Hello friends! Margarita Shkludova is here.

The moodboard this month filled me with the magic of tenderness and cosiness. The deer became the main character of my project. I also used images of butterflies, sunset grasses and pink elements.

As a result, I got a canvas with a magical deer. It reminded me of my favourite song from childhood that my mother used to sing to me. "... Take me away deer to your country of deer, where pines strive to the sky, where existing and imagined things lives. Take me there forest deer...."

And of course, the magic of Finnabair jars from Mixed Media Place Shop helped me to create. White Crackle paste, Sparks, waxes, etc. The upper part of the background is decorated with Tissue Paper. And all the elements are glued with Heavy Body Gel. You can find the complete list of materials below.

May your life be filled with magic!

See you soon!

Hello everyone! Julia Patrikeeva is with you.

An incredible moodboard gave me inspiration with a palette.

It is unusual for me and therefore even more attractive.

I see the peace and the value of the moment.

For your inspiration, I created a decorative board, and background from scratch, using my favourite paints and wax.

I wish you a great day and inspiration!

The first thing, from the moodboard, that caught my eye was the turntable. I don’t have a vinyl record that I could use as the basis of the project, so I made it. I put Paper Paste on the round base and used compasses to create grooves.

Other elements that inspired me were butterflies and a deer standing in the forest. Instead of a butterfly, I chose the moth. I used it as a focal point. I used elements associated with the forest: sticks, leaves, and insects. I glued the cardboard in such a way, that it looked like deer antlers.

I coloured everything with pink paints. I brought details forward using brown liquids acrylics and waxes.

Hello creative friends, here is my inspiration for the current challenge.

I used my favourite products: acrylic liquid paint and crackle paste. Look at this amazing butterfly from one of the new Finnabair moulds. Isn't it beautiful? I love it very much like the other moulds. I hope you will feel inspired by this challenge, the price is very interesting. Here's to your creations, I can't wait to see them!
