~~~There is only one Happiness in Life...~~~February 2019 - Dusty Attic Moodboard Project

Good Day Blogger Friends...

This months Colour scheme for the Dusty Attic Moodboard is just right up my alley! Gorgeous muted, earthy tones.

I had the perfect Embroidery threads and papers from 13@rts to create my page. The papers used are, Something Borrowed, Something Blue and Bridesmaid Dress from the Vintage Summer Collection. The photo is from Pinterest...

I began my page by hand-stitching on several layers. Also did a little stencil work using texture paste coloured with Infusion Stains, Emerald Isle, Royal Blood and The Sage to get the correct shade.

The two Dusty Attic pieces,  Antique Frame and Ivy Corner #2 were coloured with several shades of Green, Beige and Champagne Acrylic paints. Also sprayed a little Lindy's Stampgang sprays on them. 

The Title Chippy was swiped with some Hickory Smoke Distress Ink.

Please create and take part in this month Challenge...there is still enough time left to be in line to win one of two $50 store Gift vouchers. This and much more is what you will find in the Dusty Attic on-line store....

I hope you enjoyed my project and those of my fellow Dusty Attic Design Team friends....

Till next time.

Infuse your life with action.

 Don't wait for it to happen. 

Make it happen. 

Make your own future. 

Make your own hope.

 Make your own love. 

And whatever your beliefs, 

honor your creator, 

not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, 

but by doing what you can to make grace happen

... yourself, 

right now, 

right down here on Earth..

~~~Trust where your Heart leads You~~~February 2019 - Dusty Attic DT Project

Hello Dusty Attic and Blogland friends....

Today I share my second DT project for 2019 with you all. I decided to use this dreamy looking photo of my Daughter Chantelle for this Lay-out. The sentiment from the Prima paper range Vintage Emporium is exactly my wish for her for this Year...Hoping that she may also realise some of her Dreams, or at least be at peace with where she is and where she might be going in Life....

Using three sheets from the Prima pack, I did some punching, hand-stitching and stencilling on the background. I used the Leaves #3 Stencil with Embossing Paste and heat embossed them with Cafe au Lait embossing Powder from Lindy's Stampgang. The chipboard Frames were Gesso'd, and also embossed with the Lindy's Embossing Powder. I sprayed them with Lilac Chalk Spray by 13Arts and heat them again...this results in the spray mixing into the Embossing. The longer you heat, the more the ink will mix in the Embossing leaving a faint colouring. I did two coats of Inking and also sealed the ink with a layer of clear embossing.

 

I did not like the golden colour of the Bamboo sticks, therefor I gesso'd them and embossed with Perissa Embossing Powder from WOW. The Foliage leaves were also embossed with the same Powder.

For texture and interest I added Builders Tape and Gauss coloured with Cocklebells Coral spray form Lindy's. Also some Minnie Pearls Prills.

I hope you enjoyed my rather Shabby Chic page for this month....
