September Art Recipe

 Hello friends,


We hope you have familiarized already with our new visual moodboards, that consist of:
4 products to choose from - they are shown on the right
colour palette - right next to the products and each colour has their own circle
- and visual inspiration in a form of several beautiful images.

It is easy to remember - things in circles are the core of the challenge (colours and products) and things in squares/rectangles are only a visual inspiration to help you get creative juices flowing.

Just to make sure, you are all well informed, we would like to let you know, that challenges will be going live usually each second Sunday of the month. So please do not be surprised, that Inlinkz is closed the day before.

September, for me, is no longer summer, but not autumn either. 
This is a special, preserved period of time, cozy, warm and generous with memories.
This is a time of long walks in the park, collecting leaves for herbarium, twigs and cones for future projects. These are picnics and charming sunsets. 
This is a warm blanket, tea, and the forest - changing its dress from green to orange-red ...
I love September. 
For its spirit, mood and inspiration.
And, I am very fortunate to be invited as a guest designer this month!




Well, first of all, because it's September)
Secondly, because this month is just an incredible mood board, color palette and, of course, ingredients.
I love using moulds in my projects. None of them can't do without them. I consider it's a universal decor element.




Just like rust effect pastes. They add mystery to the projects, a touch of time and many untold stories. 
And where can we go without metal embellishments? They helps to add dynamics and a special charm to the project.





Each detail and decor element adds its own flavor, breathes its own story into the project and brings it to life.


For example, I will use this door hanger for my workshop door. And the inscription in the picture with the lady becomes as relevant as possible) 



Inspiration from our team:


Gift for a friend or for you to keep you memories. Yes, I made a small box and it is such a fun to have a card that has little bit different shape or size.










The grey, orange and royal blue create an eye catching effect. Texture comes from a fantasy set of pastes.







The Art Recipe for September includes shades of gray and orange. I always dream of such autumn, full of warm shades, the so-called a real Polish golden autumn with warm rays of the sun and rustling leaves.



My today's project is inspired by such a color scheme. And of course, the wonderful Finnabair products. Art Daily Vintage Photobooth stickers, text stickers, fantastic metal elements that have a rustic effect by themselves. 




In addition, Clear Gesso for securing papers, Soft Matte Gel for gluing the whole thing and Liquid Acrylic Paint in Tiger Orange color! I also used a metal clip with a decorative accessory, isn't it cute? For this 7 Dots studio papers and accessories;))




Hugs,
Kasia Salmanowicz

Wooden box by Kasia Salmanowicz

Hello;))
Do you like using natural elements in your mixed media projects? I like very much! In addition, on the lid of my wooden box, I decided to use dry sticks;)) There is the window with HDF shutters. For this a bit of lace, small paper flowers and metal accessories from Finnabair.


I secured the whole box with White Gesso and toher elements with Clear Gesso. For coloring I used Impasto paints in two colors - Dark Chocolate and Boudoir Pink, some Liquid Acrylic Paint and finally a beautiful metallic paint Spring Blossom that added a bit of sparkle.







I also used wonderfully shiny cabochons and thoroughly whitened the whole composition. Check out the tutorial with all the tips.



Have a nice day,
Kasia Salmanowicz

Vintage Cards by Kasia Bogatko

As an „art person”, I am expected to have a hand-made card for all celebrations. I think you know it too. And cards are not my specialty, but I managed to work out a sketch that comes out quite well. I also decided to prepare a few cards as a spare, you can only add an inscription depending on the occasion. If it's the same for you, I encourage you to make a few cards and save them for special occasions. It will be much easier.

To make cards, you only need a piece of paper and leaves, either cut from papers or dies. I also need a string and a flower. Any twigs or sticks will also be useful. Also, remember not to let the page be to flat. Separate each layer with cardboard or foam tape. This will make the card richer and look better.


To add some color and contrast, I used liquid acrylic paints. They give a beautiful watercolor effect and are water resistant. Gesso will also give the cards a great vintage atmosphere.






I encourage you to watch my movie. You will see that even if you are not a card specialist, it is very easy to prepare them. The recipients will surely be delighted with such a gift.
