This WAS Super Fun - Dusty Attic

 

How awesome does this Tree Climb walk look right at our own backdoor at Yanchep National Park? Kyden and his Brothers had "Super Fun" 
The new 3Quarter Designs with Dusty Attic new collection called "Incredible Journeys" is perfect for these photos.

I have started with one of the new awesome Collage Frameworks Frames and painted with Stamperia Grey paint Dark to light Ombre style with dry brushing some light highlights. I have also painted the Hexagons by Nuneka the same way and added them to the sides of the framework.

The Toadstools pack 1 and 2 have been painted to look like mushrooms and layered at the bottom Cluster along with some foliage and mini Cobblestones.

"This was Super Fun" title was painted with Stamperia paints in an ombre fashion starting with Tortora at the tiop then Cappuccino and finished with Mattone which has also been used to paint the mini Filmstrips.

Super Gold has been dry brushed over the top to add highlights.

The Mini Gum trees have been painted the same way as the foliage then added brown to the branches and trunk then layered again with the Toadstools and Cobblestones.

You make me SMILE - Dusty Attic - January Mood Board 2023

 

Hello Dusty FANattics and welcome to the very first Mood Board challenge for the year! 

Hope you had a magnificent Christmas/Holiday season and are looking forward to an amazing creative year ahead starting with your chance to win one of two $50 (AUD) credits to the Dusty Attic Online Store.

"You make me SMILE" 

I chose this gorgeous paper that had all of the colourings from the new board and this photo of my beautiful grand daughter when she was littler.

First I cut a rectangle from the middle of the green backing paper to use a photo mat as well as an apricot piece that matches the paper.

Then cut the main patterned paper down to 11.5 x 11.5 to have a border around the edges which I have distressed and inked.

The Dress form and some of the Botanical mix I have sprayed white. The remaining Botanical mixes and Foliage clusters have been painted green with a darker green sponged on small portions to add depth.

The Flowers (#2) have been lightly painted with a pale peach colour then I have added some deeper orange in the centres and sponged edges.

The title has been painted with a pale peach colour then white sponged over the top.

It is super easy to enter the challenge, just add your take of the board into the comments section on the Dusty FANattics Facebook Page

1st Birthday - Dusty Attic July Mood Board Inspiration

\\

Hello Dusty FANattics and welcome to July mood board challenge, this is such a beautiful pretty board.

You could win one of two AUD $50 credits to the 
DUSTY ATTIC ONLINE STORE 

This layout is of my beautiful little grand daughter on her FIRST Birthday. Her headband and tutu have the colours of the Mood Board in them so was perfect for this challenge. 

I wanted to create a magical little scene as she looks like a little fairy herself. So I started with the new large Gnome, butterflie and Songbirds.

 

I have spray painted all of my chipboard pieces with white matt paint and let dry.

Then  I have used watercolour paints to colour all of the pieces, when you have painted over the top you can use a damp brush to then lift paint off, like the white sections on the toadstools, wings on the songbirds and parts of the large gnome.

The 1st Birthday title I have left white and adhered it to the photo and added one of the songbirds at the top. The wings can be adhered straight or on an angle like I have to look like it is in use.

After making a cluster with the toadstools I have added botanical mix pieces, the cute little one that looks like love hearts is a fav of mine together with pink and mint flowers. 

I have coloured the large gnome also with watercolours, at first I had used too much and he was quite bright. Just use a baby wipe to take the colour off you don't want then I added some white gesso to his hat to add some texture. The finishing touch was adding words from the word strip #2 pack.

ARToptions Viken Waterfall album - 49 and Market

 

Hello 49 and Market Fans 
I am on the blog today to show you this super cute Waterfall set album completed with the beautiful NEW ARToptions Viken range. 

I have started with covering the outside pieces of the album with 12x12 papers then moved to the inside pages using the barcode strips and fabric tapes in the middle of the pages to also cover them.

Throughout the album I have used the ephemera pack and rub on transfers to decorate the pages after adding white photo mats all ready to add lots of photographs inside. The first page I have punched four circles out then covered them with fabric tape, cutting them in half and adhering to the top and bottom of the photograph mat.

Page nine in the album I have made a pocket from the 4x4 photo mat and some tags to add journalling or quotes to the page. Page eleven I have made a little flip page to open out to two photographs.

I have also used the 12x12 rub on transfers as well as the 6x8 set especially on the front and back cover. The Vintage Artistry Essentials Stitch washi tape set it amazing to then add to make it look like the pages have been sewn.
