Mood Board Inspiration

B.E.A.C.H – Michelle Van Oudtshoorn

Hello Dusty Attic fans

Hope you are all well. Have you seen the moodboard for October? It is lovely – there is just something about the sea that is just so calming and beautiful. I have used the sea theme to design my layout today.

Just loving these colours from the moodboard. Here is my layout:


The base for my layout is 49 and Market’s Vintage Artistry Shore paper – Tidepool. I have also used some of the laser cut shapes – shells, yacht and fish from the same collection. First I painted the Chicken Wire 12 x 12 chipboard (DA0457), and cut this down before adhering to the page. I then added my photo before layering the seaweed (DA1910) on the sides.


The Shell designer discs (DA2222) have been used – cutting the smaller one in half and layering on either side of the photo. The bigger disc was cut down to about 3/4 before adhering to the top left corner, and then adding the sentiment “Paradise isn’t a place, it’s a feeling” (DA2545)

Once I have finished layering up the flowers and the laser cut pieces, I add the title BEACH – Best Escape Anyone Can Have


I have finished off with art stones mixed with paint before adhering these to my page.
There is still time to submit your entry for the moodboard challenge – and your chance to win one of two Prize packs. You can post your entry to the Dusty Fanattics page https://www.facebook.com/groups/1949690068580466
Take care,Michelle
