“Journey” – DA Design Team Creation February Moodboard

Good morning to you and I hope you are having a lovely start to the weekend.
Today I have a very different project to share with you. You will find not a flower in sight but loads and loads of my most favourite chipboards …….Dusty Attic.
To help me along this month I have used the gorgeous moodboard from Dusty Attic also.
See for yourself below…….

 

 

And this is what I came up with………”Journey”…..

I can’t explain to you how much I enjoyed doing this layout. Probably because it was very much outside my comfort zone but also a little challenging in the way that the chipboards have been layered. It was a work in progress that took some time but I am very happy with the outcome.
To help with the process I worked with the collection of “Rugged” from Authentique.

I love this angle of the layout. Here you can see the Numbers Chipboard that I used. All my chipboards were dressed with Dusty Attic’s Rusting Powder and then painted with Denim Acrylic Paint. I loooooooove Rusting Powder. It gives the best effect used in differing ways. I never seem to get the same result twice.

From another angle …. here you can see more of the layering of the corrugation, barbed wire and numbers.

My background paper was randomly stamped and splattered with Dusty in Colour Denim and gesso. I also added in some Texture Paste through the Tracks Dusty Attic stencil.
