Captured.....Dusty Attic

Captured.....Dusty Attic

Posted by Rajni Chawla

Hello all!!!

Once again, i am here posting for Dusty Attic board to inspire you all. Before I start with the new project I want to thank you all for such a beautiful and warm welcome. I really appreciate the effort of those who specially took time and left their beautiful comments here on the blog and facebook. 

On to my today's project...

My kids love taking "selfies" but I am type of a person that personally hate clicking. But I love love love collecting pictures that they click. Perhaps I can give you a deeper psychological explanation. Our time on this earth only lasts for so long, and a camera allows us to preserve memories far past when they might have slipped our mind. It helps us pass those memories into the hands of future generations. Our photos are little legacies of the life we have led – our travels, experiences, food, family, friends, work relationships and more. Each photo is a window into a moment, and the collections of images we take over the years are a window into who we were and what we valued. Ultimately it comes down to a simple truth....seeing that moment captured makes us genuinely happy.

I generally preserve pictures by creating an art piece....be it in my journal page or a frame. For me my daughter is the only model. Hehehe....Oh I love her.!! Love her innocent face n decent smile. Having daughters is one of the greatest joys we could imagine....Isn't it ??

Here is my take on February's Mood board with her picture only. 

I used Blue Fern Studio papers from Sanctuary and Timeless collection to build up this piece. 

Here are few close-ups...

I got huge collection  of Dusty Attic Chippies in my Dt pack which includes a bunch of dangles and pieces that are just a MUST for any chipboard enthusiast like me. Look at those in the picture.....just GORGEOUS!!

Oh I love that  #Chandallier 2 and Ornate Pendant #4. I first primed them with white gesso and then painted with Dusty in Color Jungle Green, Dusty in Color Oceania and Dusty in Color Alabaster. 

Sprinkle of clear rock candy glitter and blings are adding little more artistic look to the pendants. 

I added have added texture using  Dusty Attic Texture paste with Knitting Stencil on the lower side of the frame.

Word " Captured" is from word pack #34,simply painted with all the three shades. 

Word "Awesome" is taken from word pack #33 and heat embossed using custome made glittered heat embossing powder. 

I have created a bunch of flowers using few Prima twigs, mulberry Lillies and a blue heartfelt creation flower made by me. DA 1399, Seagrass #2 and Laura leaves are adding finishing touch to the whole embellished cluster. 

Here are few more shots of the art piece....

While I was making the above piece I was left with custom made glittered heat embossing powder. I just thought of using it on other chipboards and here is the quick card as a bonus inspiration for you all.  I have added lots of colors that don't match our February Mood Board but If its bonus....anything iwe get is just great. Isn't it ??

So here is my bonus inspiration for you all. 

Background is all created using different shades of Dusty in Color 

, lots of stamping and heat embossing here and there and the chippies heat embossed with glittered heat embossing powder. Bird is stamped and simply painted using Steadtler watercolor pencils. Hope you like it. 

Oh....I lam in love with that glittered chippies. I have used the smaller size of Vintage frame #4 and placed it side ways...as that was the demand of my project. 

Look at that gorgeous shades of Dusty in color.....Yummy enough to be used more frequently. 

All flowers are handmade...simply punched and embossed.

Hello all...

Your passion is the reason you wake up in the morning,and just the thought of a new technique can keep you up late with excitement. Exactly the same is with me.

Isn't it fun...when trying something new you stumble upon something that u really love.

I love colors and  I love coloring too.
And sunflowers...they are my all time favorites!!  While I was trying bleach stamping for justrite Friday Challenge #110, I tried it on quite a lots of card stocks. I was not satisfied with few colors but loved how brown card stock reacted with bleach and resulted in deep yellow. It immediately reminded me of my another new justrite stamp that had sunflower collection. I decided to do cloring with bleach. 

For this card I have used Black Magic Core'dination card stock and Justrite Vintage Labels Five cling stamp. I stamped the image four times with versamark and heat set using black embossing powder. Then bleached the flowers using my water brush. I left the leaves as it is as if I bleach them they would also turn yellow. Fussy cut the images and arranged them using foam tapes on a Cheerylynn Sunflower Doily. I felt the flowers were missing their leaves somewhere.....that's why added deep green card stock in the lower half of my card. The sentiment is from same stamp on vanilla card stock set on the Spellbinders Fancy Tag Two. I have used IO butterfly.

few close ups...

 Ooopss...was in hurry to get it clicked and missed pocking my butterfly properly. I did it after clicking the pic.

That is all for today and thanks for stopping by.

WOW.....White on whites.

WOW.....White on whites.

It's WOW this time at JustRite Friday Challenge #109

Guess what??

Whites On Whites.....only whites to be used. It was quite challenging for me as I have never tried creating anything without distress inks . Its not that I don't like whites....but its just that I love colors. 

As I told u in my last few posts that I am working on lots of wedding projects these days I tried a wedding cards for the same.

White is appropriate for weddings because the unity of male and female symbolizes the unity of allness.

I tried creating different textures using heat embossing, embossing folders , layering different die cuts and off course using different papers. For this card  I combined translucent Vellum and milky white textured card stock.

 For the center rosette I specially used vellum. I stamped and heat set using Seafoam White embossing powder with Justrite Lace Edges One.  I loved the lacey effect I got. For the card base I combined both A and B designs of Spellbinder's Framed Petite Labels and decorated the corners and edges using Amazing Paper Grace Corner die and Joycraft- Mid French Lily.  

. 

  

A little close up to show the lacy edges of the rosette. I really loved the see thru effect of the translucent vellum and white heat embossing.

Here are the pictures of the rosette that I took before fixing it to the final card base. All layered using Marianne Creatables Oval and Justrite Enjoy The Day Vintage Labels Four stamp set. 

I even took few clicks with dark backgrounds.....It was my first try with whites, so was not sure about its photography.  

Don't forget to visit Justrite Challenge #109 to see what other crafters have come up with.

That's all for today. 

Thanks for stopping by.
