A girl and her dog with Dusty Attic

 

 Hello!

 

My latest sea inspired layout with some beautiful chipboards from Dusty Attic.

It's a mix of boho and vintage style , I used some dried plants like grasses and thistles, 

I love that natural look, I played with distressed colours and different textures

 to make everything look a bit older.


 

 

 All chipboards were primed with white gesso, then painted with acrylics. 

Some were textured with powder. I

 love to divide the chippies because it opens up new possibilities. 

You often work in layers, which creates a vivid impression.

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...

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.
