Boys will be Boyz - Dusty Attic March Mood Board

Hello everyone and welcome to March ! 

Today I am here to reveal my layout for the Dusty Attic Mood Board, here is the gorgeous monochromatic challenge of Black, grey and white. 

BOYS WILL BE BOYZ

A little while back I went 4 wheel driving with my oldest son and the Grandbabies. 
Mason (at 3 yr old) actually steers and drives up and down the sand dunes and on the beach. 
It really is a case of   "Boys will be Boyz" in their household. He loves anything to do with cars, planes, trains, pushbikes, diggers and dirt bikes with dirty wheels. 

I started with using the Tracks stencil and added some tyre tracks around the outsides of the page.

The Title I have just left as black and white over the photograph to stand out, same as the black stars and parts of the pulleys.

The remaining of the chipboard I have used the black paint and added white to it in different increments to form different shades of grey

After layering the cogs I have added some metal hexagon nuts.

The keys I have coloured the same way and then hung them from a metal clip.  

For your chance to win a $50 credit to the Dusty Attic website   just add your own take of the gorgeous challenge to the comments section in the Dusty Fanattics   Facebook page.

Hiya everyone

Today I am sharing my take on the November Mood Board for Dusty Attic

I was inspired by the colours in the board - especially the Blues and yellowish orange

All you have to do is add your link to your blog on the right hand side bar.

 

 

 

 

 

I started with the background and added the Splat stencil with the texture paste mixed with DA Paint Sunshine yellow with a touch of  Sunburnt orange 

 

Sunshine DA0905      

 

Sunburnt Orange DA0906

 

Texture Paste  DA1218

Stencils - Splat - DA1329

 

 

Then I used the Denim paint with the texture paste

(as the paste is white it makes the paint colour you use lighter) with the arrows stencil.

Then I dropped blotches of white gesso here and there 

 

Denim DA0914

 

 

I used any left over texture paste and mixed it together to create the Green colour that I have used behind the Hot Air Balloon background
(and dry brushed a little gesso over it to show the texture) 

 

 

 

The Blueprint Discover word and the Blueprint rocket where both painted and then I added some silver glitter over the top of portions of it to stand out, I also used a different colour paper behind the rocket.   

 

 

Having the Orange straws behind the word makes it "pop", I also used micro beads to add extra texture to the background as well.

THREE !!!

I totally fell in love with the 7 Dots studio papers - Destination Unknown!

My other Love of corse is Dusty Attic chippy

and MOST of all is  KYDEN !!
When did he become Three ?

(although it is only two more months and he will be FOUR)   

 

Some of the things he loves at the moment are

Swimming, Playdates (with his little partner in crime- Cadence!), Pretzels, The Fairy Mines (which is the pine forrest near my house), Moobies  ! and of corse he can not get enough of SUPERHERO's !
ALL of them
Superman, Batman, Flash, Hulk, Thor, Iron Man, Wonder Woman, Hawk Girl, Captain America, Wolverine, Green Lantern and the list goes on and on and on...  

 

I used different Martha Stewart punches and took bits out of some of the edges then put the green behind to add a bit of colour

 

I have used a mask and black crackle medium to add some grunge to the background

Then machine stitched around the layout and the photo. The circles are clear pebbles from Prima and I have laid them over some quotes that I love 

(He is definatley my "Happy")

 I left the Dusty Attic Chipboard raw which is something I rarely do but it really suited the paper and layout. I have used TWO of the new releases as well.

( I can see me using the arrows and diamond ALOT actually )

 

The other little letters are the mini alphabet stickers from Tim Holtz, add a little bit of washy tape and some little white dots and its finished.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

2015 - wow !
when did that happen ??

 

Below is one of the projects that I did to enter the Scapbooking Memories Masters competition.

I love the criteria they give you every year, this one really got my mojo flowing and I love what I created. 

 

This is my Art Journal cover - I have added lots of photos because it is so dimensional and has layer upon layer.

 

 

I have used Bo Bunny paper in the background that also has a pipework pattern.

The edges of the piece are using Dusty Attics Corregated card, painted with Dusty attic silver paint and lots of different Tattered anglel Mists and embossing powders to give the rust effect  

 

 

The enamel embossing powder I used gave it that "mottled, mouldy look" I was going for. 

 

 



I distressed and bent the chipboard so much to make it look worn and old .
Dusty Attic chippy is so thick and is awesome for doing this to.

 

 

I added wire and metal bits and pieces
