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,
I created some 3D effects e.g. a balcony. 
By decorating with the chipboards the whole house 
looks much more alive.



used Dusty Attic chipboards

I hope you find some inspirations!


I had a lot of fun with this amzing Halloween chippies and especially love 

that you can tell such imaginative stories with them.

 

Thanks for your visit!

 

Happy crafting!

Autumn Discoveries with 13arts

 

Welcome creative friends!

 

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. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tips and Tricks 

 

 

 

bottom part created  with embossing folder
