~~~ Sweet Memories ~~~January 2023 Dusty Attic DT Project

Good day dear Bloggy friends at this first Blogpost for 2023!

For my first post for Dusty Attic I chose again this lovely photo of Chantelle at her Matric Farewell Dance. 

I used papers from 13Arts, the Aria Story and Out of the Blue Collections. I distressed the papers by punching random borders and used several rub-ons as well.  

I gesso'd the Fancy Frame, Broken Bits and Mini Caption. The 'sweet' I painted with Salvaged Patina Distress Paint. The Frames and Broken Bits were painted with a Yellow Acrylic Paint, Warm Red paint from Stamperia and Crackling Campfire Distress Paint. I also splashed some watered down gesso on them.

On the Iron Garnish and 'Memories' I used Dublin Metallic Flakes from Finnabair.

The Dusty Attic On-line Store is filled with these and many many more amazing designs...

or you can call it experience

~~ 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.

~~~ Gather Together ~~~April 2022 Dusty Attic Moodboard

Hello dear Blog Friends...

I think this Family photo fit the Dusty Attic Moodboard just perfectly! I teamed the Dusty Attic Chipboards with papers from the 49 & Market Vintage Artistry Collection as well as Flowers, Washi Tape and Rub-ons.

 

I used Red Blaze Gilding Flakes from Cosmic Shimmer on the Love Arrows and the Tropical Foliage Leaves. The Lacey Flowers are painted with Crackling Campfire and Speckled Egg Distress Paint and embossed with Speckled Egg Distress Embossing Glaze. 

I did some distressing, hand stitching and layering with paper strips on the top and bottom of the layout. I took the Title for the page from this 49 & Market Rub-on sheet. 

From the Dusty Attic On-line Shop I used the following Chipboard pieces...
