Unscripted - with Dusty Attic

 Good morning how are you?

 I am back today to show you the feminine version of my first layout this month and I have a step by step for you explaining the process of building up your page.

To start off grab a lead pencil and your Brick wall stencil and just randomly trace around the stencil. 

I did the tracing  close to the top and the opposite on the bottom.

Now for the layers, I just used some left over papers, project life cards and some diecut sheets and distressed the edges to add some texture.

Now time to add some elements - half a gold doily, and some fussy cut flowers.....

I have marked out roughly where I want my photos to go but I am not too fussed about the sizing as I will see what I have printed.

After I have added the photos I will cluster some enamel dots in the top right hand side, the bottom right hand side and the bottom left hand side.

I sprayed the chipboard with Dulux Chalk Charcoal once that was dry add a combination of Finnabar Waxes - Vintage Gold, Sweet Rose and Indian Pink.

The other chipboard pieces are just sprayed with a white chalk from Rustolem.

Now its time to add the white elements.... like the extra cogs and nuts from the Industrial Cluster.

Then add the title over the top of that. This time I left the ''life'' off it to just change its a little bit.

Simply Adore - With Dusty Attic

Good morning how are you? Its starting to get to the hectic part of the year which means less and less time in the studio which I don't mind, I just got to make it count when I get in there right? 

This months Dusty Attic Mood board is all you need to call you into your scrappy space, what's not to love about the soft, earthy tones and the possibilities are endless.... 

Don't you think? 

This time I am going steam punk inspired picking up the tones of green and cream.... and really playing off the shapes, textures and layers. 

When I do this style of layout I like to keep my chipboard a neutral tone and this allows you to see the details of it even though its white.

Make your own title with your alphas and a word.... nothing like mixing it up !!!

Layering your chipboard with your fussy cutting is a great way to use up left over bits and pieces, I have bags of butterflies, steam punk elements from years of scrapping all ready to go and be used so that is what I did, set yourself a challenge and use elements rather that whole sheets of paper.

When spraying your chipboard dont go hard, lightly dusting it will give you a more shabby look and then varying shades....

So why dont you give the mood board a go?

''Junk Journal'' - for Annas Craft Cupboard

Hi, how are you? Rikki here today to share some of the inside of the ScrapFx Steam Punk Junk Journal.....

So to start add some of your Tim Holtz Oxides through your stencils to your background, layering them over the top of each other- one of the advantages is with the Tim Holtz Oxides is the colours will sit on top of each other and dont turn to a muddy mess.....

 

Dont forget to add archival inks to the edges.... so it ties into the effect you have done with your front cover...

The ScrapFx Junk Journal is full of fun pages - like maps,transparencies and tags....

 

 

Hit your pages with water.... and once dry go back over the top with more stencils and oxides..... dont forget to get your stamps to add more details.
