Dusty in December

Hello Dusty friends! I'm back with you today with my layout for The Dusty Attic  for December. Before I show you, did you know that you can win a $100 Dusty Attic voucher? Wouldn't that come in handy at this time of year? All you have to do is enter this month's challenge and be the winner!

Here's what I made:

I used the inspiration board in several ways. Firstly, here it is:

Isn't it beautiful? I used the word Bliss on my layout and took my cues for my photo choice from the cosy, relaxing scene. I started off using only the colours from the inspiration board, but I'm a teal fan and I just couldn't help adding a bit, then a bit more!

That long wriggly piece behind the photo is a waste piece! Never throw out any interesting shapes - you never know when they will come in handy!

I layered up the background with Dusty Attic texture paste, some Dusty Attic stencils and, of course, Dusty Attic paint! I added some Magicals for extra pow. I've used Tinby Designs Metallic Melts on the frame, words, squiggly waste piece and hearts. I love this effect! 

Do you like the frame? - that's my own design! I love the funkiness of it.

Don't you just love these little hearts? They come in a pack of a mix of shapes and are fantastic value. You can use them on just about any project.

The triangles were made using a Dusty attic stencil that was made specifically for the escape2create retreat last year. I use it a lot!

Happy scrappin'!
