Hello everyone. Today I would like to share some of my works that shows how versatile are Maja papers. You can easily use them as for the shabby works, you can apply any mixed media techniques to your works, but you creation still remain delicate and soft.

I took this photo of me and my baby boy, when he was just 2 months, so I needed to express maternity feelings, care and tenderness. However I decided to add some mixed media techniques, as I didn’t want to look it too sweet.

So I took my favorite collection – Crea Diem . I like the mix of mystery and vintage they include, it makes me think on some eternal issues. For my background I used Blomstra-bs sheet and misted it with Lindy’s sprays.

While adding the red colors I had been hesitating a little, but I suppose it strengthen the Mother’s feelings.

Anyway I tried to balance it with the soft and light flowers

I made some fussy cutting of the clock images and small flowers from the Den oersättliga tiden and Känn dig själv sheets and placed them over and there on the background

  • I do not know if it’s just me or if perhaps everyone else encountering problems with your site. It appears as though some of the written text within your posts are running off the screen. Can someone else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them too? This might be a issue with my internet browser because I’ve had this happen previously.
    Thanks
