The Dusty Attic DT - A Captured Moment

Hello Dusty Attic Fans!

Today I am sharing my DT take on the fabulous February Mood Board Challenge at The Dusty Attic.


How wonderfully grungy is this mood board? I totally loved all of the woodgrain elements in the image as well as the denim so I have based my layout around this inspiration.

'A Captured Moment'


I began my layout with a blue woodgrain background as inspired by elements in the mood board. I then used a palette knife to swipe firstly some Alabaster Dusty In Colour paint followed by the Denim paint. Once dry, I applied texture paste through the Chicken Wire Stencil.


Next I layered on some torn woodgrain patterned paper and some vellum before adding lots of dimension with twine, chipboard and my photo.


I kept that awesome String Frame and the foliage in their raw unaltered state as I wanted natural elements to co-ordinate with my photo. To make the title, Small Chevrons and the cute Page Pebble pop I painted them with my favourite white Posca Paint Pen.



I painted the Industrial Stars with the same Denim Dusty in Colour paint that I used on the background.


Products used:










I do hope you feel inspired play along with the challenge this month using your own awesome Dusty Attic stash. Thanks for visiting the blog today.

Cheers
Belinda

Kraft Plus DT - Thank You For The Music

Hello Kraft Plus fans!

This month we have another 'abba'solutely fabulous challenge for you. 


How cool is that?!!

 I was so happy to see an ABBA inspired challenge this month as I recently introduced my kids to ABBA music and we are currently enjoying sing-a-longs in the car.
I chose a photo of my daughter playing her ukulele which she has been learning to play at school. I am amazed at how well both of my kids have picked it up and they sound awesome which is why I chose Thank you for the Music for my inspiration. 

'Thank You' Layout


I used some torn sheet music paper as well as some gold star printed vellum under my photo.


I used some funky music themed stamps from Darkroom Door.


All of that fabulous chipboard is by The Dusty Attic.


I just happened to make a purchase from Typo that had that awesome 'On Tour' tag attached. Perfect!


I hope you find some time to play along with the challenge this month. You can find all of the details on the blog over HERE.

Don't forget you can also enter a card, tag or atc as long as it is kraft based.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today.

Flutterby Designs DT - Dec 25

Hello Flutterby Designs peeps!

Belinda here today to share a layout featuring the fabulous Fair Dinkum Chrissy collection. 

I love all of the beach elements in this range as my little family and I quite often head to the beach on Christmas Day.

'Dec 25' Layout


I began by swiping some texture paste over a couple of rows of the awesome 'He Said, She Said' Stencil. I LOVE this stencil and I'm pretty sure I am going to be using it a LOT!

Once he texture paste was dry, I diluted some Tropicana Teal and Arctic White Flutter Colour Paints with water. I also spritzed my background with water and sloshed the teal paint around on it. I gave it a little time to dry and then I lifted the background and applied more paint letting it run down the page to create some lovely drips.


I used the cute 'Bubble O'Fun' Mini Stencil to add some subtle white bubbles to the layout too.


Next I layered on all of my bits and pieces as well as the photo. I cut the 'Dec 25' Wood Veneer bit into pieces, painted it with several coats of white gesso and added to the page.




Here's what I used:

The Scrapbook Store DT - Pretty As A Picture

Hello!

Today I am sharing my second layout for The Scrapbook Store for the month featuring Graphic 45 Fairie Dust.

'Pretty As A Picture'


I started by creating a lovely wash of Wisteria Kaisermist on my white background. Once dry, I swiped some texture paste through the Mini Believe Script Balzer Designs TCW stencil. I used my white Posca Pen to flick a bit of white paint over it too.


Next I layered on some torn Stamperia Rice Paper (I love this stuff!!). To make it easier to tear I used a wet paint brush to 'draw' in the tear line. I have also added some torn book paper as well as squares of patterned paper from the range.


I painted the 2 Crafty chipboard white using the Posca Pen and glued that in place before addingsome fussy cut fairies, my photo, flowers and title.

Here's what I used:

KAISERCRAFT Kaisermist Wisteria
TCW Balzer Designs 6"x6" Stencil Mini Believe Script
GOLDEN Light Molding Paste
UNI Posca Pen White

Thanks for stopping by!

Cheers
Belinda
