Relax - Summer Home Decor

 

Hallo kreative Freunde! 

 

 Heute eine neue sommerlich inspirierte Wohndekoration, für Ihr eigenes Zuhause oder um einem Freund eine kleine Freude zu machen – was auch immer Sie brauchen! 

 Dies ist ein wirklich einfaches Projekt, das Sie im Handumdrehen umsetzen können Es eignet sich hervorragend als Wanddekoration für den Sommer. 

 Ich habe einen einfachen Metallring aus einem Euroshop verwendet und ihn etwas umgestaltet. Alles, was Sie noch brauchen, sind drei MDF Formen.

Sie wurden mit verdünnten Acrylfarben bemalt, außerdem habe ich Krakeleelack und andere Texturen verwendet, wie zum Beispiel das Einstreuen von Decosand. 

Das macht den Look definitiv interessanter.

 

so habe ich begonnen...

Memories

 

Today a new scrapbooking layout with some awesome Dusty Attic chipboards.

I created a summer inspired 30 x 30 layout as a reminder

 of  beautiful seaside holidays.

Chipboards were painted with simple acrylic colours, 

only for the dog chippie I used a brown embossing powder.

In Memoriam

 

 Hello!

 

 I made a new photo frame in memory of our best friend.

 and used an old black wooden frame in the format 30 x 30 cm. 

I decorated it with maritime Dusty Attic chipboards. 

There you can find  a large selection suitable to this theme, love that!!

 

 I designed the chipboards using embossing powder or painted them

 with metallic or simple acrylic paints. 

For special texture effects, reflective beads or decosand were sprinkled into the still wet paint.

 To make the lighthouse look old and weathered, it was coloured with Distress ink 

and finished with a crackle stamp.

Steampunk storage box with Dusty Attic

 Hello!

 

Father's Day is just around the corner and for men always struggle to find something special.

 The new Dusty Attic box inspired me to create a storage box for game cards in grunge style.

 It's a very ingenious design, as you can see in this video. 

It is made from MDF board and is very strong and stable in use.

Dirty backgrounds, layered textures and colours, torn edges and crooked elements are the new cool! 

I mixed brown, beige with a lot of black, using different textures like stencil motifs, cutouts from dies, deco sand and texture paint. Finally I highlighted all the different structures on the whole box with metalic wax.

Paw Prints in the sand

 Hello!

 

 Today a new inspiration with a lot of awesome chipboards from Dusty Attic.

It's a summer inspired layout and reminds me on beautiful holiday times by the sea.

I love it to combine chipboards with some nature elements and fabric textures, 

so you can create realistic images of beach nature.

Alice - Key hook

 

 Hello!

 

 Today a new inspiration for Alice in Wonderland fans, it's a key hook for wall in grunge style with 

MDF shapes from Calico Craft Parts

and several texture techniques (crackle, gauce, Decosand).

 I found this small teapot really interesting. I attached it in such a way that it should bring 

grist to the mill of grey everyday life.

 A good idea provides a tailwind and can brings success.

 Simon says: A lot of Textures

 

 

55. Alice – Key hook: Andrea says I love all the beautiful texture in this piece! The rich, rusty-crackly background is the perfect backdrop for the bright photos and rabbit. Lovely attention to detail and a stunning final result.

 Thank you very much!!

 

 See you!

Alice in Wonderland - the other way

 

 Hello!

 

Today a new inspiration to Alice in Wonderland theme, 

it's an Out of the page project in mixed media style. 

 I created an old, hollowed-out tree trunk out of a cardboard packing case. 

It's the centre of a magical world with lots of great Alice elements from Dusty Attic.

 After priming with white gesso, I painted the individual parts with simple acrylic paints.  

The card army figures, which I particularly love, were glued behind with red or black paper.
