The Dusty Attic DT - # Playtime

 Hello Dusty Attic Fans!!

It's Belinda here today to share my latest layout for The Dusty Attic inspired by the beautiful April Mood Board.

Here's a peek at the mood board:

'# Playtime'

I started this layout with the Heart Attack Stencil and texture paste on my background patterned paper.

I layered my patterned papers together along with a torn strip of the Corrugated Card.

I painted all of the chipboard pieces with white gesso and then painted the Paw Print with a pink acrylic paint.

Finally I added some messy thread and layered everything on top including the title and photo of my beautiful dog Ziva.

The Dusty Attic DT - Easter Altered Project Life Cards

 Hello Dusty Attic fans and Happy Easter!

It's Belinda here with you today to share my latest project featuring some fabulous Dusty Attic products. This time I am sharing 6 altered project life cards with an Easter theme.

I started by swiping acrylic paint on to my backgrounds. I use a mix of bought project life cards and ones I have created myself from whatever scraps of cardstock/paper/packaging I have laying around.

After I paint the cards, I then add collage and stencilling. This time I used some Ranger Texture Paste along with the Dusty Attic stencils. Once the stencilling was dry, I went over it with a white Posca Paint Pen to make it brighter.

Here are the completed cards.

I layer some messy thread and patterned paper scraps on the cards before adding the chipboard. I have a box full of collage material. Whenever I am creating as project the leftovers go in the box and then I can just shuffle through the box for little bits and pieces when I need to.

I added some white gesso to a scrap of the Corrugated Card and tore it into pieces so I could add a little to each card.

I kept some chipboard pieces in their raw unaltered form.

Some chipboard pieces I painted with a few coats of white gesso. If I feel the gesso is not bright enough then I add white Posca Pen on top as well.

For some pieces I used paint pens on them to add a little colour.

These cards are so fun to make and I can't wait to use them for something. I think these would make lovely card fronts for Easter cards. It is also a great way to use up various chipboard pieces from different sets.
