Summer Memories Album - Kerstin Filou

 

Hello everyone!

 

  I  created a sea inspired mini album as memory on beautiful relaxed days.

 It has been equipped with many flaps, pockets and other storage possibilities to keep nice mementos. 

At Dusty Attic I found a lot of small special chipboards that fit perfectly to the sea theme.

 I used them as photo frames, to attach flaps (anchors) and as eye-catchers for decoration.

Beach Life - Adri Du Preez - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the blog. Here is my layout inspired by the beautiful August mood board which features beautiful Dusty Attic nautical chipboard pieces. 

This is my daughter and grandson having fun on the beach.

Here is the mood board.

and here is my layout.

All the chippies were primed with white gesso.

I used DecorArt Americana Acrylic Paint on all the chipboard pieces.

The ship wheel and anchor were painted with Americana Acrylic Paint in Traditional Burnt Umber, True Ochre and I dry brushed with white gesso

I painted the edges of the Old Wooden Fence, title, Wordpl@y, seagulls, lighthouse, mini skeleton fish, and driftwood in Slate Grey and Grey Storm. I inked the edges with Traditional Burnt Amber. 

The Mini Seagulls were painted Slate Grey.  The Seahorses were painted Bahama Blue and Traditional Burnt Amber.

I painted the Starfish and Mini Shells Slate Grey and dry brushed it with white acrylic paint.

The urchin shells were painted Plantation Pine, Sour Apple, True Ochre, and white acrylic paint

I painted the mini jellyfish and crabs in True Ochre, Bahama Blue, and Georgia Clay and dry brushed with white acrylic paint.

I painted the Ocean Elements Hauser Light Green and Bahama Blue.

Seaweed #1 was painted True Ochre, Bahama Blue, and Georgia Clay and dry brushed with white acrylic paint, and Seaweed #4 was painted Hauser Light Green and Bahama Blue.

After everything glued down I added art stones and splatters with diluted white gesso.

Hello Summer - Adri Du Preez - Mood Board Inspiration

 Hello everyone!

Here is my project inspired by the beautiful July mood board. My project is filled with beautiful Dusty Attic nautical chippies, flowers and die cuts.

Here is the mood board.

and here is my project.

        

All the chippies were primed with white gesso.

I painted the edges of the title, seagulls, mini skeleton fish, sand dollars, wordpl@y and driftwood with Americana Acrylic Paint in Slate Grey and Grey Storm. I inked the edges of the driftwood and wordpl@y with Black Soot Distress Oxide.

The lighthouse was first covered with coarse gesso which gave the walls a lovely textured look.  Once dried I covered it with white acrylic paint. I then dabbed grey and brown ink on the coarse parts to make it stand out more. I inked the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide.

I painted the jelly fish with Americana Acrylic paint in True Ochre, Bahama Blue and Georgia Clay and dry brushed with white acrylic paint.  I love these chippies, even more after watching the documentary My Octopus Teacher.

I painted the Compass Rose with Art Alchemy Liquid Acrylic in Umber, Burnt Sienna and Ink Black, dry brushed with white gesso and lightly rubbed with Art Alchemy Wax in Rich Copper.

I covered the string frame with Americana Acrylic Paint in Bahama Blue and dry brushed with white gesso.

The final touches to this layout included art stones and splatters with diluted white gesso.

These are the Dusty Attic chipboard pieces that I have used.
