Paint Caddy - Vicky Alberto

Vicky blogging today to share with you my altered Dusty Attic paint caddy (DA0811). I loved the fact that the wood edges were already stained very dark brown. So, I didn't feel it necessary to paint the inside since my project was going to be black, cream and tan anyways (and it will be filled with all my DA paints too). I do love the simple elegance of the natural tan wood colour against the cream and black papers.

I added some DA French flourish pieces (DA0275 and DA0273) to decorate the top portion and the drawer. I kept the natural wood finish on the French flourish pieces and simply topped them with DA's clear crackle varnish (DA0900) to give them a polished look. This nicely matches the natural finish on the inside of the caddy.

This sturdy MDF caddy is so very easy to assemble and is a really good size to house a lot of paints on top and tools in the drawer. The caddy is 9.5 inches wide, by 10 inches deep, by 5.5 inches high.
Thanks for joining me on the blog today!

Dreamer - Tina Dalton

Hi there, This month I wanted to create a layout using one of my favorite pieces from the latest release, The gorgeous Ivy corners These are really beautiful pieces and my whole layout was based on these. I covered them in Maja papers  ( Vintage Summer Basics ) and placed some muslin underneath them. I painted all of my Dusty Attic products with Navajo white paint and slightly distressed the edges with my craft knife to add some character to the pieces.
I cut the door on the birdcage  and sat a little bird in there, I also distressed the edge of my photo.
Below is a list of all the Dusty Attic products I have used to create this layout.
Flutterbies #3 DA 0766
Chevrons DA 0992
Heart arrows #1 DA 1016
Ivy Corners DA 1034
Bird Cage #4 DA 0085
I hope you have enjoyed this project, and gathered some inspiration as well, Happy Scrapping  :) x

I applied some croco crackle on the hearts, and finished the effect by brushing lightly with

gently rubbing into the cracks, and wiping over with a damp cloth.
 I love this crackle effect x
