Notebook for Dusty Attic November 2020 Moodboard

For this month beautiful Moodboard from Dusty Attic, I chose to decorate a Notebook cover. I loved the soft Peachy and pink colors and chose them as the main color scheme.

After two layers of heavy gesso I added stenciling with texture paste and white crackling paste from Prima. While still wet I sprinkled Antiquities Embossing powder from Ranger; California Stucco on top of the stencil pattern. I let it to dry naturally and then heat set the embossing powder.

I placed the gesso'd Ornate Frame #2 on the cover and sprayed it all with Cape Cod Coral and Fussy Navel Peach Sprays from Lindy's Stampgang. Also added Amber Color Glow from 13Arts.

I embossed a twig from the Leafy Frame set #2 and a frame from the ATC Frame set #3 with Orbit Olive Gold Embossing Powder also from Lindy's.

With a few Glass pebbles, Lace and Prima flowers and leaves, I have a perfect handmade gift ready at hand!

The act of putting pen to paper

encourages pause for thought,

this in turn

makes us think more deeply about life,

which helps us regain our equilibrium.

~Create Art~
Dusty Attic DT February 2018

Hello to all my blog friends.

Beginning of a new month means that it's my turn again on the Dusty Attic blog post. Once again I have used my favourite chipboards to decorate a Journal Cover. I have quite a few of these Journals and use different ones for different types of Art. For this one I mixed a little rusty industrial with a little bit of Shabbiness. I am loving the look I achieved of using Lindy's Stampgang Embossing Powder on the Rust effected chipboards.

The paper and flowers are from 49&Market, the Scents of Nature collection.

All the pieces where gesso'd. I then added different colours of Prima Rust Pastes. I used Brown and Red paste, and mixed a little blue acrylic paint with Mint Green Patina Paste which gave me the Bluish Purple colour. I also embossed with the following embossing powders, Cosmic Pink Blue and Raspberry Lemonade. The trellis parts of the Industrial Scroll was painted with Iris Potion Sparks Paint from Prima.

On the white flowers from 49&Market I rubbed some waxes, Royal Robes Opal Magic and Bronze Age Metallique Wax.

The title was embossed with Cosmic Pink Blue and Lapis Lazuli Blue Gold embossing powders. I also sprinkled some of the Blue Gold on the corrugated board...The little Butterfly was embossed with both the Cosmic Pink Blue and the Raspberry Lemonade.
