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...

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.

~ It's Time to be Kind to Yourself ~
April 2023 Dusty Attic Design Team Project

Hello Blogfriends...

Today I am back with my Design Team Project for Dusty Attic.

For this Layout I used papers from Prima's Watercolor Floral Collection. I used two of the same sheets, trimming the top one a little smaller, distressing it and lining up with the bottom one. From the other sheet I cut several strips of paper, distressed them and added Blue and Pink Old Fashion Ribbons to them. I then Handstitched on top of the ribbons. I raised the strips for extra dimension to the page. I also used a stencil and embossing paste on the background, embossed with Lavender Speckle Embossing powder from Ranger.

On the Dusty Attic Chipboards, Swirly Flourish #2 and the Mystic Frame #2, I embossed them with two layers of white UTEE ( Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel)

Whilst the enamel was still hot, I sprinkled Love Letter Embossing Powder from Ranger and Raspberry Lemonade from Lindy's Stampgang onto it and heat set it again with a Heat gun. The UTEE makes the embossing powders melt and move and results in a gorgeous Marbled effect.

I embossed the Large Seagrass Chipboard with Ice Age Embossing powder from Cosmic Shimmer. To add a little touch of Bling, I flicked diluted soft gel, on the page dusted with Distress Garland Glitter from Ranger.

The flowers are from 49 and Market.

These are the Chipboards used from the Dusty Attic On-line Store...

Thank you once again for viewing my work...Happy Crafting till next time.

Three things in human life are important.

The first is to be kind.

The second is to be kind.

And the third is to be kind.

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...
