Signs of Winter by Lori Woods

Hello creative friends! The festive season is my favourite to create- it's cold and dark outside and there’s nothing better than sitting cosy inside with a hot cup of tea and allowing your creative imagination to wander!

For this project Finnabair’s new Steam and Frost collection was perfect. I wanted to create a small project containing lots of elements of winter. I started by painting my base and adding stencil detail. I coloured various mould elements using the Pearls and Crystals mica set. Small frame moulds are great to use with scraps of decoupage paper left over from other projects.

I layered the moulds into a design I was happy with and then added extra embellishments with mechanicals and art pebbles. Waxes, snowflake paste and crushed ice paste helped to add detail and highlighted areas over the project.

Mixed-media Woodland ATC by Reniferove

I don't know about you, but where I live, you can already feel spring in the air. Such wonderful weather makes me eagerly go for afternoon walks. Unfortunately, I don't have a forest near me, which I love so much. This longing for moss, sticks and the smell of the forest gave rise to ATC mixed media with many natural elements that I collect on walks. A little moss is something that soothes my longing heart.

Tropical Night Mixed-media Canvas by Margarita Shkludova

Hello, creative friends! Margarita Shkludova is here.

This month, we have such a charming mood board: a southern breeze and the delicate shades of liquid acrylics from the Dreamy Set. The vision came to me instantly — a cool tropical night, the gentle fragrance of exotic flowers, stars twinkling high above, and the soothing whisper of waves nearby.

For the background, I used paper from the Stargazer collection by 7 Dots Studio. And for my tropical head wreath, I wove together metallic embellishments from Finnabair, seashells, and flowers. You'll find the full list of Finnabair materials used in this project below.

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

Wishing you all a wonderful creative mood! 

See you soon!
