~~A Memory to Hold~~
August 2018 Dusty Attic Moodboard

Hello dear Blogger friends....

This month the Moodboard from Dusty Attic is filled with soft Blues and Creams... I took my inspiration from the Suitcases, the weathered look of the ladder and a little bit of the measuring tape. My husband and I went away for the weekend a few weeks ago, hence the suitcases. I coloured my Chipboard pieces to resemble the look of the ladder and added a little Measuring Tape Washi Tape.


   



I used several pieces of 49 and Market papers. After distressing and layering the papers, I added ink and stamping to the background. I used Tumbled Grass and Stormy Sky Distress Oxide inks. Also used several stamps with the same inks.
This was followed with Stencil work using the Dusty Attic Creative Script Stencil and white Crackle Paste coloured with Sassy Sapphire Magical from Lindy's Stampgang. I added random Lindy's Embossing Powder, Tilt-a-Wheel Teal on the Crackle Paste as well. I also added some watered down Brown Rust Effect Past by Finnabair.



The Hearts from the Hearts Attack Border #2 were treated with Metallique Waxes, Bronze Age and Vintage Gold.





After Gesso, I painted the Seagrass #2 with Metallique light Patina Acrylic Paint and random embossing with the same Embossing Powder. Texture added by some Gauss and Seas the Day Prills. 









The Iron Garnish #2 and small Decorative Frame #1 were Gesso'd, painted and distressed with the Brown Rust Paste. The Perforated Mesh Border pieces peeping out, got painted with the Light Patina Paint and embossed with Tannenbaum Green Gold Embossing powder.

~Always in my Heart~
August 2018 Dusty Attic Design Team Project

Hello Blog Friends

Today I am sharing my DT page for Dusty Attic displaying this beautiful photo of my eldest daughter on her Matric Farewell many years ago. I used several sheets of Penelope Dee Papers from the Rosalee collection.







To keep to the rich blue colours of the Phoenix on her dress, I embossed the raw chipboard frames with Lindy's Stampgang Embossing Powder, Cosmic Pink Blue...It is one of the very effective EP that changes colours according to the background. Because I left the chipboard raw, I got this amazing Bluish two-toned effect. I added a few glass beads because Chantelle was in fact looking at Bubbles that we blew over her.









To match the Dress'es feathers, I used Dusty Attic's Mini Feathers. They got a light coating of white Gesso. I then brushed them with Antique Brilliance Wax, Fire Ruby and Opal Maxic Wax, Turquoise Satin. Also a light dry brush and splatters with Sparks Acrylic Paints, Magical Pond and Mermaid Sparkle.







On the background paper I did a little stencilling with Distress Ink using the Dusty Attic Bedazzled Stencil. I also added Texture Paste through the Confetti #2 stencil. I added Cosmic Pink Blue Embossing powder to it and Heat set it...this time I got the Pinker colour tone from the Embossing Powders. Also splattered some of the Sparks Paints.
