Altered Book Mystic Night with chipboards

 

Welcome creative souls!

 

 A little bit late for Halloween, I know

but our nights in November are also always very dark, 

misty and mysterious.

 

Some would also say after Halloween is before Halloween, 

but I'm not such a big fan of this event, I

 rather love the magic and mystery and the great fantasy behind it.

 

 

 I created a book in Altered Art, love this old, weathered look

it fits to a mystery atmosphäre

and invite to tell fantasy stories.

Dusty Attic  has a large selection of chipboards

 for such stories in the assortment, love that!

Halloween Decor with Dusty Attic October Moodboard

 

Welcome creative friends!

 

Mr. skull invites you to the pumpkin house

🎃👀🎃

 

 

I was inspired to create a new Home Decor piece

as a Halloween gift. 

The colors from our monthly Moodboard were a perfect match for it.

I love to create

 with this funny spook, a lot of fantasy, in a dark foggy robe. 

 

 

I used a background paper from La Blanche as base,

glued a cut out from spooky house on cardboard,

with  Gothic Fretwork

I created some 3D effects e.g. a balcony. 

By decorating with the chipboards the whole house 

looks much more alive.

The play of colours of the Indian summer attracts us into the outdoors,

 warming sunbeams, rustling leaves and this special scent that only exists

 in autumn inspired me to create this mixed media layout.  

 

I worked with various cutting dies, a stencil for the background design

and I used an amazing paper ('Only You' from In Love collection)

to create a special weathered look.

Mood Barometer Submarine with Dusty Attic

 

Welcome creative friends!

 

I was looking for a special gift idea and had an inspiration. 

 

Especially in today's difficult times, people are not always in a good mood, 

there are good and bad days. 

When I had this ingenious submarine with the 3D effect lying on the table,

 I thought to myself, this must definitely be seen 

and shouldn't disappear in the closet. 

 

So I created a mood barometer for desk with the help

 of two metal threaded rods and a few magnets.
