

Hi everyone,  I hope you had or are having a wonderful Christmas day with your loved ones and that you start the New Year with a bang!!

You still have time to enter this month's gorgeous Mood Board at Dusty Attic to be in for a chance to win a $100 Prize Voucher from the Dusty Attic Website.  All you have to do is make sure you have some Dusty Attic chipboard/products on your creation and link it up to the Dusty Attic blog on the top right hand side... good luck!!

"Life is Good at the Beach"

I was inspired by the photo on the bottom right and used the sketch loosely as a guide when creating this layout. 

To create the background I used two Dusty Attic Stencils.  First I stencilled using texture paste and the Sunburst template, then I stencilled with the Confetti #2 template and gel medium, which I coated with Lindys embossing powder in Weeping Willow Green/Gold.

The chipboard pieces were coated with white paint and small sections highlighted with embossing powder.

Dusty Attic - Capture This Moment - New Release Chipboard

Hello Dusty Attic crafters,

Today I am sharing a layout created with a few of the gorgeous new release chipboard and stencil designs from The Dusty Attic.

It felt like Christmas had come early when I received my DT parcel last week, so many beautiful new designs.. Halloween, gorgeous scrolls, foliage and lots of new titles!!!

"Capture This Moment"

I was drawn to one of the beautiful new scroll chippies Iron Garnish #3 when creating my layout this month, which I layered with a new release chipboard title "Capture This Moment".

To create my background, I stenciled with the new release Damask Stencil using Faber Castell Whipped Spackle. Once almost dry (slightly tacky) I rubbed over with mauve mica powder and brushed off the excess to make the design pop.

I also also used the new Chicken Wire stencil with White Frost Metallic Lustre Paste.  Once dry, I randomly stamped over in grey with Kaisercraft Script stamp, then flicked over with white Kaisermist to soften.

To alter my chipboard pieces, I first coated with gesso, making sure to rub the gesso into the etched typewritten words on the title piece.  Next I applied liquid pearls in various colours, dabbing on with my finger to create texture.  I used mauve ink on the typewritten word, which I applied by lightly swiping over the top of the gesso.  The Capture part of the title was coated with white Liquid Pearls, then swiped over the Coral Metallic Lustre paste.

Thanks so much for stopping by :)
