Vintage-style paper box by Kasia Salmanowicz

If you’re wondering what surfaces you can apply Finnabair Fiber Decoupage Paper to, let me give you the answer right away. You really don’t need to worry about the base material. For instance, I created my project using a paper box for chocolate, and I have to tell you that applying this paper completely transformed it.

It features a warm, aged color palette with a vintage touch and full of texture. Paper with a delicate, antique-style print serves as the background for the entire composition. Layered over it are HDF elements, metal accents, Prima paper flowers, and small details that add depth to the piece.

The focal point of the composition is a dragonfly created using a Finnabair mould. You can find this and other moulds at the Mixed Media Place shop, of course. Its metallic, distressed finish harmonizes beautifully with shades of brown, copper, and muted gold.



It is precisely these details that give the box the look of an object discovered in an old workshop.


Have a nice day,

Kasia Salmanowicz

Cosmic Beetle by Szafranowe Twory

I'll share a little secret with you: children's board books are perfect for art journals! That's all thanks to their thick pages, which can handle all kinds of mixed-media experiments!







​So, I upcycled a book like that from my sons, and so far, I’ve managed to decorate the cover using casts from various molds. I was in the mood for a metallic "wow" effect, so I first painted everything with black gesso and then went wild with metallic waxes! These are definitely my favorite creative shenanigans. How do you like the result?

Nature's Wonders by Lori Woods

 Hello creative friends! For this project I wanted to create something colourful and quick and took my inspiration from the many beautiful colours in nature. 

I started with the display frame and painted this in various shades of brown to create the look of old wood. I then picked 3 different greens for the leaves to create some realistic looking shading. Then the most colourful part, the beetles and butterflies! I used various shades of metallique paint and finished off with a little effect paste.
