Mood Board Inspiration

make today so awesome … – Michelle Van Oudtshoorn

Hello lovely Dusty Attic Fans

For us down in New Zealand the days are getting longer and warmer – and I am loving the summery weather.

As we head to the end of the month, I thought I would pop in quickly with a layout for the November moodboard challenge – you still have some time, it’s weekend and a perfect opportunity to create something for the monthly challenge and your chance to win AUD50 worth of Dusty Attic chipboard goodies. Post your entries to the Dusty FANattics facebook page – https://www.facebook.com/groups/1949690068580466

Here is the moodboard for November:

Here is my take on the moodboard:


Using paper from the  49 and Market Vintage Artistry Everyday collection, I fussy cut some leaves first from the Zealous paper and used the paper Garden Variety as my base. I then paint all the chipboard, before putting my layout together. Firstly, I added layers of different paper and ephemera behind my photo. The Ornate Circle frame off DA2271 is the smaller of the two frames in the pack, plus I have used the negative of the circle between the large and smaller frame. These were painted in green and I added touches of Prima wax to these. I adhered these to the page first before adding my photo and paper layers.

The flower clusters were then built up, and I added the mini film strips DA2511, the small wildflowers #3 DA1143, a bee DA1669 and a mini watering can DA2802 into the cluster


And isn’t this quote sentiment off Sentiment pack #4 DA2585 just fabulous “make today so awesome that yesterday gets jealous” – I love it!

Once I completed the layout I added splatters of bronze paint to the layout.
