Romance Vintage Time

 Welcome !

 

Happy Valentine's Day!! and

Warm greetings to all my creative friends all over the world 💖😍💖

 

Romance time is Vintagetime for me and so I created a mixed media layout

 where I used the amazing paper collection 'Rosalie' from 13arts. 

Romance and Rose simply belong together.

Have a beautiful day with your loved ones!

 

 More than words Romance & Rose

Valentine's day and romance 

are simply inseparable from each other 


Hugs and Kisses

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)

# Coffeebreak

 Welcome creative friends!

 

 Coffee is always a good idea, or?!

A good cup of coffee in the morning awakens your spirits and energy.

 

As I saw the little and big cups at Calico Craft Parts I thought, 

yes, they are very suitable for a mixed media coffee project in grundge style. 

Together with a clock face and some gear wheels I created a shadow frame

 that you can use as a gift or for your own kitchen.

 

The best thing about coffee is the aroma and the scent,

 so I also use some real coffee beans and coffee powder, 

that makes the whole thing more lively .

 

 


some close up's 


 Steampunk Multi Frame - Cogs

 was completed with a single cog and two clock hands 

which were embossed with black  powder

 

 

 Teacup & Saucer

was disassembled into two parts and the plate was glued on again as a saucer in 3d optics


 

 here I glued a bigger and a smaller cup on top of each other, 

stamped them after painting and added some aromatic coffee powder to it

 Swirl Flourish

 I had to disassemble it too and used it as a cloud of scent wafting through the room

😃

I hope I was a inspiration for your creative imagination! 

 

Happy crafting!!

 

Many thanks!

Winter Magic DT Dusty Attic

 

 Welcome creative friends!

 

Now it's my turn to feature a layout using the 

beautiful Dusty Attic Moodboard for January.

 Palm trees, sun, beach and sea and these sunset colors on the January Moodboard

 make you dream of vacation.


But here it's winter now and we are happy when some snow falls from the sky and the frost enchants nature with hoar frost snow crystals. From the winter walk you get red noses, because outside it's frosty cold and you are grateful for every warming ray of sunshine.

We also like to go into the garden now and feed our winter birds. 

That was my inspiration and thoughts behind  this wintry mixed media layout.


 

Suitable to the winter temperatures I used mainly the cool blue shades 

and only some little shades of warm tones for the birds. 

I love to create with Maja Design papers, here some sheets from the collection 'Holidays in the Alp'.


 

some close up's


little birdies were painted with some diluted acrylic colours

 

this little bird house is so amazing, you can glue the window and the roof trim

 for an additional 3d effect, 

I added some small icicles too


 the trees fits perfectly to this photo, I snowed them in, 
just like my last project, 

 
used which Dusty Attic chipboards  
I used can you find here

 Just put your own take of the challenge in the comments section of the Dusty FANattics facebook page HERE

Experience Winter Charm

 Hello creative friends!

 

I was inspired to create another mixed media project in wintry mood. I used a round plaque as base.

The small stairs and the roof was made with Notched Rectangle - Mini MDF Wood Shapes,

these are very exited little shapes, that have stimulated my imagination.

 


full spotlight is the order of  the day 😀


 

some close up's


small stair steps attached with wood glue

two mini shapes became a roof over the door

Beauty of Winter DT Maja Design

 

 Welcome creative friends!

 

Winter isn't my favourite season, but this season also holds beautiful magical moments for us. One of them is when there has been hoar frost, everything sparkles and glitters and the world is like enchanted.

I was inspired to create a layout in grey, purple and red shades, our latest paper collection 'Winter is coming' was absolutely perfect for these wintry hues. 

I used a black-and-white photography, which really came into its own 

with the Maja winter papers used. 

The elegant lady besides makes us literally feel the icy temperatures.

Wish you a beautiful wintertime!

Dance of snowflakes

 Welcome creative friends!

 
I was inspired to create a winter mood canvas in mixed media style.

I borrowed an acrylic ornament from the christmas tree and 

turned a ballerina into a dancing snowflake.
