Good morning how are you? There’s nothing like a little cold weather to get creating, and just to play around in my studio, with a hot cup of coffee or two.  With that in mind why don’t you give the Dusty Attic Moodboard a go and why wouldn’t you want to? 
Isn’t it stunning?

49 & Market ARToptions Plum Grove, ARTSpectrum Rubons and leaves.Dusty Attic Chipboard – Mandala, Ornate Circle Frames, Elegant Chain, Title.

The way I started was give all the chipboard a spray with white spray paint. Once it was dry add a photo to the ornate frame.

Foam mount the mandala to the centre of the page, alternatively use the out side of the chipboard cut out and glue it to give you layers….. its the perfect way to save some money on foam tape and help cut down your waste.
 Also the money you save on the tape means you can buy more Dusty Chipboard right ?

Add the photo to the centre of the mandala, also using some left over chipboard to add some height…. Then add the elegant chain to the base of the frame also mounting to add some layers between the two pieces.
I added some rubons to the background to make a little Ombre effect.
Then added the title to the left hand side.

Now its all about the finishing touches, some acetate leaves and some leave rubons.
To complete the look I added a lot of rhinestones throughout the background.

I hope this inspires you to play along with the mood board.
