September Inspiration by Marie Johansson

Hi Crafty Souls!

Marie here today with my inspiration piece for the September Moodboard. I was inspiered by the books & the fantastic colors in this moodboard and decided to create a bookmark. For me fall is equal to reading - one of my favorite things is to sit on the front poach under a blanket, with a book and a good cup of coffee in my hands.

I tried to capture the mix of golden, bronze and browns when creating the bookmark. The black chalkstock bookmark from Canvas Corp was perfect as base. I added texture with a AB Studio stencil and modeling paste before blending different shades of Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists.

The leaf turned out lovely! I cut it from a piece of cardboard using a stencil from AB Studio to get the shape. I painted it golden with Tattered Angels High Impact Paints in 3 cotes - if you look closely you can see that I used purple & gold. Layer 1 was gold, 2 purple and 3 gold again.

September Moodboard ''Journey'' by Mary Catt

Hello dears!

Mary Catt is with you today with my very first post as a member of this amazingly talented team. I'm so excited and I hope I'll give you some inspiration with my work! 

Olya's moodboards are my most favorites! Truly inspirational with amazing sketches, textures and colors...  When I saw September's board I wanted to create an altered project. Don't know why cause it's not my usual style but I knew I had to give it a try. So I altered a frame... hope you'll like it...

 I got my inspiration from the color palette, the textures and the elements. I tried to follow the sketch and I used the word Journey as my title too.

September layout "Charm" by Svetlana Lipnitskaya

Hello dears!

Autumn mood has captured the scrapers and I am no exception. So today I am with you, Svetlana Lipnitskaya and my new layout "Charm". The layout turned out to be vintage, with a lot of shiny details and decorative things. In the photo my sister, a fashionista and beauty, we are often told that we are very similar in appearance))

The basis of 7Dots paper, but the small crop and cut elements from the vintage collection Primamarketing.

Всем привет!

Осеннее настроение уже завладело скраперами и я не исключение. Поэтому с Вами сегодня я, Светлана Липницкая и моя новая страничка "Charm". Страничка получилась винтажной, с большим количеством блестящих деталей и декоративных штучек. На фотографии моя родная сестра, модница и красавица, нам часто говорят, что мы очень похожи внешне))

В основе бумага 7Dots, но мелкие обрезки и вырезанные элементы из старинной коллекции Primamarketing. 

By the way, the background chipboard was cut into several parts and covered with micro beads. It turned out very beautiful.

Кстати, фоновый чипборд разрезала на несколько частей и покрыла микробисером. Получилось очень красиво.

September mood board by Magdalena

Hello Mixed Media & Art enthusiasts!

Magdalena here, with my first project as a member of this fabulous, creative team. I am super excited to be here and I can promise you guys, that I will do my best to keep you inspired during coming months.

Olya's mood boards are one of a kind: always beautiful, dreamy and truly inspirational. Please do join in the September challenge here.

I have chosen to alter an oval picture frame and as you can see on pictures, I have used a lot of embellishments. I have tried to refer to the concept of time travel, using a chipboard clock face and some gears, but my main focus was on keeping this project as feminine and dreamy as possible. This is why I've used some butterflies, flowers, metal doilies and leaves. I did some stamping and used a few Lindy's colours on the background. The frame itself and most of the embellishments were painted with black gesso and coloured with Alchemy waxes by Finnabair.

Kate Yette

Inspired by this month's mood board, I created a mixed media album out of mailing envelopes. I used stencils, paint, stamps and threads to embellish the cover and washi tape for spine.
