What a beautiful moodboard with the lovely deep maroon. I have focused on the maroon/burgundy and soft grey of the moodboard and featured a lovely photo of my granddaughter giving her dog Bella a cuddle. I loved the way that seh was giving Bella a big hug.
I laid strips of provo craft tissue paper on the page to create darker layers and features on the patterned paper. once dry, I painted burgundy watered down paint to add colour to the strips and sprayed with water to blend and add tones to the page. I added a light sage green to the lower right hand side to add depth of colour.
Once dry, stencilled dark walnut and gesso grids vertically on the page making sure that soem of the lines were also off the page at he top and bottom.
The chipboard pieces were painted in a variety of colours from dark maroon/burgundy, dark walnut and and green. they were layered in and around the photo mats. Once glued in place, using white gesso, painted the adges of the chipboard to add grungyness and to add depth. Weave sisal to add texture around the layers.
To finish off, add the photos and words and add drops of paint over the layer (remember to cover your photo) to add the final grungy look.
I hope you enjoy and remember to do to the Dusty Attic Blog for more inspiration.
