A Boy and his Dog - layout created for the Dusty Attic Chipboard

Hello there Dusty Fans, so glad you could make it to another blog post, Hetty with you today!

Jennifer has designed the most amazing pet chipboard and in this particular instance it was perfect for my next project below. Don't you just love that gorgeous impact title?

A Boy and his Dog

I used some Colour Blast paper for my background and covered all the chipboard pieces bar the title in silver embossing powder. Once I picked the position for my photo I arranged all the chipboard pieces until I was happy with the design. Next I added some gingernut paint to the title chippie and added. Last but not least I added all my 49 and Market flowers finished off with some prills.

You make me Smile - Mood board inspiration for the Dusty Attic Chipboard

Hey there Dusty Fans, welcome back to the blog for some more mood board inspiration. Mood boards are such a great way to get your creative juices flowing, sometimes I know exactly what I am going to create, other times I have got to think outside the box. This month I concentrated on the yellow, pink and grey/silver.

You make me Smile

I used some gorgeous Colour Blast paper for the background and you will find all the Dusty Attic Chipboard pieces I used below with link back to the store. I covered all my chipboard pieces with grey paint also from Dusty Attic and simply sponged it on it adds a bit of a grunge look. I cut down the Triangle panel a bit and added my photo on top of it with a piece of cardboard for dimension and placed it on my background paper. I then started playing around with my design by placing all the other chipboard pieces around my photo. I also made some flowers from white mulberry paper and dies and sprayed them with some Kaisercraft spray ink to match the colours of my layout. The leaves were die cut from white cardstock and simply coloured with some distress ink. Once I was happy with y design I stuck it all down with my trusty glue gun using lots of layering.

The Perfect Day - Layout created for The Dusty Attic Chipboard

A very Happy New Year to you all, I hope it is going to be a fabulous one and that you had a fantastic Christmas spend with family and friends. 

I was very lucky indeed to have been invited back for another term on this fabulous team so without further ado I would like to share with you a beach layout today seeing we are in the middle of Summer here in the Southern Hemisphere.

The Perfect Day

I simply love all the Dusty Attic Stencils, this birds stencil is no exception and I added it to my Colour Blast background paper with some crackle paste. While that was air drying I added some distress embossing powder to my fish net, sentiment and shells using two different colours. I started playing around with my design by arranging all my chipboard pieces around my photo. I then added some gorgeous 49 and Market flowers. Once I was happy with my design I glued it all down using my trusty hot glue gun. To finish it all off I added some burlap which I cut into squares and rolled so I could tuck them amongst my flowers with some string as well. Love how it makes the layout look rather rustic. Last but not least I added three of the page pebbles which I left in their original raw state.

Beauty layout designed for Dusty Attic Chipboard

Good Morning Dusty Fans and welcome to my last blog post for 2019. Can you believe it is nearly Christmas? I don't know where this year has gone. Today I am sharing a layout created based on this month's stunning mood board and used lots of 49 and Market goodies as well as several gorgeous Dusty Attic Chipboard pieces, I particularly love that chandelier and frame.

 I mainly picked the purple and aqua colours from the mood board with a touch of brown or in my case gold by simply adding some opal magic - violet to all my chosen chipboard pieces. When you add it to plain chipboard it really brings out the gold hues with a touch of violet, depending on the light. Once painted I set all my chipboard pieces aside to start working on my design by choosing my background paper and flowers, all of course from 49 and Market. I played around with my design for a while, sometimes this take longer then a while but this layout came together fairly quick. I added some white gesso to some of the flowers to soften the colours a bit and finished it by adding some artstones.

Dusty Attic Products Used:

 Broken Bits #4 - Marrakesh

 Squiggly Frame #5

 Vintage Chandelier #4

That is all for now, thanks so much for dropping in.

Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year, hope to see you all in 2020.

Until then.....

Freeze Frame layout designed for The Dusty Attic Chipboard

A very good morning Dusty Fans and welcome back to the blog, hope your day is going well. Below I would like to share with you another layout using loads of yummy Dusty Attic Chipboard pieces as well as my favourite 49 and Market papers and flowers.

'Freeze Frame'

 

 

 

I used several different Dusty Attic Chipboard elements but treated them all the same by covering them in some metallic silver paint to keep it uniform. I love how they all blend in perfectly amongst the gorgeous 49 and Market elements. I simply added the swirly flourish in between all my layers of flowers and laser cuts. I feel the metallic silver gives it a touch of elegance. Next I randomly picked some of my favourite chipboard pieces and played around with my design until I found the look I was happy with. Stars are always a big favourite, they go with any style or theme. To finish my design I picked some left over pieces from other projects like the border and the Word Tag, love these so much, they are simply adorable and cute.
