Design Team Project

A Lifetime is not enough … – Adri Du Preez

Hello everyone!Welcome to the blog today. My May design team layout features beautiful Dusty Attic chipboard pieces.
 I made this layout to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary on the 7th May.
Here is my layout.

The branches, wildflowers, and wild grass were first covered with cleared gesso and then Distress Oxide in Vintage Photo and Iced Spruce. Press the two Distress Oxide Ink pads onto a craft mat and spritz them with water creating small droplets.  I started with Iced Spruce for the base color and slid the chippies through the droplets a few times and dried them with a heat tool. Repeat with Vintage Photo and dry in between. 
The beautiful and perfect title was heat embossed with white embossing powder.


I chalked the two bird’s nests with Chocolate Versa Magic Ink and the edges with Americana Acrylic paint in Slate Grey. The eggs were painted with white acrylic paint and Americana Acrylic paint in Slate Grey.
The butterflies and polaroid frame were first covered with white gesso and then painted with Americana Acrylic paint in Peaches ‘n Cream and Spa Blue.


To color the Wordpl@y words I lightly covered them with white acrylic paint and Americana Acrylic paint in Peaches ‘n Cream and Spa Blue.


After everything glued down I added art stones and splatters with diluted white gesso.
