You can by Julia Patrikeeva

Hello, creative friends!

Julia Patrikeeva is with you. Today, my inspiration was the frame that I decorated with Finnabair products.

I'll tell you a little bit about this process.

First, with the help of a soft matte gel, I fix the scrapbook in the background.

I turn to Rama. Using a palette knife and texture paste, I create a relief. I cover it with black plaster.

I set the color with metallic and liquid paints, waxes add shades.

A little magic with the help of micro beads and glitter - and you're done!

I wish you inspiration! Goodbye!

Colorful ATCs by Asia Szczurowska

I hope that this year we will be able to take pictures in the beautiful winter scenery. I have prepared a delicate, light coloured frame for this occasion. I used a standard photo frame and covered it with gesso to make it more white. Then I glued strips of papers cut from one of the 7 dots studio collections. Of course, there were also casts covered with paints and wax.

Curious? Please watch the video tutorial

November 2021 challenge

Hello friends,

This month we would like to inspire you with Autumn forest, frosty mornings, natural objects and warm shades of brown.

Our fabulous design team created projects inspired by our moodboard:

Hello creative friends! Isn't this month's moodboard just gorgeous? It makes me think of crisp frosty mornings when the leaves crunch underfoot and snuggling up in a thick woollen jumper drinking hot chocolate. I was especially inspired by the images of the apples and the contrast between the bright red and the snow so I used that as the starting point for my project.

I've collected a lot of natural objects over the last few months and this was the perfect place to use them. I kept most of the colours except for the apples quite muted, dry-brushed with white gesso a number of times to create a real frosty effect and finished off with some snowflake paste for good measure!

Hello creative friend! As soon as I saw the inspiration board, I wanted to create an autumn project.

I used a piece of real wood as a base. Using a soft matte gel, I fix the openwork cutting on the background.

And with paints, I create a palette of a warm autumn forest, which is about to plunge into the cold winter...

See you soon!

This month's moodboard inspired me to create this autumnal scene and I had a thought for the birds that have flown to warmer climes.

Hello friends!

I have prepared a canvas for you inspired by our incredibly beautiful moodboard. It's a late fall mood with frost, wood grain and various wonderful elements that I captured in my canvas. Mushrooms, snow-covered red berries, cones, twigs, little keys and blades of grass.

I used White Craquelure Paste for the background. Elements are glued on a Heavy Body Gel. I love to use it because it fixes elements very well. Accents are highlighted by Unicorn's Hair Sparks and Golden Nugget Effect Paste. A complete list of materials that I used can be found below.
