Sea Life Mixed media Panel - Pascale B

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a mixed-media panel inspired by the sea life.


First I primed my canvas board with black gesso. I added two designs. The first one with the River Stone Stencel and gold paste to represent the sea floor, and the Second with the Confetti #2 Stencil and Ice Crushed Jewel paste for the bubbles.


I also primed the chipboard with black gesso except for the Coral Elements. I covered the latter with a light modeling paste. With my spatula, I made some peaks to give some dimension to the coral.


Next, I covered all the cogs I've selected from the Jumbo Cogs #2 and Mini Cogs #2 sets with Rust Effect Pastes. 


I glued all the elements of the composition with a 3D gel except the Marine Mechanicals Fish. I selected different green, turquoise, and yellow waxes to color the Ocean Elements I've chosen.


For the Coral Mixed, I chose red and coral waxes. I highlighted all the elements with gold and silver waxes. 


I used different shades of blue and turquoise to color the fish. I highlighted the details with metallic waxes. When Happy, I glued the fish.

Cigar Box - Pascale B Scrap - Mixed Media

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a box.


I glued all the elements to build the box. When done, I primed it with two layers of white gesso. I added a design with the Ledger stencil and light modeling paste to the top and the sides.


I selected different gears in size and shape and used a 3D gel to glue them to the box. When the gel was dry, I primed all the gears and the Rose leaves from the Alice collection with white gesso. 


When the gesso was completely dry, I added brown paint with a lot of water to keep it neutral. Then I added a few flowers which I also painted.


To finish the composition, I just added metallic waxes.

Anne-Marie layout by Pascale B Scrap

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a vintage layout with a photo of one of my great aunts.


To begin, I primed the background with Clear Gesso. Next, I added a design with Floral #2 Stencil and Pearl Icing paste. When the paste was dry, I added some brown and black Distress inks to make the design pop up. 


I covered the Ornat Circle #2 with embossing powder that I was careful not to melt down completely to obtain a non-even surface. 


I primed all the chipboards I have selected with white gesso. Then I simply distressed the edges with black and brown inks. 


I attached a few ephemera under the photo, and then I made a cluster with Spring Bloom #3, Wildflower #4, Foliage #25, and a couple Poppy Heads. I added a few white flowers to the composition which  I altered with Distress inks as they were too white. 


I also included a Pocket Watch to remind the one concealed in her pocket. In the photo, we can definitely make out the chain. 


To finish, I splattered the background with glitter mixed with gel medium and water.

Ballerina Dreams - MDF Lantern - Kerstin Filou

 

  Hello everyone!


 Magical and dreamy, with snowflakes gently dancing in the sky, this lantern inspired me to create a snowy winter forest scene.

 

 

I primed the object with white acrylic paint and then highlighted it with brown acrylic paint using the dry brush technique. In the centre, I hung a transparent acrylic glass ornament, a little ballerina (before it was a christmas tree ornament).

I added a white cuddly skirt with tulle and small punched-out snowflakes to the ballerina. 

At the bottom of the lantern, there is an LED bottle bottom light, and above it, a big snowflake that has been glittered blue in some places. 

When the light is switched on, it looks like the snowflake is dancing over a frozen lake.

 Thanks for your visit!
 
 I hope you find inspiration!

Framed Magnets! - Anat Weksler - Mixed Media

  Hello crafty friends!

It'a Anat here, I still can't believe we are already in 2024!

Today I'm sharing little treasures I made use different Dusty Attic's frames and more. 



To every order I  get, I add a small unique gift so my clients can either keep or gift it.

This time I've created small magnets to embelish the Refrigarator.

Haveyou noticed the range of gorgeous frames Dusty Attic has? I had this idea to use the Get Framed and others together with Textures & Broken bits (and negatives) as the base of my magnets.

After assembling each one of the treasures I've colored them Lindy's Sprays, Metalique paints and  Metalique waxes.

You will find the chipboards used below the pictures.
