Design Team Project

Close together … – Adri Du Preez

Hello everyone!
I am sharing my June design team layout with you.  My layout features a selection 

of beautiful Dusty Attic chipboard pieces.  I used pattern paper from the 49 and Market Naturalist Collection. 


These are photos from our family shoot in March. One of the photos shows my daughter and her family facing the hill where her childhood home is.  Many happy memories were made there.
Here is my layout.

All the chippies were first covered with a layer of white gesso,  except for the little house 

from the Main Street collections and the mini chicken wire.
I adore this title, and it is perfect for my layout and so very true. 

The title was dry brushed with Americana Acrylic paint in Peaches ‘n Cream, Melon, and then white acrylic paint.  The cute stemmed hearts were painted with Americana Acrylic paint in Pineapple.


I dry brushed the house and chicken wire with Americana Acrylic paint in Burnt Umber and True Ochre.
The grass clusters were coloured with Ranger Distress Oxide in Vintage Photo. Moved Lawn and Crushed Olive.
The Foliage #17 was also painted with Americana Acrylic paint in Arbor Green and dry brushed with white acrylic paint.


The Laurel Sprigs and Branches and Berries were also painted with Americana Acrylic paint in Hauser Light Green, Arbor Green, and Melon and dry brushed with white acrylic paint.


The mini scrolls and Foliage #26 were painted with white acrylic paint.


The final touches to this layout included art stones and splatters with diluted white gesso.
