A Winter Walk to Remember

 

 

Winter walks have a very special kind of magic. The air is cold and fresh, the world feels quieter, and every step leaves a trace in the snow. 

On this winter day, we went for a long walk through the snowy landscape. 

The soft winter colors, the frozen trees, and dog’s paw prints in the snow made this walk feel timeless. It was a simple moment, but it felt peaceful.

This scrapbook page is more than just paper and photos. It’s a reminder of cold noses and the quiet happiness of spending time together. By using some amazing winter chipboards, I was able to create depth and highlight special details on the page.

Snow Fun

 

 Hello!

Unfortunately, walking through a freshly snow-covered landscape is becoming increasingly rare for us too. Our dog always loved it. His nose always disappeared in the deep snow and his coat was adorned with little snowballs, lovely memories.

 All chipboard was painted with white acrylic paint only. Various white or transparent textures were added to the wet paint, such as artificial snow, mini glass beads, decoice or white glitter.

Dog Minialbum with Dusty Attic

 

 Hello creative friends!

 

Have you already discovered the many different new album covers at Dusty Attic?

So many creative possibilities.

 I designed a beautiful dog summer album as a reminder of relaxed holidays by the sea. For the cover, chippies matching the theme of dog and sea were chosen, which were first primed with white gesso. Next, I painted on the dog, accents with silver metallic paint and black outlines to make them stand out more.

A Dogs Life - January Moodboard Dusty Attic

 

Welcome everyone!

 

Dusty Attic's January Moodboard invites you to create

 an amazing project of your own choice,

it shows beautiful warm natural colors.

 

I was inspired to create a natural mixed media layout with our darlings, the shelties.

I used some of the awesome dog chipboards, which where primed 

with white or black gesso, always a very good base when you plan to paint

 with acrylic colours. On the parts with black primer, 

I continued to work with dry brush technique,

 used white gesso and green gold metallic paint.

The natural looking chipboards were painted with two shades 

of green acrylic paint, for the wheat I used green, gold and white, 

ears became more vivid with micro pearls.

Find Me for DT Dusty Attic

 Hello Dusty friends!

I'm back with a new mixed media layout in wintry mood. 

We are all longing for spring, but the next snow and a new cold are in the air again. 

Our dog is always very enthusiastic about a walk through the snowy winter forest,

 he loves to hide behind bushes and is happy when we discover him. 

 

 I used a background paper from Maja Design and created with stencil, cutting dies

 and some awesome chipboards a winter idyll, where some deer peacefully eat their hay.

 

some close up's

Deer were embossed with brown powder

love the small Acorns, 

because they are in two parts, so they appear more alive

Totally Pawsome

is coloured with acrylic paints two shades of blue and some splashes

 of diluted white paint and a little bit Deco snow 

Winters Forest #1

this awesome trees were also embossing with

 a special snow effect powder (Emerald Creek Craft)
