Echoes of Time – Mixed Media Art Journal by Margarita Shkludova

Hello, creative friends! Margarita Shkludova here.

Today I’m sharing a new spread from my art journal filled with rich vintage tones and bold color accents.

For this piece, I used the new A3 Decoupage Fiber “Chestnut Street” and Ephemera “Time Travellers” from Finnabair. These beautiful materials instantly transport you to another era — to sepia portraits, faded letters, and stories that feel both distant and deeply familiar. I love how they add a nostalgic, almost cinematic atmosphere to the pages.



The faces in these portraits remind me of strength, determination, and quiet dreams. The golden touches from Jewel Effect Paste bring light and movement, while deep teal and rust tones create contrast and a sense of time passing. It feels like the artwork captures that moment when history and imagination meet — when we remember that every journey starts with courage.


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


Don’t be afraid to aim high and believe in your creative path — time always rewards the brave dreamers.

See you next time!

Time Travellers Altered Journal by Lanette

 Hello Creative Friends!

Today I’m excited to share an Altered Fabric Journal created with Finnabair’s gorgeous new release — and let me tell you, this collection is an absolute must-have!

I started by pouring a variety of resin elements from the brand-new moulds, then chose the beautiful Chestnut Street Fiber Paper as my base, adhering it to the journal cover with Soft Matte Gel. To add extra dimension and interest, I brought in some subtle texture using the New Old Pages Stencil Set along with a touch of Golden Nugget Paste.

With the base complete, it was time to build my focal cluster. I couldn’t resist using the stunning gear and beetle elements from the Steampunk Beetles Mould — they just might be my new favorites from this release!

Finally, I pulled everything together with layers of color, combining Rust Paste, Liquid Acrylics, Wax, and of course, a touch of glitter for that perfect finishing sparkle.


I absolutely love how this project turned out, and I hope it inspires you to dive into this beautiful new release and create something magical of your own.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope I’ve encouraged you to spend a little creative time in your art space.


Until next time – hugs, and happy creating!

Lanette
