Hello everyone! Welcome to the blog. Here is my layout inspired by the beautiful October mood board which features beautiful Dusty Attic chipboard pieces.
“Family is not an imported thing. It is everything.” – Michael J. Fox
This is a photo of my beautiful family.
Here is the mood board.
and here is my layout.
All the chippies, except for the mushrooms and toadstools, were first primed with a layer of white gesso and then painted with Americana Acrylic paint.
I painted the title with Georgia Clay and dry brushed with Peaches ‘n Cream.
The botanical ringlet was painted with Arbor Green and dry brushed with white acrylic paint. The botanical ringlet was cut in half. The other half I will use for another project.
The wild grass and wheat were painted with Hauser Light Green and True Ochre.The grass clusters were painted with Arbor Green and Georgia Clay and dry brushed with white acrylic paint.The wildflowers were painted with Georgia Clay and dry brushed with white acrylic paint.
I colored the Foliage #4 with a sponge and all the above colors.
I covered the toadstools and mushrooms with clear gesso, and then Distress Oxide in Black Soot, Ground Espresso, Rusty Hinge, and Fired Brick. Press the four Distress Oxide Ink pads onto a craft mat and spritz them with water creating small droplets. I started with Black Soot the base color and slid the chippies through the droplets a few times and dry with a heat tool. Repeat with all the colors and dry in between. I also splattered the chippies with the same colors for a mottled effect. I very lightly dry brushed the chippies with Georgia Clay and True Ochre.
I painted the polaroid frame with Mint Julep Green and the edges with white acrylic paint.
The driftwood, plant label, and ticket were painted with Slate Grey and Grey Storm. I inked the edges with Traditional Burnt Amber. To create the weathered wood effect I used a small sponge brush and dry-brushed the paint from left to right.
I also used my favorite Wordpl@y elements.
Some close-ups.
The final touches to this layout included art stone and splatters with diluted white gesso.
