Spooktacular with Dusty Attic

Good morning how are you? Is it time to knock off yet? No ? Only a few more days and I am away on retreat for Craft on the Run and its been over 3 years since I have been on retreat cause with hubby being fifo the schedule doesnt allow it, but by chance he is home when its on and I have to remember I have big kids home now, sorry young adults and I can leave them without any worries except the ones that creep in at stupid o'clock.... Am I the only one?

So to I am off to prep and figure out what to take without taking everything with me. But not before sharing another Creepy Crawly layout using the amazing Dusty Attic Halloween Chipboard.

The Skull template by far is my favourite, why not use a bit of paint and a sponge to create your own feature, embellishment..... and then with a little scalpel work around the eyes your ready to go...

Now to add some Creepy Crawlies, add some some gloss to give them a realistic look....

Need to show the details, add a little wax on your finger and build it up slowly to reveal all the little details.

Too Cute To Spook - With Dusty Attic

Good morning not long till school holidays start here in Western Australia so, for me its about catching up on the blogging and scheduling so I can spend most of the holidays with sleep ins, late nights , pjs and creative days.... well thats the hope.

What will you be getting up to in the holidays?

So I am on a mission to keep up the good habit of blogging and I have another layout this time a hidden interactive one celebrating the things that go bump in the night with Dusty Attics Halloween release.

Ever seen a piece of chipboard that you knew instantly what you where going to do with it?

This was the piece - Cemetery Gates #2.

Dont you love these layered Halloweenies Chipboards? 

The things you can do with them has no limits.

I love an interactive layout, plenty of space for the photos, and for journaling which I will do before I put it away in the album, something private for the family, I share everything with you amazing followers I just got to keep something for me.

Fright Night With Dusty Attic

Good morning how are you? Playing again with some of the new Dusty Attic Halloween Chipboards, I am amazed how many Halloween photos I have in my stash but I havent scrapped or printed out so this collection inspired me to get up to date and reminisce when we used to do the decorating for the kids and the neighbourhood before stupid covid came around.

 Hopefully some day soon we can continue the tradition.

So once again I was inspired by the stencils and out came the oxides for some messy fun, just swipe big lines onto your background with your oxide, I used Carved Pumpkin as my main orange first.

Once I was happy with it I hit it with a bit of water and then allowed to dry.

Then its back over the top with a blending brush though the stencil.

Now dont waste that ink that is left on the stencil, mist with water and use as a reverse stamp over the background and especially on the negative space on the background.

With the Dancing Skeletons, I sprayed them with Black Chalk Spray Paint, then used Finnabar Waxes - starting with White first, that allows some shading with the orange and red waxes. 

Highlight all the details on the spooky houses, with the waxes also.

I little Bit of Hocus Pocus - with Dusty Attic

Good morning how are you? Well its freezing cold here in Western Australia clearly Spring is running behind or knocked off? I hope we get some more sunshine soon but while we wait why not get creative and try some of those NEW RELEASED Dusty Attic Chipboard.

So to get started with this layout pull out a boarder punch, its a great way to use strips of papers up especially if you dont have a lot of papers left...... 

Simply stack the strips on top of each other and when you have the size you need just trim the sides to even them up....

Spray paint all your Dusty Attic Chipboard with a black spray paint I love the ones which are chalk based as they can be dressed up with some waxes which with Dusty Attic etched chipboard, is a great way to show case all the little details.

Dont forget to hit your title with a little bit of wax to show its details.

It’s Just a Bunch of Hocus Pocus

To start off I sprayed the chipboard pieces with a black chalk paint once it is dry this is where you can using your Lindys Stamp Gang mists and magicals to add details to the matte black chipboard.

Just drop the colours on and let them blend together to give you a shabby effect like on the tree.
