March 2021 Dusty Attic Moodboard

Hello dear Dusty Attic friends....

Todays share is a Canvas that I created using the March Moodboard colors as inspiration. I used two heart shaped Jigsaw puzzles on the canvas. Now the puzzles are not from Dusty Attic, but I am linking the Jigsaw Pieces that are available in the on-line store should you wish to create something similar....

I covered the Canvas with rice-paper, placed the first heart on it and sealed all with clear Gesso. I used paper paste from Finnabair through a stencil. After drying I painted with Yellow Amber Rainbow Color from 13arts mixed with water.

I shadowed the Heart and the edges of the canvas with some Ink Black Liquid Acrylics.

I took a few pieces of the second puzzle and foiled them with some Gilding Flakes. I then grunged them with a little Brown Rust effect Paste and Rusty Patina Paste by Cadence.

The Moon by Nuneka for Dusty Attic and Mini Monarch Butterflies were embossed with Industrial Revolution Embossing Powder from Cosmic Shimmer. I embossed the Foliage # 23 and Leafy Scroll with Taos Sunset Baked Textures by Seth Apter for Emerald Greek.

I then proceeded to layer all the pieces starting with the Leafy Scroll and adding the Puzzle pieces and Foliage with the Moon. I used some Phoenix Effect Paste from Finnabair to add some sparkle and shine to the grungy look of the canvas.

Added elements are a Resin frame, also foiled and a Paperdoll and Transparent wings from Tim Holtz.

I do hope someone feels inspired to create something similar...

In the Dusty Attic On-line shop you will find all the items I have used.

Dusty Attic February 2020 DT Project

Hello Blogland friends....

For my February Design Team project for The Dusty Attic Blog, I created a canvas again...I really love playing on a canvas with different elements and media, so much FUN learning and experimenting!

I added some texture with White Sand Texture paste. I began by gluing the Scroll on the canvas, gesso'd and painted the background with different Art Alchemy Paints. The Scroll was painted with Opal Magic: Violet-Green. Depending on the angle it will show either the Green or the Violet shade...

The background was painted with the following, Sparks Fairy Wing and Raven Black, Metallique Rustic Brown, Opal Magic Green-Gold.

The Cogs, Industrial Balloon, Globe and Clock were painted with the Fairy Wings Spark. I then used different waxes on the painted chipboard as well as on the raw Mini Pipeworks and Mitform Casting elements...Firebird, Lucky Emerald, Mystic Turquoise, Old Denim and White Gold.

I find it very rewarding that, with the right treatment of the chipboard, one can hardly tell the difference between chippies and metal elements!

Hope someone will be encouraged to try their hand at something similar...

Find the chipboard used and many more in the Dusty Attic On-line shop.

Canvas for 13arts - July 2018

Good day crafting friends....

Today I am sharing a colorful canvas created for 13Arts as my July Design Team post. Drawing inspiration from the awesome colours of the Challenge of the month I kept to the Blues and Yellows. Hope you have entered already? There are still a few days left to do so....

I used the Swirl Stencil and Modeling paste to add a little detail to the corners. Also scrapped the palette knife clean on the opposite corners to get some texture there as well. I sprayed the canvas with the Yellow chalk Ink. The Dusty Attic frame was gesso'd and painted with the Vivid Yellow Paint and added to the canvas. After adding the flowers and pieces of the Twig I added more color with Yellow Lemon Rainbow Color.

I layered a wooden Wing set that was painted with Emerald Color Glow and Blue Metallic Paints with another frame, some yellow colored Gauze and a Resin Face. I colored the frame, face and resin swirls with Navy Blue Splash Ink. I just love how the ink reacts so differently when water is added. On the frame and swirls I left it concentrated whilst I sprayed some water and used a wet wipe on the face. It gives a softer, almost chalk-like finish. I also used the wipe to color the edges and corners of the canvas. Also added splashes with the Splash brush and Splash.

Some white roots, a few stars elements from the New Under the Stars A4 element Sheet and a little gold leafing and my canvas was done!

January 2019 - Dusty Attic Moodboard Project

Hello Dear Blog Friends....

I often get asked how does one use and interpret a Moodboard....

A Moodboard should inspire you with its colours, Images and overall feeling ...You can take either all or some of the colours that inspire you, maybe an image speaks to you or some moodboards have phrases or titles that you can use.

As you will see with this month beautiful Dusty Attic board, we have soft Aqua looking colours and the beautiful waves and shoreline image. Now I have to admit that my canvas started out quite differently. I had tissue tape and lovely tissue paper on it all going for a beach theme...and then I changed direction and rather used the colours but went for a more industrial looking canvas!!! Just showing that you can really go where your Mojo leads you.

I also want you to see that there is all that extra chipboard that we should keep and utilise...Yes, I'm talking of the of-cuts / negatives that one tends to throw away! Not only are they perfect to use behind photos or embellishments to lift them, but some have the most amazing designs that can be used as well. Here I have used the of-cuts from the Industrial Corners and also the insides from the ATC frames. I embossed them with an embossing folder to add texture to them.

After adding the different tapes and changing my mind, I added a thick, rough layer of Plaster paste on the canvas. I stamped with a texture stamp to add texture and interest. I also added layers of embossed cutoffs and other chipboard elements. After a layer of Gesso and drying, I added my firsts layer of colour, A Bit o' Bubbly from Lindy's Stampgang.

The Industrial Corner was Gesso'd and sprayed with the same Spray. The wings of the Winged Keys got a rub of Mystic Turquoise Antique Wax. As for the rest I painted and sprayed with the following products. Matte Turquoise Paint and Pearl Turquoise Light Mist from 13Arts, Sassy Sapphire from Lindy's and Blue Green and Cool Grey Rust Effect Pastes. I also used Blue Light Fine Grained Grit from 13Arts in places.I used White Gold Metallique Wax to highlight certain areas.

The next 3 photos are just to show a little before all the mist and paints and elements were added.

I hope I have inspired you to also give the Moodboards a try.
