Hello, dear friends!
This is Maria Lillepruun with you today, and I am here to present my very first project for Lindy´s Gang! I am so super excited and nervous!
Despite the cold winter outside my window, I want to show you something colorful and flowery. I made a mixed media layout “My Garden” playing on the contrast between the robust, rusty background and intricate and delicate decorations. I used Lindy´s Gang sprays, magicals and embossing powders to create this layout, of course.
Basic Process:
- I primed the patterned paper sheet and applied some regular texture paste through a stencil and some crackle paste here and there.
- Then I colored the background using a mix of Starburst and Flat Fabio sprays, such as Cattail Copper Brown, A Bit o´Bubbly, Pink Ladies Pink and Kissin´ Kenickie Coral.
- Next, I prepared the chipboards by embossing them with different EPs (King Midas Gold, Obviously Black) and coloring with our magicals (Mad Hatter Shimmer Magicals) and sprays.
- I also colored the flowers with the same Lindy’s sprays.
- After that, I assembled the decorative elements on the layout using hot melt glue and finished the whole thing with various toppings.
Some close-ups:

Maria Lillepruun is our second Guest Designer this month! She was inspired by our current mood board and created this lush layout, filled with textures and colors. Meet Mariа Lillepruun!
Thank you so much for the invitation! I am super happy to guest design for the 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.
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 gloss 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.
