Design Team Project

Dream with your eyes wide open – Adri Du Preez

 Hello everyone!

Welcome to the blog today. 

My October design team layout features beautiful Dusty Attic chipboard pieces.  

This photo is of my sweet granddaughter when she was only two weeks old.

Here is my layout.

All the chippies were first primed with a layer of white acrylic paint and then painted with Americana Acrylic paint.
The beautiful Big Moon was also heat embossed with embossing powder.  I used Silver, Lindy’s Groovy Granite, and Iced Enamels Relique Powder in Ivory.


I painted the title with Orchid {dream} and Pansy Lavender {with your eyes wide open} and dry brushed with white acrylic paint.

The words from the It’s a Girl set and Leaves #2 were heat embossed with white embossing powder.

The Seedlings were painted with Mint Julep Green and dry brushed with white acrylic paint. I snipped the foliage into pieces and tucked them into the flower clusters.  The Leaves #2 were heat embossed with white embossing powder.

The stars were painted with Orchid, Pansy Lavender, and Turquoise Blue and dry-brushed the edges with white acrylic paint. I then added Ranger Stickles in Platinum for a bit of shine. A few of the mini stars were glued onto the larger stars. I painted the Page Pebble with Orchid.
