Mixed Media Party ATC's | Terhi Koskinen

Hi all!

It's Terhi here with you today, sharing some ATC's I did during Mixed Media Party last October.
Sometimes the best ideas comes just like that, without thinking and planning. As these cards, I thought to do something, and somehow I came up with these.


To create the background, I played with mists and water on white cardboard. I created some random patterns and used heat gun to dry the colors before adding the next layer.
Then some stencil work with modelling paste, and again lost of colors.




These all four cards are open for swap, so if you're interested just let me know.
The easiest way is to head over to my blog and comment my post there:


Now I want to wish you the best and happiest Christmas ever, we'll see you again next year.
Hugs for all,

Terhi xx

Bec Genet




"Hi, I’m Bec. I'm originally from New Zealand but I now live in Brisbane Australia with my Husband and Daughter. During the week I work as a Chemist and every other spare minute I spend in my craft space.

I started scrapbooking after my Daughter was born in 2006 and I have just become more obsessed every year. In the last couple of years I have found mixed media scrapbooking and that has become my new passion. I also love to make altered art creations, canvases and card/tags. My scrap style is girly, I have to add flowers and pearls to everything 

I’m very grateful to be on some wonderful design teams and get to spend my weekend doing what I love. Getting the opportunity to be on the 13 Arts guest design team is amazing."



Remember Layout - December 2015

I started this layout using the Holly Stencil with modelling paste, then I added colour to my layout with mists in Pastel Mint, Chalk Dark Brown and Chalk Burnt Sienna. 



I cut some pieces of paper from the Winter Tales Collection and layered them under my photo. I also cut two tags from the Christmas Tags paper and put them behind my photo.



 I layered on lots of flowers, leaves and chipboard, The Remember chipboard word is coloured with the Slash ink in Glitter Green. To finish off I splashed some Glitter Green Splash ink on the page and added some glitter and Mica flakes.

Tatiana Yemelyanenko




"My name is Tatiana Yemelyanenko, I'm from Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine. I worked at the University but now I'm a stay-at-home mom to one little girl. I fell in love with scrapbooking and mixed media in the end of 2011. I love that scrapbooking helps me to capture the moments of my life and brings creativity in ordinary days. I like to experiment with different styles and techniques and use chipboard, mists, paints, texture pastes and stencils in my projects. Also I love paper. Very often it's my source of inspiration. I think that my style is feminine light mixed media.


I decided to crete romanic LO using paper from Secret letters collection and chose photo made one sunny winter day. 


I used pink and silver colors for adding romantic mood to my project. I started for preparing paper with Gel medium, then added color using mists. 


On the next step I used modeling paste with stencil and add dimension to my layout using glitter, microspheres, mica flakes and paint. Hope you enjoy my project!

Peace with Jelissa

Hello friends, we are just a week away from Christmas!

Hope you're finishing up those last minute shopping and getting ready for the merry making and catching a break from a whole year's work.

Today I'm up on the blog to share a winter layout with you. Coming from tropical Singapore, I've always had a deep fascination for winter - the cuddling around the fire on a winter night, holding hot cocoa in my hands and with my loved ones around me sharing warmth and laughter. Winter is such a time for families.

Here is my page:



I love the world looks like when it wakes up from a night of snow. Everything is covered in a soft white blanket and all is quiet and peaceful. I found that photo from the internet because it conveyed such a sense of serenity. I tried to do a monochrome layout with varying shades of grey by mixing matt black paint with white in different amounts. I also painted with Chalk Grey mist and Old Silver metallic paint to obtain those gradations in color. Underneath the painting is stenciling some snowflakes with a paste I made from Magic Powder and White and Silver glitter. When it dries, it leaves a beautiful iridescent finish. I also made splatters with my black and white matt paints.

Some closeups: 



My title piece is from Winter Tales chipboard words and I painted it with White Silver glitter paint, followed by the leftover paste I used for the stenciling in the background. The snowflake chipboard underneath was treated the same way. 



After all the paint and paste is dried, I went over another layer with modeling paste for words to create that subtle contrast in the background.



To add on more texture, I sprinkled glass glitter, plastic microspheres and sealed them with liquid medium. I would have happily added silver microspheres as well if only I could find them in the tornado of scrap supplies on my desk. This is what happens when you get so caught up in crafting that you forget about packing up!

With that, this is all I have to share for today. Hope you like what I have created. Happy crafting!

Magical by Ingrid


Hello there 13arts friends!
Ingrid here today with a bitter sweet blogpost.
This will be my last post for the 13arts blog....
I have decided to take a year off from all teams.
Not that I will give up all the creativity 
but I thought it would be nice to work with no deadlines for a change.
I will take up an old love of mine, photography.
Hubby and I love to make long nature walks and really enjoy being outdoors.
So every week we plan a trip and off we go........packed with my camera, lunch and drinks! 

With this said, I would like to thank you Aida and the team for a fabulous year!
Thanks for the opportunity to be part of a wonderful team with such talented ladies!
I'm sure we will be seeing each other!

To all of my friends,
wishing you a fabulous, creative, healthy, sunny and magical new year!
All the best for 2016!

Magical, a winter canvas.
Started by applying modeling paste with the snowflakes stencil to the canvas.
Added the paint colors with some water to let them blend a little.
To get a more wintery/snowy effect, I dabbed some gesso with a sponge. 

White flowers and twigs cluster.

 Wooden mini stars and some white Splash ink.
Love that you can see the texture of the canvas!


The word magical got a coat of the white Splash ink, perfect to get a good white color.
