The Right Time Canvas by Lanette

Today I am sharing a Mixed Media Canvas featuring a few of Finnabair’s fabulous new goodies!

For the base of my project, I started with the Southampton Butterflies Decoupage Fiber Paper, which creates an instant background full of beautiful vintage detail. I love how these papers make it so easy to build a layered foundation for mixed media projects.

Next, I added a bit of texture and subtle shimmer using the Sunrise Pearl Effect Paste. The soft glow adds just the right amount of light to the background without overpowering the design.

After building my focal cluster with chipboard elements, metal embellishments, and layered details, I finished everything off with touches of Golden Dragon Effect Paste from the new Dragonlight Set. This paste adds the most gorgeous sparkle and really brings the whole piece to life!

If you’d like to see how this project came together step-by-step, be sure to check out my full process video on the Finnabair YouTube channel.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope this project inspires you—even in a small way—to carve out some creative time and play in your art space.

Until next time,

Hugs & FUN creating!

Clouds - mixed-media project by Lori Woods

Hello creative friends!   I’m having so much fun with the new release pastes. For this project I decided to use up some left over moulds from previous projects to create something new.

I was so eager to start the project I forgot to hit record on the camera for the first part so I started by using Midnight Pearl effect paste with one of the new stencils. I then took some chipboard shapes, placed these on a plastic background and filled in the spaces with a thick layer of paste and left to dry.

I then used the odd mould pieces to create two rough cloud shapes, painted everything with gesso and then used two blue colours of liquid acrylics.  I dry brushed over the moulds and then added potion effect paste around the bottom of the clouds.  I added some Mint Sparkle wax to the tops of the clouds and then glued on the chipboards.

Hello, and welcome to April. 

This time, I've prepared some inspiration featuring new Finnabair products, based on a kitchen board made of HDF material.

You've probably seen the beautiful fiber papers from Finnabair? If not, I encourage you to visit the Mixed Media Place store, where a whole host of new products await you and your creativity.

I chose one of three new fiber paper sets, along with a set of new texture pastes with an amazing effect. Although the photo shows their beautiful shine, you can see much more in the video.
