Vintage Hugs – Mixed Media Canvas by Margarita Shkludova

Hello, creative friends! Margarita Shkludova here.

Today I’m sharing a new canvas filled with soft vintage details, warm pink tones, and delicate layers that feel like little memories frozen in time.

I always love creating projects with an aged and romantic mood. Old photographs, distressed textures, tiny clocks, numbers, and flowers bring such a beautiful feeling of nostalgia to the composition. This canvas feels gentle and emotional — like opening an old box filled with handwritten letters, treasured keepsakes, and moments from the past. The soft gold accents and sparkling details add warmth and a touch of magic to the whole piece.



One of my favorite things in mixed media is combining dimensional embellishments with rich textures. Layers of flowers, glitter, and vintage elements create depth and help every small detail tell its own story. For me, projects like this are not only about composition, but also about emotion and atmosphere.




I invite you to watch the video tutorial on creating this panel. Enjoy watching!


Sometimes creativity is simply a way to hold onto beautiful memories a little longer.

See you soon!

Colourful Experiment by Lori Woods

 Hello creative friends!  

When I got the new Finnabair effect paste sets, I knew they would be great for stencils but I also wanted to see what else I could do with them. I decided to create this project as a kind of experiment and one of the Southampton Butterflies decoupage sheets had the perfect background to start.

I spread a nice thick layer of the Enchanted Pearl paste onto some old plastic packaging and places some chipboard shapes on top of this. When the paste dried, it had a nice solid flexible finish so that I could just peel it from the plastic, trim it around the chipboard and turned into a beautiful opalescent embellishment! For the Mermaid paste, I decided I would use it to fill some tiny glass bottles to create some magical little potions for my experiment.


I then layered everything out on the background with the perfect picture of a mad scientist to go with it and I think I will call this experiment a success!
