You are so Beautiful for Dusty Attic

Good morning how are you all? New month and a new Moodboard for Dusty Attic and I have to say its amazing!!!  This is one of my most favourite colour palettes to work with and you can see why.....

So please follow along on how I created the very layered layout, and dont forget to play along with this months moodboard.

So to start off the layout I used the Mandala #1 – by Nuneka and I did a huge amount of foam tape to get a lot of height, there is 4 layers as you can tell I am not afraid to add height, it allows me the freedom to add all my elements under and over and this helps when I do my glitter work.

The it was about the fussy cut mandala, it needed a bit of scalpel work I wanted to show the under layers of the first chipboard and once again its a great place to catch the glitter. It also has foam tape to add another layer.

Next add the photo, yes that also has foam tape in between is mat layers..... Then to add more layers add the Rainbow #4 small  add cloud over and under the rainbow, this is where the height on the mandalas helps.

Now to add some interest, I ran out of feathers but I wanted a dream catcher look for the mandala, so I needed to get thinking the Tropical Foliage #10 kind of looks like feathers and they are a great substitute when you dont have the real thing..... dont forget to layer them up and also group them together to give a better feather effect.

Time to add the chains throughout the layout, dont forget to add them in between the multiple layers!!!

Now comes the decorating of butterflies and resin flowers and tassels....

 

Finish off the layout with a title, bling and of course glitter....

I hope this inspires you to play along with this months moodboard.

Till the next time, have a creative day

My Love - Featuring Mintays Mamarazzi

 Hi, its been a moment hasn't it? Well I promise to make up for lost time, now that we are settled in OUR forever home, there's only a little bit of garden to establish now so its been a massive effort and that is where my mojo has hidden itself ..... to get the house settled in and functioning. Now its about finding my mojo in my new studio.

So with my often sporadic mojo at the moment, I have been creating and when I do its been about trying new things out.

As soon as I saw this amazing new papers from Mintay - Mamarazzi, I knew what I wanted to do.... I needed something interactive and new for me. I was inspired by the old pop up books and what is more interactive than that?

#22/365

I hope you enjoy this layout let me know what you think.... should I try more pop up style pages?

Till next time have a creative day

Wild and Free - With Dusty Attic

Good morning how are you? Today I am sharing another layout inspired this months mood board and this time its more literal.  With the wild canons and colours.

Starting with a cut file I filled the cactus with green tone papers, but I realised they where a little too bright so I toned them down with white ink first then went over the top of  that ink with brown ink.

As you know I love a white chipboard piece as you can see with the Cactus #1 and Cactus #4, it really shows the details. 

Layer all your chipboard including your titles.

So why dont you give this months challenge a go?

Hug in a Mug - with Dusty Attic

 Good morning how are you? I am here with my first post for April. Its be hectic in my life over the last 3 months but I am feeling like things are starting to settle down and I am getting some normality back. 

With this thought.... it gave me the inspiration for my take on this months Dusty Attic Mood board.

Hmmmm coffeeeeeeeee !!!

To start off its all about deconstructing the wood pattern paper, and distressing the edges. And sticking it down on some white cardstock.

Once again I used an envelope to be my photo mat/ layer with all the the fussy cut floral print. 

Now its about colouring all my chipboard elements and to give them a little bit of a lift with some metallic waxes.

Add a little bit of bling to the layout by making your own blend of glitters and art stones.

For the title I used embossing enamel.
