Love - Dusty Attic Moodboard

 

Hello hello hello Dusty FANattics 
Today I would like to share a layout of Myself, Hubby and Ky based on the November mood board.

and this is my Layout

I started with two sheets of paper, and loved the bottom film strip piece so cut the paper down from the top instead of cutting the strip off. The second sheet I tore the top and layered it onto the bottom page, this way I could add the Lace Trim.

I have mounted my photo with three pieces of cardstock adding the Mandala by Nuneka on the two sides then added the cute little Mini Owl  (Note, I took that little piece out of his eye that I missed!)

The "Love" title I have also sprayed white then added rub ons and sanded them back a little to make it shabby.

I have done the same with the Banners #5 , first taking out the little love hearts and popping them back in after I have added the rub ons.

The  Feathers by Nuneka  add a cute little flourish at both ends. I have then added the little frangipanis #3 which I have coloured with water coloured pencils. 

You can shape the chip board by rubbing on the back with.

Good Morning Dusty FANattics

Today I would like to share a layout of my Mum, Dad and myself using the 49 and Market Vintage Artistry collection in CORAL.   There is so much I can say about this photo, this is us now, we seem to make sure we take photos together whenever we can, I think we just wish we did this more often when my darling brother was alive. So people, take those photos, none of this "my hair is't done" or "I look fat", just get in there and be in photographs as well as taking them. 

Okay, now I have given you my worldly advice just letting you know that 

Dusty Attic have the Vintage Artistry and other 49 and Market lines on the website 

HERE 

I have used the string of Hearts at the top corners of the layout

String of Hearts 

Look at all those gorgeous Collage pieces layered with the heart frame.

Love Title

All of my chipboard I have coloured with white except my title to make it "pop" I have used a green ink over the top 

Lace Border #2 Small

This small lace border is just perfect for under photographs, there is also a large version however I have used the Fancy Trim (#13) at the bottom of my page on the top of layered papers 

Fancy Trim #13

I adore how this tropical foliage could also be used a feathers, again I have left it white to showcase all the fine details in the chipboard piece.

Tropical Foliage #10

I hope you have enjoyed my page today, happy creating memory keepers.

The Best thing about Memories is Making them (22/04/2019)

Hello Dusty FANattics 

Its Jen Burns on the blog today with a layout of MYSELF !
I know right ! How many of us do layouts or even take photos of ourselves for that matter, NOT enough of us I'm thinking, so my challenge to you is next layout you create, make it one of yourself.  
This was taken in January at one of my Daughter-in-laws birthday get together's, it was a gorgeous sunny day with family and friends all around and of course wine!

After I cut the string frame I used Vintage Remnants #9, blue section behind the smaller piece of frame and used this as backing for adding my Designer Disks onto.

Most of my chipboard I have coloured white with the exception of the String frame and the Deer Antlers which I painted With Impasto paint by Finnabair "Aubergine" 

The Deer head I covered and matted my photo using the middle of the background paper

Dream....

I have many things that I love, Reindeer, Rocking Horses, Crowns, Fleur DeLis, Shabby anything, birds, bird cages, Wings and of corse along with birds comes feathers and butterflies and dragon flies !

(I even have a feathers tattoo around a dream catcher symbol on my thigh!)

 

 

So this layout pretty much sums up some of the things I love all in one creation !

This paper is just stunning and perfect for this photo that a gorgeous Jen Hall took at Camp Mojo !

I have used two pieces of the same sheet to 3D the butterflies and moths and I have used the back to matt my photo as well.

 

 

I started with adding Dusty Attic Chocolate paint to the new DA Texture Paste and using the Fan stencil added extra pattern and depth to the top and bottom corners and here and there over the entire page.

Hot Chocolate DA 0923

  

Texture Paste  DA 1218



I then added doodling around the edges and different designs of washi tapes and triangles added around as well.



Mini tutorial on making your own feather pebbles :

Stick your feathers to the paper with double sided tape and place your clear pebble over the piece you want to use. Cut around the pebble and sand, then ink around the edges

Wha-Lah, done !

I have used the circle frame set as the dream catchers and wound wool around the edges. Gold thread and beads complete the web section of the Dream catcher

 



Circle frame set DA0490

 



The feathers I have inked with a brown and golden green ink pads then used 13 Arts Gold Glitter paint and gold thread and beads to finish them off. These feather charms are some of my absolute favorites of Dusty Attics !

 

Feather Charm #2 DA1381



Feather Charm #3 DA1382

 

Feather Charm #4 DA1383

 

 

Behind the large dream catcher are craft feathers, white and brown mixed together, the photo is mounted using the back of the second piece of paper with some chipboard behind it to add height.

 

 





 

I have added Metal embellishments, the Crown and mini feathers with beads. 

 

Lightly brushed the 13 Arts Gold glitter paint over the mini feathers and added a new bird design that allows you to have the background as anything you wish as they are two pieces where one sits on top of the other.



 

Mini Feathers DA0650

 

Doves DA1407



Tucked into the ripped edge Peep hole are some more fluffy craft feathers, with washi tape and another layered dove. I have added Liquid pearls to the paper as little dots randomly on the page, the wings and on the metal crown.

 

 I used to do Paper Tole and love it when I can add other crafts I have learnt into my creations - hence why I usually get two or three pieces of the same paper, to make sure I have enough to 3D the main elements. Helmar "Liquid Scrap Dots" (LSD) is what I use to keep the wings up for the flying type of effect.

Thank you for joining me today
