Why stop Dreaming? - Pascale B Scrap

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a layout. 

Photo: @ArtHouseWhimsy

I primed the paper with clear gesso before adding a design with the Starring Night stencil and 3G Gloss Gel. Before the gel dried, I sprinkled some clear glitter.

I primed all the chipboards I'd selected with white gesso and then covered them with White Pearl wax. 

I added French Lavender wax on top of the  Christmas Berries #1. 

I used the Old Denim wax to accent the middle of the Poinsettia #2 and the fruits of Foliage #22.

I added a few tags under the photo and layered them with the chipboards.

Merry Christmas - Deb Stephens

Who else gets excited about the magic of Christmas? I love the idea of it being cold and icy (especially as it is usually hot and dry here in Australia) which is what inspired this DT project. 

The base was a chipboard banner that was given to us as a thankyou gift at the recent Dusty Attic Christmas retreat (if you have never been to one, put it on your Christmas list!)

I covered it with white brick pattern paper and then stenciled texture paste through the DA1490 Dots stencil.

 

White Gesso was applied to chipboard used (DADA2246 Poinsettia small, DA3137 Holly Wreath #2 and DA3206 Merry Christmas #3) and then painted or embossed.

There is lots of sparkle on this Mini banner with snow paste, art balls, flowers and glitter added to finish off.

I wish you all the very best for this Festive season and look forward to sharing more of my creations with you in 2023! Take care Dusty Fannatics.

Christmas Memories to Cherish - Adri Du Preez

Hello everyone!

Wishing you all a safe, healthy and prosperous new year and may your dreams come true in 2021! 

I am sharing my January design team layout with you using some beautiful old and new chippies from Dusty Attic.  This layout features my three grandchildren, Mila, Janco and James and they are my absolute pride and joy. 

Here is my layout.

All the chippies were first covered with white gesso.

I used both the large and small Cosmic Swirl.  I used the large swirl under the large photo and with the small small swirl I created my own little town similar to the one printed on the background pattern paper on the left side. Both these two stunning pieces as well as the stars were painted with Acrylic Chalk Paint in Greek Haze and Sky Blue and dry brushed with white gesso.  Next, I covered the stars as well as the stars and circles on the swirls with glossy accents and while still wet sprinkled with Stickles dry fine glitter. 

For the ombre effect on the title I also used Acrylic Chalk Paint in Greek Haze and Sky Blue.

These super cute houses were coloured with Distress Oxide in Walnut Stain, Iced Spruce and Black Soot. I wanted them to look similar to the houses on the pattern paper.

I pressed the three Distress Oxide Ink pads onto a craft mat and spritz with water creating small droplets.  I started with the Iced Spruce for the base colour and slided the houses through the droplets a few times.  I repeated the process with all the colours drying in between.  I edged the chippies with Brilliance Pigment Ink in Graphite Black.

The mini Christmas trees and the foliage were painted with Americana Acrylic Paint in Lush Foliage.

I coloured the Poinsettias with Metalique Wax in Vintage Gold and Americana Acrylic Paint in Lush Foliage.

and my favourite Wordpl@y elements.

After everything was glued down I added splatters with diluted white gesso.

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