Thank you so much for the invitation! I am super happy to guest design for Mixed Media Place blog, one of the best mixed media blogs online!

My name is Maria Lillepruun. I am an experienced scrapbooker and a mixed media artist based in Tallinn, Estonia. My biggest hobby is playing around with beautiful paper, paints, textures and glitters. I can literally do it 24/7 :) I lead live workshops and do my best to popularize mixed media art in my country. My blog is called Magic Attic Design, you are most welcome to visit!

I really loved the new Mixed Media Place mood board and was happy to incorporate some of its details in my project.

I created a mixed media layout with one of the most intriguing birds in nature, the raven. I see this wild bird as a symbol of freedom and wisdom. I called the layout "The sky is the limit". It now decorates my studio and inspires to think deeply and create freely whatever I desire without letting any doubts to disturb my creative process.

I was inspired by the space picture on our mood board, but I also wanted to include poppies and some pink splashes in my layout. To create the background I combined the patterned paper background (Fortune-teller "Charted" sheet, Verano Azul "Green time" sheet) with hand painted space background. I painted space with watercolors. The additional texture is applied to acetate sheets using Prima stencil. 3 D glossy gel and alcohol inks. The poppies on the layout are dried real poppy heads that I glued on and painted to add a special detail to my layout. 

I also used the following Mixed Media Place materials:
