Mixed-media Collage, Art-journal and Scrapbooking by Anna Dabrowska
Check out how beautiful this decoupage paper looks in the background! It creates such an amazing vibe!
It perfectly matches the photo from our vacation.
Thanks to using brown Impasto paint on the edges and applying Soft Gel with Mica through a stencil, the paper blended seamlessly into the background and everything looks like one cohesive piece!
I’m absolutely in love with this effect — what about you?

Today I’m sharing an altered hoop with a fun shaker twist! For the base of this project, I used Finnabair’s Time Traveler’s Decoupage Fiber Paper—the vintage tones and elements are absolutely perfect for creating a steampunk-inspired background.
I then built a dimensional cluster using a mix of chipboard, metal embellishments, and resin pieces, layering them to create lots of mechanical detail. To bring everything together and add that beautifully aged look, I used plenty of Finnabair Rust Pastes for rich texture and an authentic rusty finish.
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!

Hello creative friends!
Recently I’ve had a lot of deadlines to meet and it made me think a lot about how time changes depending on what you’re doing. Sometimes time goes slowly and sometimes it speeds right past you. I wanted to create a project with this idea in mind.
I started with a base and stencil. I picked out my embellishments- beetles for when time crawls and a bird and dragonfly for when time flies!
I wanted to stay in a theme of the natural elements so I decided to use various shades of green media.
