Sweet Moments Sentimental Cards
November 2022 Dusty Attic Design Team Project

Gooday Friends...

For today's Dusty Attic blogpost I have created two cards for you.

I used paper from the beautiful Mintay, City of Love collection.

It may not be easy to see, but I did some awesome coloring on the Lillies Chipboard. Firstly the chippies were coated with thin layer of white Gesso. I then used the following products applying and going over until I was satisfied with the result. I used Antique Rosewood Matt Chalk Polish from Cosmic Shimmer. Also used Pastel Dirty Pink and Patina Brown Mist from 13Arts as well as Bayou Boogie Gold Spray from Lindy's Stampgang. Somewhere in between I also used White Acrylic Paint as well...

The cute little Bees were embossed with Dessert Moon Turquois Embossing Powder from Lindy's. I stamped a stitched motif on the edges and embossed it with Turkish Nights Embossing Glitter from WOW!.

I painted the Hexagon pieces with a Pink Acrylic paint, when dry I embossed them with an embossing folder. I then scrapped Icicle Distress Crackle Paste from Tim Holtz in the crevasses and let it dry. I painted a little of the Patina Brown Spray on it to highlight the cracks.

I used a Gold and Rosewood foil to Heat foil the Mini Foliage and Leaves.

I used the following pieces from the Dusty Attic on-line shop.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post...Hope you enjoyed.

I still find each day too short

for all the thoughts I want to think,

all the walks I want to take,

all the books I want to read,

and all the friends I want to see.

Every Photo tells a Story
July 2022 Dusty Attic Moodboard

Hello all.

Today I am sharing another page with photos of my youngest Daughter with you using the sweet pastel colors of the July Moodboard from Dusty Attic.

I used papers from AB Studio, Love comes Again, Angel's Heaven and Ocean of Kisses from the So much Love collection.

I punched and handstitched the edges of the multi layers trying to incorporate all the lovely colours.

Technique wise I did not do much this time. Reason is I bought a new product and wanted to try it out without to much fussing.

So after Gesso on the chipboard I coloured them with Cosmic Shimmer's Matt Chalk polish. It's an interesting textured product, I would describe it being like Putty, and it gives a real lovely Matt coverage on the chipboard. Easy to apply with either a sponge or paintbrush.

I used the colors Aqua, Antique Rose and Custard on the various pieces. On the little Frangipani Blooms I used a sponge for the Custard Color and a Paintbrush for the Antique Rose in the inside. I also tried my hand with the Distressed Gilded Foundry Wax from Tim Holtz on the Leafy Corner and Spring Blooms.

A sprinkle of Rose Gold Glitter, Flowers, Lace Flowers and some Fussy cut elements and the page was done.

From the Dusty Attic On-Line Shop I used the Following...
