Hello Dusty Attic fans!
It’s Lynette here today to share my latest layout featuring some fabulous Dusty Attic chipboard. We were recently on a two week vacation in Kwazulu-Natal. We found some amazing parks and the lush vegetation of the area always takes my breath away.

This specific park has been a little neglected in the past year since Covid-19 hit…and this bench in the park was overtaken by the ferns growing behind it. I decided that the little pots of goodness in the gardening collection would be perfect for this page.
Dusty Attic chipboard used:

I painted all my chipboard pieces with acrylic paint…using the Foliage #14 behind the floral cluster. I die cut the fern leaves and then painted it with Lindy’s Starburst Squirts in Emerald Eh! with a bit of Banff Blue added it….I love the way it dried all curly just like the leaves in the photos.

I love the quoted sentiments and chose “Treasure the moments that capture your heart”. I dry brushed it with white acrylic paint.

I little pots of plants were also painted with acrylic paint. I used a fine tipped brush to add the detail to the plants.
