Comfortable Much?

Hiya Scrappy Friends,

We as the Dusty Attic design team, 

were asked to be guests on the More Than Words challenge this month,

 with the word “Comfortable” using the beautiful colour palate.

my inspiration for this is my dog!

Do you often look at your beloved pets sleeping and you think to yourself how on earth can that be comfortable?

Needless to say: this is my baby boy, 

who sleeps in the funniest positions all the time. 

I took this picture of MAC is faster sleep on my lap snoring with his little open mouth! 

I dusted my ground with Cracked Pistachio on a wet wipe. Then using dry wall tape I rubbed with Versa Magic Dew Drop Chalk Ink Pad - eggplant and perfect plumeria! Letting it smudge a bit!

I took the gauze a coloured with Cracked Pistachio and let dry.

with the left over ink I coloured my tag! 

I then took, Tim Holtz Distress Spray Stain - Seedless Preserves- sprayed my flowers and my tags, making one darker with Versa Magic Dew Drop Chalk Ink Pad - eggplant and perfect plumeria!

For the film chippies I used Tim Holtz Distress ink pads - Pumice Stone and Hickory Smoke to create my desired effect.

Then put altogether!

To me they look so uncomfortable but they seems happy and comfortable! 

MAC is a sliver /black miniature schnauzer and has a green collar, all which just lends themselves to the colour pallet mood board.

So here's another of my dear boys sleeping positions!

Yes, I'm lounging back in my chair and this is how we watch TV most nights!

Spread your wings and fly!

 Good day everyone!

I’m back today with a fun layout for the March mood board!

This is my daughter a few years ago!

Using gel medium, I stencilled (from the Penelope Dee Victoria collection). Once dry, I added inks, All-Purpose inks, very watered down and touching up with the Nuvo pens, where needed. On top of this, I then used the butterfly stencil from Dusty Attic with Nuvo Glimmer paste –Moonstone. 

For the chippies I used a mixture of Sparkle paints and chalk inks to create the effects I wanted. (I mix and play until I get the required look) I title chippie is from Penelope Dee Feathered collection.

Foiled butterflies, Netting and dried grass are added, along with flowers (Little Birdie from yesteryear!)

 Products used:

Dusty Attic Dandiloins

I truly hope that I inspire you to step out of your box and try something new!

A Captured Moment

I love the Kaisercraft Documented collection.

This photo is of my dad’s car (Model T Ford 1922) which is finally running, although there is still a lot of restoring to be done!

Applied the Dusty Attic chicken wire stencil, using Nuvo Mousses and coffee stencil using Art Extravagance – Graphite texture Paste from Prima. 

Let dry and added coffee (Plain coffee) to create the back ground. 

To give the cogs a rusted effect, I applied Art Extravagance - Rust Paste Brown,  Red and Yellow, as well as on the Roman numerals. 

Completed the lay out with black netting, 

Tim Holtz clock hands, cogs, screw brads 

and printable clocks, as well as black metal ones. 

Products used: 

 chicken wire stencil, 

Tim Holtz gears; 

Netting and clock embellishments. 

Have an awesome scrappy day!

Remember This…

Hello there,

February month is that lovely grungy mood board and 

when I found an old photo of my hubby at work (many a moon ago) was just perfect.

I always apply my page to board (12x12) with a gel medium.

 Applied the Dusty Attic chicken wire stencil, using Art Extravagance – Graphite texture Paste from Prima. Let dry and to give the rusted oil effect, I applied Art Extravagance - Rust Paste Brown,  Red and yellow, to create the back ground. 

As well as on the title!

and the cog chippies.

 Completed the lay out with Hessian and denim cut cogs, as well as screw brads.

Products used:

Hellooooo my friendly Scrappers!

I am busy working on My Dusty Attic Feb mood board, 

so in the mean time here's a layout I did for Penelope Dee.

Family!

The New Victoria Collection from Penelope Dee, I decided to do a vintage page.

Using Organic and Unique pages, 

I stencil the Abloom/Lattice Lace, then to add colour Nuvo mousse gold 

and plain coffee, as well as the Organic Love stamp with Pumice Stone, to create the back ground. 

For the doily I painted with coffee. 

The Leaf circle chippies (by Kiriche) dusted with Pumice Stone distress ink. 

On the butterflies and the word, I embossed with Liquid Platinum 

and dusted with Chestnut brown chalk. 

Then sanded the edges of my photo then used Chestnut brown chalk.

Completed the lay out with Prima (Wild & Free) Flowers, dried coloured Leaves, ribbon and stone hearts embellishments.

Also used flower sequins from Dusty Attic.

Hope that I have inspired you!
