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.
