Santorini Memories - by Finnabair

Hi again my dear ones!
If you are following the social media you know I'm busy working on the projects and getting ready for the Creative World in Frankfurt - it is this weekend! In the last days I had a chance to put some of my new products into proper use - and here is the result of one of my sessions!

The photo which I've picked as my inspiration is one of many we've taken during our amazing trip to Santorini last year - and I was absolutely memorised by the beautiful colours of the Bougainvillea against the grey wall and the blue door. I did my best to match this colour palette with my composition and I think I've done quite a good job!

First of all - I was playing with my new Art Alchemy Liquid Acrylics - I can't wait to show them to you all properly as they are the richest and most exciting paint with so many uses! I've added the highlights with Art Alchemy Waxes - new Metallique colours and a touch of one from previous release - White Gold to warm it up a little.

This amazing sparkle is the result of using my new Art Extravagance Unicorn Effect Paste - it is a fun name, but it is the most amazing and magical iridescent paste indeed! I applied it through on e of my new Stencils - Iris Tapestry and the result is just so beautiful that you want to repeat this combination again and again in the future.

The elements I've used are a good mix of my Mechanicals, pieces made using my new Moulds - mostly Mechanica, Stars and Moons, Flower Queen and Fairy Garden. I've prepared a bunch in advance so it is easier for me just to take them and put in the composition. There are some natural elements used too - little sticks which correspond with the Bougainvillea branches - I was thinking it will be a nice touch!

All the new products will be coming to the shops very soon - I know there are on the way! I hope you will love them as much as I do and you will have have good creative fun using them in the close future!

I know there is a chance I will see some of you in Frankfurt - please don't forget to stop by for a chat or to see the demo of the new release - you can find me as always - at Notions booth!

Sending love

Beauty by Olga Bielska

Hi, it's Olga here! This is my next inspiration for the Creative Team.
This time I created for you vintage canvas.

You can see the making of in my tutorial.

I started my work with the application of Icing Paste through the template on canvas. Then I glued the paper.

Next I used Clear Gesso as a primer to protect the paper. I sprinkled powder on the paper and I sprayed it with water. Then I dried it. The result is a bunch of beautiful spots on the paper.

To create this composition, I used chipboard pieces, resin casts, lace, paper elements and metal embellishments. The Heavy Body Gel helped me stick it all.

Finally, I added some white colour applying Gesso White with a sponge and I added some stamps.

I really hope that I was able to inspire you!
Have a great day, Olga.

Permission by Riidhi

Hello Guys,

Riddhi here today with my first project in 2019 with my all time favorite "Finnabair" products.

Most of the time I get inspirations from quotes, nature as well as situations from real life, and in my today project I have been inspired by all of them.

I like to read quotes and one day I have read below motivational quote.

“When you give yourself permission to communicate what matters to you in every situation you will have peace despite rejection or disapproval. Putting a voice to your soul helps you to let go of the negative energy of fear and regret.”

― Shannon L. Alder

Isn't is a deep quote that relates to most of the people ?

On another day I was searching something regarding the quote I read yesterday. You know that, Finnabair released "Sentiments Stickers". I found similar Sentiment which I was looking for and even I found perfect focal image for it.
