Life is Beautiful so Just Smile Layout for ***The Dusty Attic*** & ***49 and Market*** and also playing at ***More Than Words***!

Goodmorning lovelies,

Spring arrived here in The Netherlands and I am really enjoying the nicer and warmer weather already, can't wait for the Summer to start. Today I want to share another layout which is very springlike because of the wonderfully and beautiful 49 and Market flowers & Dusty Attic chipboards  which is very easy to make it pretty when you have such gorgeous products to work with. In my last post I told you I am in LOVE with the "Vintage Shades" collections and all the words strips chippies,  so for this layout I used another shade of those flowers. I also added some butterflies from the NEW layered embellishments on my work.

Life is Beautiful so Just Smile: 

All the chipboard pieces are by The Dusty Attic which I colored with gesso and later one with embossing powder, rust paste and ink. For this layout I used the pretty NEW "Scents of Nature" combined with just one little piece of "Vintage Artistry" at the bottom part of my layout. The picture is one of my gorgeous little niece "Mijntje"who is not so little anymore she is almost ten now here she was just one, this picture makes me happy and smiling from ear to ear.

This layout was based on the pretty mood board & sketch at the Dusty Attic blog for this month did you already enter your work?? Can't wait to see it....

 On the background I used the faded demask stamp by Gabrielle and I used it with embossing ink and powder but also with just darker ink then I sprayed my most favorite spray on my whole layout {sidewalk chalk by Lindy's}

On the background I added paste with a damask stencil to match my layout. At the end I also used some mini prills. It's the first time I used the grunge board {not sure what the name is} on the lower part of my layout I really like the effect it gives my layout.

The Dusty Attic products used: DA1594 Smile, DA0507 Ferns, DA11704 life beautifully, Word strips and Circle Ornate frame, Tickets, Oval frames.

49 and Market products used: Scents of Nature, Vintage Artistry, Vintage Shades flowers, pale lavender garden vine, pale lavender blooms, Faded demask stamp, mulberry paper flowers. 

Other products used: Stencils, Paste, Rust Past, Lindy's Stamps Gang sprays and embossing powders, Stamps, Mica Powders, Cheese cloth, Gesso, Ink.

With this layout I am entering this months challenge at "More Than Words" using the word "Beautiful" & Butterflies which is totally up my ally just take a look at how pretty it is: I also went with the colors of the pretty picture. 

Thank you so much for visiting my blog and have a glorious weekend....hugs  

"Love Eternally" First 12x12 Layout for ***49 and Market*** & ***The Dusty Attic***

Goodmorning lovelies,

I am so excited to show you my first layout for the magnificent 49 and Market design team using the gorgeous "Heirloom Botanicals"collection. Oh I am so blessed to work for this wonderful manufacturer my fussy cutting heart is all glowing again hihi. For this layout I used a picture of my cousin her daughter who got married last November doesn't they look cute? 

Love Eternally:     

It's been ages since I fussy cut my papers and this collection lends itself to do that very much, like all the 49 and market papers do. For this layout I used the "Conservatory"sheet of which I cut out the middle part so I only use the corner drawings with the branches then I moved it around and tilted it 90 degrees because I liked the branches to go upward & downward on my layout. Then I used the "Faded Blooms"sheet to go underneath the other sheet.

On my background sheet I stamped with the pretty "Crackle Texture Set" designed by Gabrielle Pollacco and then I used some Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays to compliment the crackle paste I used. Then I stamped some of the butterflies from another stamp set By Gabi called "Butterflies are Free" on the "Oasis" sheet and cut them out to add more butterflies to my layout.
For matting my picture I used the backside of the cut out middle part of the "Conservatory" sheet & the "Oasis sheet. On the bottom of my picture I added some threads in two shades and layered a chipboard key lock by The Dusty Attic on the left corner on top of the thread.

All the chipboard pieces I used are by The Dusty Attic and I think they really compliment the pretty papers, blooms & stamps by 49 and Market. The Vintage Shades blue & sage blossoms I painted with The Dusty Attic acrylic paints to make them look more like the colors of the papers and because I painted the chipboards with that color too. The pearl corner piece was also painted with the rust paste by Finnabair and then I added some blue spots and gems.

49 and Market products used:

Heirloom Botanicals collection: Conservatory, Oasis, Faded Blooms & Heirloom Cut Outs

Vintage Shades Flowers: Cerise Bouquet, Cerise Blossoms, Sage Blossoms & Blue Blossoms

Stamps: Gabi's Butterflies are Free Set and Gabi's Crackle Texture Set

Other products used:

The Dusty Attic Chipboard:

Tickets, Doodads #4, Best Friends, Mini Words #2, Key to my Heart and Elegant Pearls
