Hi mixed media lovers! I am Olya Kravets and I am so exited to be a Guest Designer. It is a great honor for me and one of my dreams.

I am 29 years old and I am the mother of little princess Milana. I’m from Ukraine, but now my family and I live in Moscow. I returned to scrapbooking 2 years ago and now have dedicated my life to creating and inspiring! I try every day to be better than yesterday, always learn and develop. My favorite style of scrapbooking is mixed media. Here I can create different projects and feel like an artist. I think that artists should always develop! It’s a real gift. And it’s best to do this with a circle of talented friends.

This moodboard very inspired me with color and mood. Night city and delicate shades of pink adorably combined. I decided to create an alter project - it's a crescent with mysteries and secrets. At night time stops and you can spread your wings for your dreams. So I really love this time! I wanted to show the mystery and beauty of the moon, it always fascinated me.

For my project, I used many products from Finnabair, delightful acrylic paints and waxes to see the texture. I also decorated the project with IOD moulds. And of course the favorite metal embellishments and art ingredients.

I hope that inspired you and you liked my project. Hugs and I wish a wonderful creative mood! Let every day be the best!

Hello everyone! It's Juliya here. I would like to share with you my new art. Art about my love for the old iron, light bulbs and gypsum figurines of angels. And of course to the cracks.

A few details of the work, and I'll tell you how to do the texture on the frame.

Now a little about the process))
I wanted a textured, rough base layer.
So I mixed the modeling paste Opaque matte + Texture powder.
The powder is very fine and adds texture to the smooth paste. And it also makes it thicker.

When the first layer has dried, I put the inverse paste White Sand. This paste with large sand, when it dries, it becomes transparent. I put it in places!
When the sandy paste dries and stops sticking, I add the Crackle paste. Also not on the whole frame.

While the krakle dries, I select the background paper, cut out the right size, and cover it with gel.

The paste dried and cracked. Now I paste the background. I add more pieces of paper. And I decide to paint not alcoholics, but powder. But first, I need to mute the bright background.
I cover with a thin layer of Gesso.
