Real Life...A Mix Media Project for Dusty Attic

Posted by Rajni Chawla


Good morning all.

Here I am, Rajni Chawla from Passionately Curious back after a long break. Sorry for keeping you all waiting. Life is so boring and serious without Art. Flowers, Colours and Textures makes me happy. Today's project is my interpretation to July month"s mood board. I altered a simple cardboard frame for my handmade flowers and made a beautifully textured wall piece using Dusty Attic chippies, Various shades of Dusty in Colors and few metallic colors by prima.



July Mood Board

Here is the complete project. 

Dusty_attic_Real_Life (1)

The flowers are all handmade using supplies from Heartfelt Creations. I have used DA Ornate Frame #5,  pieces from DA Jumbo Cogs,  DA Cogs #1 and DA Cogs #2 to create different layers. All the chipboards were first primed with Heavy gesso and then textured using DA texture paste. Different shades of Dusty in Colour acrylic paints are used to paint all chipboards and then highlighted with prima metallic colours. the colours used are...Dusty in colour Bisque,  Dusty in Colour Oceania,   Dusty in colour Sunburnt Orange and  Dusty in Colour Capri . The title " Real Life " is from DA Mini Captions #2.
Few more detailed pictures from different angles.

Sunflowers and Butterflies Window

Posted by Rajni Chawla

Good morning all...

This new day has greeted us again with new n fresh Sunshine, with no rules and unconditional opportunities. Do not dilute the power of this new day with the hardship of yesterday. Greet this day the way it has greeted you, with open arms and endless possibility.

I am back again with Heartfelt Creation's weekly inspiration with its Classic Sunflower Collection and Botanic Window Die. Two almost same cards....one made by me and other by my daughter Srishti. she has a beautiful and neat hand. Teaching her side by side when I m crafting, is really great fun. we both paint together, discuss n plan what to do next...So much of laughter, music and my furbabies dozing under my chair...
Awww...I love it all!!

Peach Daffodils

Posted by Rajni Chawla

Good morning all...

Happy Wednesday!!

"What we do see depends mainly on what we look for. ... In the same field the farmer will notice the crop, the geologists the fossils, botanists the flowers, artists the coloring, sportsmen the cover for the game. Though we may all look at the same things, it does not all follow that we should see them." --John Lubbock
And, I must have flowers, always, and always!!

I m again back with the weekly post for Heartfelt Creations Botanic Orchid Collection.... this time, with gorgeous Peach Daffodils for my latest project. The collection is so versatile that you can make a variety of flowers.Be sure to take a moment to see all the amazing work done by the whole design team on the Heartfelt Creations Blog today!  HUGS to all my fellow crafters for sharing such wonderful sharings every week.

Products from Heartfelt Creations:


Other Products Used: Smooth white card stock, white gesso, dusty attic chipboard, glitters and sparkles, black cardstock, Archival inks black and Library Green, Zig Clean Clear Brush Markers, Cheese cloth, Twine, white net, Spellbinder’s Victorian Arch Die, Tim Holts stencils- Flourish and modeling paste.

Instructions: For the card base, I used 9" by 8 " smooth white cardstock. Score at 4 1/2'" on the 9" side and create a top-fold card of 4 1/2" by 8 ". Create a black mat 1/2" smaller to the card base. You will need another mat, 1/8" smaller to black, this time from the designer paper. Since my flowers were in the shades of orange, I preferred choosing the same from Sunrise Lily Paper Collection. Distress the edges on all four sides using scissors or distress tool. Give a washed coat of gesso randomly, little stenciling using modeling paste and dust the entire piece with sparkles/ glitters. Mat all the layers using foam dots. For flowers follow Emma Lou’s video. Leaves are stamped using Open leaf stamp set and die cut using its coordinating die, colored using color box inks ( Pumpkin Spice and Lipstick Red)  and then shaped using Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit. The hummingbird is from Regal Hummingbird Cling Stamp Set, painted using Zig Clean Clear Markers and die-cut using its coordinating die. The chip board from Dusty Attics is painted using white paint and sprinkled with clear glitter. I matted a designer paper from the same collection in the open space of chipboard. Layer the white die cut on right side of the ready card base and arrange all the elements as shown. I added small tules of white net and a bow using matching twine to add an extra interest. The Sentiment is from - You Inspire Me Stamp Set.

Here are the detailed pictures of the card...

Captured.....Dusty Attic

Posted by Rajni Chawla

Hello all!!!

Once again, i am here posting for Dusty Attic board to inspire you all. Before I start with the new project I want to thank you all for such a beautiful and warm welcome. I really appreciate the effort of those who specially took time and left their beautiful comments here on the blog and facebook. 

On to my today's project...
My kids love taking "selfies" but I am type of a person that personally hate clicking. But I love love love collecting pictures that they click. Perhaps I can give you a deeper psychological explanation. Our time on this earth only lasts for so long, and a camera allows us to preserve memories far past when they might have slipped our mind. It helps us pass those memories into the hands of future generations. Our photos are little legacies of the life we have led – our travels, experiences, food, family, friends, work relationships and more. Each photo is a window into a moment, and the collections of images we take over the years are a window into who we were and what we valued. Ultimately it comes down to a simple truth....seeing that moment captured makes us genuinely happy.

I generally preserve pictures by creating an art piece....be it in my journal page or a frame. For me my daughter is the only model. Hehehe....Oh I love her.!! Love her innocent face n decent smile. Having daughters is one of the greatest joys we could imagine....Isn't it ??
Here is my take on February's Mood board with her picture only. 




I used Blue Fern Studio papers from Sanctuary and Timeless collection to build up this piece. 
Here are few close-ups...
I got huge collection  of Dusty Attic Chippies in my Dt pack which includes a bunch of dangles and pieces that are just a MUST for any chipboard enthusiast like me. Look at those in the picture.....just GORGEOUS!!



Oh I love that  #Chandallier 2 and Ornate Pendant #4. I first primed them with white gesso and then painted with Dusty in Color Jungle Green, Dusty in Color Oceania and Dusty in Color Alabaster. 



Sprinkle of clear rock candy glitter and blings are adding little more artistic look to the pendants. 




I added have added texture using  Dusty Attic Texture paste with Knitting Stencil on the lower side of the frame.
Word " Captured" is from word pack #34,simply painted with all the three shades. 
Word "Awesome" is taken from word pack #33 and heat embossed using custome made glittered heat embossing powder. 




I have created a bunch of flowers using few Prima twigs, mulberry Lillies and a blue heartfelt creation flower made by me. DA 1399, Seagrass #2 and Laura leaves are adding finishing touch to the whole embellished cluster. 






Here are few more shots of the art piece....

While I was making the above piece I was left with custom made glittered heat embossing powder. I just thought of using it on other chipboards and here is the quick card as a bonus inspiration for you all.  I have added lots of colors that don't match our February Mood Board but If its bonus....anything iwe get is just great. Isn't it ??

So here is my bonus inspiration for you all. 


Background is all created using different shades of Dusty in Color 
, lots of stamping and heat embossing here and there and the chippies heat embossed with glittered heat embossing powder. Bird is stamped and simply painted using Steadtler watercolor pencils. Hope you like it. 






Oh....I lam in love with that glittered chippies. I have used the smaller size of Vintage frame #4 and placed it side ways...as that was the demand of my project. 





Look at that gorgeous shades of Dusty in color.....Yummy enough to be used more frequently. 

All flowers are handmade...simply punched and embossed.
