Dusty Attic

.scrapper stuns us with her exceptional layout today of her little grand daughter, see below how Adri has created her wonderful page ...

This layout is filled with soft colour, delicate florals and beautiful detail, perfectly capturing my granddaughter’s joyful personality. The title could not be more fitting for her sweet smile and playful spirit.
All the chipboard pieces were first primed with white acrylic paint and then painted using Americana Acrylic Paints. I randomly tucked foliage among the flowers to create fullness and in the clusters, cutting some pieces apart for extra detail. The little bird nest was chalked with Chocolate Versa Magic Ink.
For the ombré effect on the title, I used two shades of purple to create gentle shading and dimension. The mini titles were coloured with several layers of white Posca Pen for a crisp, bright finish. I always adhere small pieces of acetate behind the mini titles, making them much easier to attach securely onto the flower clusters. Tiny butterflies were then added to the title, words and bird nest for a whimsical finishing touch.
To complete the layout, I added pearl beads and white gesso splatters for extra texture and softness.

This Month has created a cute little caddy/pot using chipboard and resin shapes based on an ordinary plastic pot.
Here is what Sue Says ...
If you are like me, I love tea, especially those gourmet teas that come in sachet. Coffee comes that way too, but how do you store them attractively. I have a solution in my Alice in Wonderland tea caddy. This plastic pot is altered and decorated with resin and chipboard shapes.
Chipboard being paper based is easy to alter and mold to the shape of the pot, just spritz with a little water, not too much, but enough to manipulate with your fingers. I have applied tissue paper over the plastic pot to give a good surface. Then you can adhere your chipboard shapes, I have chosen Alice Elements 22 the gorgeous whimsical mushrooms. These don't take too much effort to bend into the shape of the pot. Once adhered with gel medium you can paint with tinted gesso and highlight the mushrooms with copic pens, add some resin shapes, then rub over with Vintage Gold wax to finish.
I plan on making more of these to store lots of things not just tea lol
