If you think...... with Dusty Attic

Good morning how are you? Theres nothing like a little cold weather to get creating, and just to play around in my studio, with a hot cup of coffee or two.  With that in mind why dont you give the Dusty Attic Moodboard a go and why wouldnt you want to? 

Isnt it stunning?

Dusty Attic Chipboard - Mandala, Ornate Circle Frames, Elegant Chain, Title.

The way I started was give all the chipboard a spray with white spray paint. Once it was dry add a photo to the ornate frame.

Foam mount the mandala to the centre of the page, alternatively use the out side of the chipboard cut out and glue it to give you layers..... its the perfect way to save some money on foam tape and help cut down your waste.

 Also the money you save on the tape means you can buy more Dusty Chipboard right ?

Add the photo to the centre of the mandala, also using some left over chipboard to add some height.... Then add the elegant chain to the base of the frame also mounting to add some layers between the two pieces.

I added some rubons to the background to make a little Ombre effect.

Then added the title to the left hand side.

Now its all about the finishing touches, some acetate leaves and some leave rubons.

To complete the look I added a lot of rhinestones throughout the background.

I hope this inspires you to play along with the mood board.

Awesome

 Good morning I am getting in early as sickness has hit my poor girl yesterday and last night, needless to say this mumma is going to need a nap or two and has been never more grateful that darling hubby is flying in this morning, which is always nice to have some back up if things get worse or a visit to the ED is needed. 

Today I am sharing a layout of my girl for her last book week, you would have notice I have been sharing a few of these photos. I have been working on the front and the back of the one peice of pattern paper, this is a great way to use those papers that you cant decide which side also it means you can put a series of photos of an event in your albums.

And on a special note the flowers on this layout are the leftovers that were used on her dress....

You stole my heart with Dusty Attic

Good morning how are you? I am here today to share with you the first Dusty Attic Sketch challenge !!!! So you now have the opportunity to win with either the Mood board or Sketch so how good is that ?

I am a huge fan of sketches, I love that they give you a starting point for your work to evolve from there.

Do you love sketches?

So without further ado here is the sketch. 

 

#16 & #17/365

 So to start off my interpretation of the sketch I started with working the background papers and getting that all squared away with the layers.....

Then I focused on my photos and what series of photos I need to fill out the double layout.

Now you might notice that the instead of the three photos on the left hand side, there are two, I love things to be in odds so rather than 8 photos I wanted 7 ( Plus this works well if you dont quite have enough). 

So where the other photo would be I made a tag cluster alternative you could add a journal block.

Next is about adding the embellishment clusters, to start off with to give you a base to work off, add Branch #3 in the middle of the pages and then work on fussy cutting and making height to add the chipboard pieces........

Then ones you have the fussy cutting pieces down, add the maiden fern throughout the embellishment strips.

The aim is to weave the fussy cutting, die cuts and chipboard in and out of each other making it seem like one.....

With the spacing you can afford to add a larger title.

If you dont like your hand writing print it !!!  Add a gap in between each line so you can give yourself plenty of room to cut and stick on your page.

I added rhinestones and clear sequins around the background dont forget to add some trails in between the photos, to tie the two pages together.
