The Dusty Attic DT - Spooky ATCs

 Hello Dusty Attic fans!!

It's Belinda here today to share some spooky but cute Halloween ATCs for The Dusty Attic featuring some of the new Halloween chipboard.

I started with a 12 x 12 sheet of kraft cardstock and altered it using various spray inks. Once it was dry, I added stencilling using texture paste with the Bats Stencil and heavy white gesso with the Spooky Faces Stencil. I then chopped up the sheet into ATC sized pieces.

I chopped up the Small Crooked Fences to fit on the ATCs and added those to each in their raw, unaltered form. I also kept the bats unaltered. The rest of the chipboard pieces were first coated with three coats of heavy white gesso before some of them were altered further using Posca Paint Pens and a Sharpie.

Here are the ATCs with the white gesso finished pieces. I added some Mini Stars to complete the night time look. I also finished each ATC with a Halloween Wordpl@y word.

And here are the ATCs that I altered using Posca Paint Pens and a purple Sharpie.

Here's a closer look at the individual ATCs:

Scrapping Clearly DT - Art Journal Pages

 Hello Scrapping Clearly fans!

Today I have a couple of art journal spreads to share with you featuring lots of Dina Wakley Media products.

I have used the awesome Dina Wakley Media 6x6" Kraft Journal. I love the compact size of this journal and the super heavy weight pages.

I added some collage paper from the Collage Collective book using the DWM Ultra Thick Gel Medium. Once dry I added some stencilling using the brand new Growing Masks and Night Acrylic Paint. I spritzed some DWM Gloss Spray in White and Turquoise over the masks too.

I added a cute little tag cut from the Collage Collective book that I altered with collage and stamping. I added some extra colour to the face using the Jane Davenport Chalk Pastel Set.

I stamped a couple of leaves from the Be Willing Stamp Set using Medieval Gloss Spray on collage paper and added them to the pages.

I added some mark making using a Light Blue Pilot Pintor Paint Pen as well as Posca Paint Pens.

I added the sentiments and a bit more stamping to finish.

My next two pages were created using the same techniques and inspired by the October Mood Board.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today. I hope you find some time to play with your Dina Wakley stash too.

The Dusty Attic DT - Walking on Sunshine

 Hello Dusty Attic fans!!

It's Belinda here today to share my layout inspired by the beautiful October Mood Board.

Here's a peek at the mood board:

Such pretty colours!!

Here is my layout:

I started my layout by spritzing some heavy weight white cardstock with Heidi Swapp Colour Shine in Cherry.I flicked some of the colour over the page too. I dried it off with a heat gun and then added stencilling with the Bedazzled Stencil and heavy white gesso.

I prepped all of my chipboard pieces with a few coats of heavy white gesso.

I then used Posca Paint Pens to add colour to some of the chipboard pieces. I love using these paint pens to detail my chipboard. They are so easy to use, mess free and require no cleaning up afterwards. Easy!!

I added some stamping, my photo and paper stack and remaining embellishments and the layout was done.

Here's what I used:

DA3053 Hearts # 4

DA3044 Suns

DA2922 Botanical Ringlets # 2

DA2750 Walking on Sunshine

DA1482 Bedazzled Stencil

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today. I hope you are inspired to play along with the mood board this month too.

Bee Arty DT - Paint Rainbows

 Hello Arty Bees!!

It's Belinda here with you today to share my latest layout for Bee Arty featuring the Electric Dreams Mini Collection.

I started my layout by spritzing my 350gsm White Cardstock with a liberal amount of water. I then used a soft wet paintbrush to pick up some Fluro Yellow Colour Blast Mica Powder and applied it to parts of the wet area. I played around with the colour on the page making sure the powder was all mixed in with the water and spreading it around a little. I then repeated this process using the Fluro Pink Mica Powder. I picked up some of the colour and flicked it over the page too.

I dried my page with a heat gun and then added some stencilling using the Circulate A5 Stencil and both the Fluro Pink and Fluro Yellow Colour Blast Colour Pastes.

Next I added some stamping using the Watermark Clear Stamp Set and a fluro green ink pad and the Embrace Change Say It Clear Stamp Set with a fluro pink ink pad. 

I added a couple of pieces of cropped patterned paper from the Electric Dreams Mini Collection. Then I die cut a frame using the Frame Metal Die. I painted the frame with some of the Fluro Pink Mica Powder mixed with water.

I fussy cut some plus signs from the Electric Dreams patterned paper, painted them with the Mica Powders and added to my page once dry. I added a couple of fluro Charm's Creations too.

To finish, I added my title and a quote cut from the Electric Dreams patterned papers.

Thank you for stopping by the blog today. I hope you are inspired to have a play with some super bright colours today too.

Cheers

Belinda
