With brave Wings she Flies
January 2020 Dusty Attic Moodboard

Hello Friends...

And in the blink of an eye the first month of 2020 is poeffff....gone!!!!

I had these cards made for the Moodboard challenge at Dusty Attic but had a bit of a battle to get them on my blog in time...

I used paper from the 'Sound of Spring' collection from Ciao Bella.

All the chipboard pieces were Gesso'd. I used Ranger Mixed Media Powders, Punch and Sea to emboss the Frames and Numbers.

I stenciled with some Embossing Paste colored with 13arts Yellow Lemon Rainbow Color. I also added a little Bling with 13arts White Iridescent Glitter Powder.

The Foliage Leaves were first painted with a little of the Citrine Color Glow and embossed with two layers of clear UTEE. I sprayed a few drops of Lilac Chalk Ink on the warm embossing and Heat it again to make the ink mix in the embossing.

Find these and many more in the Dusty Attic on-line store....

Good-bey for now until my next post....

jumping off the cliff

and building your wings

on the way down.

~ Some Kind of Wonderful ~
January 2020 Dusty Attic Blogpost

And we are off to another year of Creative Magic here at Dusty Attic with a brand new Design Team with old returning, and new Team members for the Year!!! As usual I am very privileged and honored to stay another Year!!!

For this first project of the year I altered a big Wooden Spoon {18', 47 cm}. Let's just say it was made to pay homage to all the wooden spoons ever broken on some unlucky Bum or Hands!!!

First it was primed with white Gesso. Randomly applied white crackle paste and Strata Paste by Cosmic Shimmer. Once dry I painted using Dusty in Color Sunburned Orange and Sunshine Paints. I layered the two bigger elements of the Wrought Iron Design Set and the Luxury Scroll. Both were painted with the same paints as well as Dusty Pink on the Scroll.

The title was Gesso'd and painted with Art Alchemy Paints, Spring Blossom and Stormy Ocean. I added highlights with Peacock wax on the spoon and the Chipboard pieces.

For decorations I used a Prima floral Heart and a Resin Bird as well as flowers from my stash and some from 49 and Market.

I tucked some Mini Vines, painted with Stormy Ocean, between my flowers.
