Sugar

Yeah I know... the cat again!  But she's so sweet, and is part of our family... and lets me take photos LOL!  

I created my own flowers again, these using my English Rose technique but using the Rose Creations Die... they are so so pretty!  I am loving having my flowers match the papers I use perfectly!  The smaller flowers have used less paper layers, and I have mixed patterned papers and cardstock for these ones.

The Dusty Attic Baroque Frame was just perfect for this, it was painted with a cream coloured paint and then spritz with smooch spritz, glittered here and there and then covered with crackle accents.

A sweet butterfly, some Green Tara flowers and little resin flowers from Handmade Halo finishes it all off just right!

Exquisite - Creative Scrappers #192

Today is Australia Day, a day to celebrate being fabulously Australian... due to the 42 C heat, we chose to stay indoors! Kel played on the computer {when he eventually woke up}, Darren and I watched Series 1 of The Walking Dead and then I scrapped!!  

I've been having fun with the CSI challenges and decided to have a go at a sketch challenge, I haven't done one for ages!  My beautiful friend Natasha is on the team at Creative Scrappers, I had seen this sketch come through on her blog feed, so thought I'd play along with it, and then Natasha challenges me to use 'yellow and cream and kraft', thinking she was being smart - turns out it was just right!

So here's the latest CS Sketch, pretty cool don't you think!

And here is my creation...

I used some left over Dusty Attic Cherry Blossom, the Scroll Border #2 and "Exquisite" from Mini Words #3.  

The Scroll Border #2 was very simply touched with ink on the edges to add an iddy bit of contrast.  

The Cherry Blossom and "Exquisite" were first dabbed with white acrylic paint and while still wet sprayed with Smooch Spritz in Candle Glow and Wood Stain, then covered lightly with crackle accents and dusted with Fairy Dust Glitter in Pralines and Cream.

Lovely Green Tara Roses... and I've also used some crinkled satin edged organza trim popped in under the Dusty Scroll.

The large flowers were handmade using Spellbinders Rose Creation Die by Donna Salazar.  I have used Donna Salazar's Crafty Chronicle and some Green Tara Banana Fibre papers for the flower layers.  

Crafty Chronicle is awesome for flowers, especially my smooshed paper ones as the paper is thinner than usual patterned paper, so it scrunches {aka smooshes} up easily.   And my new favourite 'go to' product, the Banana Fibre paper, cuts easily in the Spellbinders die and creates such gorgeous soft texture, I am LOVING these papers... do you remember having a stash of them years ago, I know I did and ditched them, I'm kicking myself now as they are just so versatile, especially if you are a texture lover like myself!

I've popped in some Websters Pages Sparklers, Postcards and Diecut Sheets, and used some of Kay's beautiful butterflies {check out her Etsy store HERE, soooo nice}, she always has just the right colours, I so love her butterflies.

Dusty Attic & Webster's Pages

This week at The Dusty Attic we have teamed up with none other than Webster's Pages, what a wonderful match!!

Here is my first layout for the product swap, using the beautiful All About Me range.

I loved the tones of brown, green and blue and knew they would be perfect for this photo and also just perfect with the new Dusty Attic Grass Cluster & Swirl Vine 2!

I have also used Webster's Pages Bloomers, Buttons, Dazzle-me Gems, Sparklers and Designer Threads.

To see what the rest of the Dusty Team is creating pop on over to our Ning site to see HERE.

You should also see what Webster's talented team have been creating with Dusty Attic chipboard on their Blog and Ning sites.
