Believe in Love - Cards
July 2023 Dusty Attic Design Team Post

Good Day dear Blog friends...

Due to health reasons I have been absent for a while...But today I want to share with you these two cards I made for Dusty Attic using paper from 49 & Market.

I did some Hand stitching on the top of the four layers. I also used a few 49 & Market Rub-on leaves. I made some splatters with diluted gel medium and embossed it with Speckled Egg Distress Embossing Glaze.

I painted the Dreamcatcher Designer Discs and the Branch and Berries with Cappuccino Paint from Stamperia and embossed them with Vintage Beeswax Baked Texture from Emerald Creek.

The Decorative Panel and Wrought Iron Fence were embossed with Chunky Rust Baked Texture and Steel Embossing Powder from Ranger.

Some flowers and Old Fashion Ribbons and two sentiments are the final touches to my cards...

I do hope you have enjoyed this short post and feel inspired to get creative with some of the gorgeous chipboard designs from the Dusty Attic On-line Shop...

Time is too slow for those who wait,

too swift for those who fear,

too long for those who grieve,

too short for those who rejoice,

but for those who love,

time is eternity.

Celebrate - Cards
June 2022 Dusty Attic Design Team Project

Hello Friends...

I am Happy to share these two cards with you as my Dusty Attic Design Team Project for the month.

I used plain cream Cardstock, distressed the edges with Hickory Smoke Distress Ink and layered them. I used two Dusty Stencils, Butterflight and Threaded Beads with Texture paste for the background.

I then used Rose Quartz and Fire Opal Color Glow from 13 Arts spritzed with water. I also inked with the Hickory Smoke and splattered with diluted white Gesso.

I used Chocolate Box Mega Gilding Flakes from Indigo Blue on the Balloons, Creative Script, Dripping of the Candle and the top of the Gingerbread Heart. After Gesso'ing the Candle and base of the Heart, I colored them with the same color glow.

I inked the two Titles with the Hickory Smoke Ink and embossed them with Kitsch Flamingo Distress Embossing Glaze.

Thank you for looking at my work this month...

You can find these and many more in the Dusty Attic On-line shop.

~ Two Cards ~
February 2022 Dusty Attic Blogpost

I am back again with two cards created as my Dusty Attic Blogpost for the month.

I used papers from 49 & Market, Coral an Sage Mini collections 6x6 as well as some Laser Cut-outs.

I wanted the frames to look antique without using many products or techniques. First of all the chipboard was primed with white Gesso. I achieved this look by painting Lindy's Stampgang Starburst Sprays onto the frames. The trick is to put a good amount of spray on, I use a paintbrush, and then dry it with a Heatgun moving the paint around. Continue doing this putting paint down in random spots and drying in between. The micas in the paint form beautiful borders resulting in interesting designs. On this frame as well as the title I used Magnolia Magenta Gold Spray.

On the Twine Bows and Mini Hearts I used Art Alchemy Waxes, Shabby Pink, Fire Red and Old White.

On this gorgeous one the colors are Tibetan Poppy Teal Spray with Sage Leave, Fire Ruby and Old White waxes.

Two beautiful Be-jeweled flowers ( from Prima I think ), some Chunky Glitter and the cards are done!

Life is like a blanket too short.

You pull it up and your toes rebel,

you yank it down and shivers meander about your shoulder;

but cheerful folks

manage to draw their knees up

and pass a very comfortable night.

Sentiment Cards ~
August 2021 Dusty Attic Blogspot

Good day dear Dusty and Blog friends...

Today as my Dusty Attic Blogpost I am sharing two easy to construct, but still gorgeous, cards with you.

This is not a long post but I do hope it will inspire the crafters who might not have much time too craft to give these lovely cards a go...

On my White cardstock base I used two layers of papers from 49 & Market The Vintage Artistry Natural collection. I distressed the papers, added some stenciling and also used Roughly Sewn Rub-ons.

The Queen Vintage Frames by Nuneka were simply embossed with Mixed Media Iron Age embossing powder from Cosmic Shimmer.

The Card sentiments were Gesso'd and the edges embossed with three layers of Vintage Beeswax embossing powder from Emerald Greek.

I used two Prima Resin frames that I coloured with Graphite Wax and highlighted with Bronze Age and Rose Gold waxes.

A crochet doily and flower are added to finish of the cards...
