Dusty Attic Discover Layout

Hello friends, Lisa here to share another layout using the gorgeous March Mood Board. I chose to use just about all of the colors in it for my layout, and  it morphed into a color frenzy.  I guess that is what inspiration does for you. It gets your mojo going. But that's good!!! Right?? Here is the March Mood Board. Why don't you try and see what it does for you!! The colors in each board, every month, will surely inspire you to create. The colors for me, have the lush feel of spring on the verge of summer. It is simply splashed in gorgeous color.

In Florida, we have the beautiful little hummingbird. I found this photo on Pinterest and fell in love with it. I used a piece from the String Set chipboard as a frame because it reminded me of  the beginnings of a nest. I painted it with Dusty Attic Colour in Raisin, then sprayed it with Lindys Stamp Gang Moonlit Mulberry MoonShadow Spray. It was a perfect match and added that bit of drama to the piece.

I created the blue flowers from die cutting patterned paper, then watered down some Denim paint and just lightly brushed it over the petals. I made the nest with Spanish moss and moss purchased at Joanns. The tiny eggs which are the true size of hummingbird eggs were created with Fimo Clay and painted with  Oceania. The Dusty Attic Soot colour was watered down a bit and using a toothbrush, I flecked the black paint on them for a speckled look. 

I clustered some Dusty blooms with my handmade blooms. The leaves are also from Dusty Attic.

The Ornate Corner was treated the same way the String chipboard was done.

Here is a closeup of one of the curled back ends showing the mix of flowers. I wanted the blue flowers to have a painterly feel. Like watercolors.

The word Discover, taken from the Words #3 pack was treated the same way as the other pieces.

Finally, this is just a closeup of the photo and frame. I die cut some tags to place behind the framed photo.
