Design Team Project

Love and Laughter – Adri Du Preez

 Hello everyone!Welcome to the blog today. My November design team layout features beautiful Dusty Attic chipboard pieces.  For this layout, I used pattern paper from the ARToptions Alena collection from 49 and Market and Ephemera bits and rub-ons from various other 49 and Market collections. I love the wreath on the Dramatic paper and the colors are vibrant and beautiful.
I love the laughter and happiness in this photo of my daughter, Juan, and Jamesie. This is pure joy and warms my heart. 

All the chippies were first covered with a layer of white gesso.
I painted the title and brackets with Americana Acrylic paint in Peaches ‘n Cream, Desert Turquoise, and Bahama Blue and dry brushed with white acrylic paint.


The flower cluster is made up of a variety of pretty blooms and die-cut foliage and flowers. I painted the Foliage #10 in Mint Julep Green and the Botanic Runner in Peaches ‘n Cream.

Bahama Blue acrylic paint was used to paint the polaroid frames and white acrylic paint was dry brushed over them.


Peaches ‘n Cream and Bahama Blue were painted on the Botanic Buttons, and then dry brushed with white acrylic paint.  White acrylic paint was used on Leaves #2.


To finish off my layout I added art stones and splatters with diluted white gesso.
