Coffee Time with March Moodboard Dusty Attic

 

Welcome creative friends!

 

Our monthly Moodboard is an absolutely wonderful inspiration, 

it goes with all vintage themes, but also with special themes 

like coffee, chocolate, memories with friends at a cosy coffee break

and much more .... 

I'm a big fan of monochrome colour themes,

 and decided on the coffee theme,

because a cup of coffee is full of happiness, right ?! 😀

 

I created a mixed media layout for a canvas

and worked with several papers, stamps, stencil, flowers,

 real coffee beans, powder and some suitable chipboards, 

used also a Mini tea set, omg

but you can also drink coffee from it, promise 😉😀

 

 

 

Chipboards were primed with black gesso and after drying 

stamped with white stamping ink and a small script motif.

Love the crazy stitching shapes, they give a very special look

and you don't need to get out the sewing machine.

Springdecor with MDF shapes

 

 Hello everyone!

 

 Today a new Home decor inspiration,

worked with an amazing Shrine Kit.

 

After a simple assembly and gluing of the kit,

 I applied a white crackle paint. 

Love the weathered look, not perfect, but unique.

 I was not afraid to break single parts into several pieces, 

fern now fits perfectly on the corner 

and a part of the daffodil wreath now crowns the shrine.

Snowdrops with Dusty Attic

 

Welcome creative friends!

 

First snowdrops are blooming in the garden, 

the best sign that spring will soon be here. 

But ice and snow are still drifting across the country in cold showers.

 I have used these impressions of nature

 in the following mixed media layout.

 

 

 

 

I worked only with white gesso and added some synthetic snowflakes to the chippies. 

I also used die-cuts, which together with the chipboards bring more

 vividness and fullness to the layout. 

As with my last winter layout, 'Magic frost Flowers', 

I dipped all the berries, deer and icicles chipboards  in liquid white acrylic paint 

 and then sprinkled with artificial snow

 to give them a  quick and easy frosty look.

Secret Garden - Home Decor

 

 Hello everyone!

 

Spring begins today, at least the meteorological kind 😀. 

Time to look forward to the garden again. 

 

Today I created a mixed media piece for the home decor,

 combining MDF shapes with castings from moulds. 

 Flat parts together with the 3d casts (made with air drying modeling clay)

 create a very lively image,

love that.

 

 

 

 

 

 Chose two oval mixed shape as the base

the lower larger form was painted with some texture paste 

and green acrylic paint. 

 Upper one received a crackling varnish in combination

 with beige acrylic paint.

 

 Window was primed with crackle medium and covered with several layers 

of acrylic paint to achieve a weathered look.

 

I put a photo behind the window, it should make you want 

to work in the garden again.

Magic frost flowers with Dusty Attic February Moodboard

 

Welcome creative friends!

Our monthly Moodboard is an absolutely wonderful natural inspiration, 

Love the color theme, it reminds me on sunsets by the sea

 it has so much harmony and peacefulness for me.

 

So I was inspired to create a new magical layout in mixed media style, 

  I chose the delicate variation of this Moodboard colour palette

 to match an icy frosty winter morning.

 

 

 

 The chipboards were primed with white gesso and partially decorated 

with a little silver glitter paint. I reassembled the pearl pendant and

 added an ornate pendant.

 

Extra tip:

 

I turned all the paper flowers into ice flowers by first dipping them

 in liquid white acrylic paint and then sprinkled with synthetic snow 

to give them a quick and easy frosty look.

Hello creative friends!

 

Many of us are eagerly awaiting spring,

 more sun, more warmth, more nature. on my windowsill

I created an Altered book with a background paper from Stamperia (Forest)

a lot of suitable chipboards from Dusty Attic

and dried nature materials.

 Maybe you can still remember on
