Double Frame Magic with Wishmal Fairies – ABstudio Inspiration

 Hi All,

There’s something truly magical about creating with fairies - and this double frame featuring the beautiful Wishmal Fairies from ABstudio brought such joy to my creative heart. I combined various gorgeous papers from ABstudio to build this layered piece, letting each texture and pattern tell part of the story.

For the background with the fairy, I played with a stencil and Distress Oxide inks, blending soft shades and layering different media to create a dreamy, whimsical effect. The fairy peeks through the layers like she’s just fluttered into view - delicate, light, and full of wonder.

This project reminds me how art permits us to dream a little - to step into a world of soft colours, tiny wings, and quiet moments where imagination is the guide. I hope this piece brings a little light and inspiration to your day, just as it did to mine while I was creating it.

Thank you for stopping by. 

Sending warmth and fairy dust your way!

Create with Love: A Mixed Media Fairytale

 Hello, dear creatives!

Today, I want to share with you a project straight from my heart—filled with delicate details, soft textures, and a touch of magic. This mixed media layout was inspired by the enchanting Wishmal Fairies from ABstudio, beautifully combined with the rustic charm of the Rustical Time collection.

When I saw these adorable dolls, I knew they deserved a dreamy, whimsical setting. I carefully colored them using Journal Dual Brush Pens, bringing them to life with soft, blended hues. Surrounding them with layered elements, organic shapes, and a textured background, I wanted to capture that feeling of wonder—like stepping into a fairytale world.

The base of my project is a richly textured paper from Rustical Time, which adds depth and a vintage touch. To enhance the composition, I played with contrast, adding splashes of black ink and subtle color accents. The butterflies and leaves create movement, symbolizing creativity taking flight.

Thank you for stopping by! I hope this project brings a little spark of inspiration to your day. Let me know in the comments—what’s your favorite way to add magic to your artwork?

With love,

Natalia

The Beauty Is Inside Us - LO for ABstudio

 Hello, dear creatives!

There’s something truly magical about bringing a vision to life through layers of paper, textures, and little details. This project is a reflection of that magic—a mix of softness and boldness, with dreamy elements that invite you into a whimsical world.

I worked with the Whimsical Fairies collection from ABstudio, pairing it with the romantic Forever Love papers. The combination of delicate vellum leaves, a beautifully intricate white die-cut frame, and soft yet striking colors gave this piece an airy, ethereal touch. The fairies, with their enchanting presence, remind me that true beauty comes from within.

Layers are my favorite way to tell a story. Each butterfly, ink splash, and torn paper edge adds depth and emotion, creating a composition that feels almost alive. I hope this piece speaks to you and inspires you to embrace the magic of creativity.

What does beauty mean to you? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments! ✨

With love,

Journal Cover – A Story Told in Layers

 Hello, my creative friends!

There’s something magical about creating a journal cover—it’s like setting the stage for all the thoughts, ideas, and memories that will soon fill its pages. Today, I want to share with you my latest project, made with the "Around the World" collection from ABstudio.

I love working with layers, textures, and little details that bring depth to a piece. This cover is a mix of vintage travel vibes, warm sepia tones, and a touch of that old-world charm. The distressed edges, stitched accents, and delicate scraps of paper feel like fragments of a story waiting to be told.

The main element is a stylish, confident woman, ready for her next adventure. Behind her, butterfly wings unfold—because aren’t we all transforming and growing as we go through life? I added some small sentiments that speak to my heart:

Just be yourself – because there’s nothing more beautiful than authenticity.

Save the important moments – life is a journey, and every little detail matters.

Creating this cover felt like capturing a fleeting moment in time, like pressing dried flowers between the pages of a travel journal. Do you also love working with projects that tell a story? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Sending you creative energy,

Natalia

Crafting a Little Wonderland – Inspiration with ABstudio

 Hello, crafty friends!

Today, I’m bringing a little bit of magic with a heart-shaped mixed-media project, full of layers, textures, and delicate details. I worked with the In My World papers from ABstudio, which have the perfect dreamy aesthetic for this piece.

I wanted to create a light, airy composition, so I cut out clouds from the paper and gave them extra depth using Distress Oxide. The soft blending effect adds a whimsical touch, making them look almost weightless. The houses tucked among the flowers bring a cozy feel, and to enhance their look, I added Glossy Accents to the rooftops. The same glossy finish appears on the little girl’s dress, making it stand out beautifully.

To complete the scene, I played with different embellishments—florals, butterflies, and a gentle splash of color here and there. The delicate black-and-white background pattern keeps everything balanced while letting the vibrant details shine.

This piece feels like a tiny escape into a peaceful, storybook world. I love how it turned out, and I hope it brings a bit of inspiration your way. Let me know what you think!

Happy crafting!

"Story" – My First Inspiration as a Guest Designer for ABstudio

Hello everyone!  

I’m beyond excited to share my first project as a guest designer for ABstudio! It’s such an honor to work with their stunning products and channel my creativity into something special.

I used the Rustical Time paper collection from ABstudio as the foundation for this piece. The beauty of this particular sheet speaks for itself—it’s so rich and detailed that it hardly needs any additional splatters or mixed media touches. It created the perfect backdrop all on its own.

To bring dimension and character to the design, I layered a selection of die-cuts and a decorative frame made from sturdy cardstock, all from ABstudio’s collection. Each element, from the intricate patterns to the delicate details, adds depth and a storytelling element to the composition.

The quote I chose, “The only impossible journey is the one you never begin” by Tony Robbins, perfectly reflects this project. It’s a reminder that every creative journey starts with a single step—and this one is particularly meaningful to me as a guest designer.

The final touches—featuring layered tags, soft floral accents, and the striking bird centerpiece—create a harmonious blend of textures and details. Together, they bring this story to life in a way that feels organic and true to the materials.

If you’d like to see exactly how I created this piece, head over to my YouTube channel, where I’ve shared a step-by-step tutorial. I hope it inspires you to create something meaningful with AB Studio’s incredible products!

Thank you for joining me on this journey—stay tuned for more creative inspirations to come!

Thank you for stopping by!
