Daddys Girl

Good morning how are you? I am here today to share a little inspiration based on this months Dusty Attic Moodboard.

Moodboards often feel complicated, more often or not they have a group of colours that compete and can feel like your dont know which ones to focus on. I like to pick a group that goes together as my main focus and then introduce the other colours is smaller portions.

By doing this your helping your main colours pop.

So I started with a neutral background, to introduce my purples as my main group. So with a stencil and my Tim Holtz Distress Crayons, I just scribbled them through the stencil and then smudged with my finger.....

I love this technique because I didnt want make the page wet, especially when your time poor.

To get the metallic waxes to pop I started off with the base of Dulux Grey Chalk paint then once this was dry then I went over with Finnabar Wax Electric Violet and blended with Firebird.

Start off by Electric Violet wax all over your chipboard and the add a small amount of Firebird wax to highlight edges to add your small orange to tie back in with the moodboard.

Add some prills to your layers as another pop of purple.....

''Today'' with Alexandra Renke

Good morning how are you all? Busy, busy here with school holidays just kicking off here in Western Australia , but this is the best time to get creative in this house, as the kids need a rest and a recharge with Pajama days the norm... and with it being Winter whats better than that?

I am here today to share a layout using a stunning piece for Alexandra Renke papers and this time including the stunning fine cut dies!!!

The paper is stunning on its own with a touch of gold the trick I had when creating this layout was how to showcase it and add my own touches on it...... some mist and mini prills was the perfect way to add to the background.

The dies are amazing!!! They have such fine details which you just cant go past!!! They really do enhance the background, and they work so well in white creating a negative space on the detailed background.
