Follow your Heart - Karan Gerber - Mood Board Inspiration

 

Hello Creative Friends, welcome back to my blog today sharing a project created for Dusty Attic. This is designed on a 8x10 flat board canvas using the Mood Board color challenge for the month of September. 

Dusty Attic has released some awesome industrial/mechanical pieces, some of which I put together to create this project. 

Using various pieces, i colored using some acrylic paint, and some 

Distress Ink Reinkers to achieve the look i wanted

Below are some close up images of my project. 

I used the colors in the mood board to blend them into the pieces. Purples and Blues blended easily once i determined which ones i wanted to use. 

When it was completed i went over each piece using gold wax, added in some metal screws in the middle of some chipboard pieces. 

I hope you give the Mood Board Challenge a try for the month of September, you still have time to submit your project

Hello Dusty Attic fans

Wow this is the last month of this year - and what a year it has been, hasn't it?! Today I would like to share  with you my layout created for Dusty Attic for December. 

I love this photo of my daughter. She is a make-up Artist, and does these photos to promote her business via Instagram and Facebook - so of course I like to scrap these photos.

I have first started by cutting different size pieces of paper to mat my photo. Using one of the Get Framed - Circles as the frame, have painted this with Prima Alchemy metallique paint and layered this with my photo before adhering to the matted papers. This is then adhered to the page with foam tape, so that I was able to tuck in the film strip and the medallions, painted with the same paints. 

One of my favourite pieces is the Wattle Blossom, and I have used it again on this page, cutting it into smaller pieces to add among the flower cluster.

I have added Crystal Stickles to the Wattle Blossoms. 

The title was also first painted in Prima Alchemy paint, and then I added Pink Stickles on it.

These are the products that I have used:

Hello dear Dusty friends

I hope you are all well. I am back on the blog today sharing this layout I created.

You will see I repeated the circle shapes and used a combination of laser cuts images and die-cuts to fill the inside of each chipboard

circle.

I added a leftover piece of Broken Bits 2, in order to add more texture whilst grounding my layout at the same time. To colour my chipboard I've used a combination of Distress Oxide Ink and Versa Inks.

Last but not least I added my photo decorating the area around it with 49And Market flowers and burlap.

Products I used:

Broken-bits-2-circles

Circle-frame-set

Mini-captions-3

Thank you so much for visiting us today. I hope you enjoyed your time here and will be visiting us again in the near future. Till next time have fun and take care.

Hello Dusty Attic fans

This is so gorgeous! Inspired by the flowers, I created a layout using flowers and leaves.

I have used a mixture of Studio 73 and Mintay papers to create my layout.  I first started with one of the larger circles from the Get Framed - Circle chipboard, which I painted with acrylic paints in tones of spearmint green and mauve. This was attached to the photo, sliding the photo through the top so that the bottom of the circle is behind the photo. This was adhered to the page with foam tape. I then painted the foliage #23 chipboard in a dark green. When the leaves were dry, I brushed gently over this with a sanding block to reveal some of the chipboard. I then started layering up the fussy cut flowers, leaves with the foliage chipboard. There are three pieces of foliage, of which one of them I cut up to add smaller bits around my fussy cutting.

The small "ocean wave" chipboard was painted with a mixture of mauve and lilac and adhered between the flowers and the leaves. The title was painted with a spearmint green paint and a bit of lilac paint - this was done dabbing lightly with a sponge so as not to fill the letters with paint.

There is also a small chipboard bird cage added to the layout

Come and play along and create a layout using the moodboard as inspiration - and you could win a voucher from Dusty Attic worth $50 of gorgeous Dusty Attic chippiness :)
