I'm loving this 'gig' as Evana calls it... love it, totally! I picked up my first pack of Dusty goodies to play with on Saturday and play I have... as soon as I could!
My first play was with one of the Tribal designs, how perfect for boys! I also fluked having this paper in my stash with almost the exact design... one has to LOVE it when that happens! And no... I don't have huge stashes of PP, but when you scrap mostly a boy {and a teen one at that}, whenever you see a teen boy style paper you grab it!
And then today I did this: I love this... big time. The pics just don't do it justice no matter how many shots I took. So thanks to my Tina who got me off and running with the whole "what to do with the chains" conversation {we brainstormed many ideas!}, everything flowed.
I'm so happy with the crackle on crackle effect.
So here I've used lots of Dusty Attic goodness! Ornate Corners, Chains, French Flourish Border {trimmed}, Adore Word, Song Bird and the Decorative Gate {turned upside down and 'hung' from the chains}. The Chains and Gate have been painted with Golden Stainless Steel & Micaceous Iron Oxide Paints, with touches of Turquoise for an aged look. The Corners, Song Bird and Word have been inked, glimmermisted and then embossed with UTEE.
