We are beyond words - Paper Garden Riikka Kovasin 2023-12-07 | A process video showing me create an art journaling spread using Paper Garden printables and a mix of mediums.I start by attaching pieces of printables to my journal and then add a layer of clear gesso on top. After the gesso has dried I then add some brown, tea colored ink on top with a wet brush. I also add some "tea cup rings" using the bottom of a spray bottle as well as some splashes. After drying I then add some stamping and stenciling to the background. Next I start the actual composition using different printables. I ink the edges of those and then cluster them together using a stapler to attach the layers. I then mount the clusters to my journal using foam tape. I finish the layout with some alphabet stickers and small cut out elements.Thank you for watching!

Holiday Cheer - a set of cards Riikka Kovasin 2023-11-30 | A process video showing me create a set of Holiday cards using stamping, masking and gel printing. I start by cutting some card bases for the cards. I then create masks using the stamps I also use as focal points. I stamp the images also to my center pieces. I cut the masks loose and add them to guard the stamped images and then use small gel printing plates to add a colorful background to each image. I'm using a color palette of classical Christmas colors - red, white and green. After printing I then color the images using inks and a wet brush, some oil-based colored pencils and also paint markers. I finish the cards with some sentiment strips and epoxy dot stickers. After filming I also decided to add some black splashes to the cards to match the black sentiment strip and stamp ink.Thank you for watching!

Festive season is knocking - a FB recording Riikka Kovasin 2023-11-26 | A recording of a Facebook live kept at my blog's FB page on November 17th. The topic was to make a little festive door with a wreath and self-made snowpaste.During the live I made a little door using cardboard and corrugated cardboard. I painted the door with a chocolaty brown and then added some frost on top using an Oxide ink. I colored the little paper doll using watercolor pens and added metallic touches to some of the embellishments using waxes. To make the snow paste I mixed heavy gesso with pearls in two grain sizes. I finished the piece with a torn cardstock piece to add some snow to the bottom of the make.

Little vintage skier - Paper Garden Riikka Kovasin 2023-11-23 | A process video showing me create a pair of Holiday cards with Paper Garden supplies. I start by cutting some card bases and layers upon it. I then start making some mixed media touches to the background using inking, stamping and stenciling. After the crackle paste I used has dried I then start making the composition on top. I use a little tags as the main element and make the cluster fuller using cut out elements from Paper Garden printables. The focal point I place on top is cut from a birthday invitation I have received several copies of. I ink the edges of the elements. I finish the cards with some white acrylic paint splashes and some old buttons.Thank you for watching!

White Xmas - a FB live recording Riikka Kovasin 2023-11-19 | A recording of a Facebook live kept at my blog's FB page on November 10th. The topic was to make a Holiday easel card with dies. The live was kept mainly on my native tongue, Finnish.During the live I made a card with a little space to put a tea light behind the front. As the front has a vellum window, the card then lights up. I started by making the pieces for the card and then cut the window to the front and added a vellum piece behind. I inked the edges of the window first. I also used the inks to add some color to the die cut trees first with splashes and then by inking the edges. I used foam tape to attach the layers together and finished the card with a little bundle of leaves to hold the easel in place when opened.More photos of the sample piece as well as a materials list with links in the announcement post: (paperiliitin.blogspot.com/2023/11/white-xmas-fb-live-announcement.html).

Its beginning to look a lot like Xmas - a set of ornaments Riikka Kovasin 2023-11-02 | A process video showing me create a triplet of Holiday decorations using wooden bases, inks and crackle medium. Before filming I treated the frames of the bases with white crackle medium so they had time to dry and crackle. I then start the process by highlighting the cracks with some ink. I then collage a piece of patterned paper to the centers, stamp some pine cones and color them. After cutting those loose I then add an inked layer to the background and start making the composition. I use a heavy body gel medium as my adhesive. I make the clusters using the stamped element, vintage photo, a resin candle, faux plant and a piece of corrugated cardboard. I finish the pieces with some rhinestone half pearls and sentiment stickers.Thank you for watching!

Quilting drama - an art journal spread Riikka Kovasin 2023-10-26 | A process video showing me create an art journal spread for a small spiral bound journal. I'm mainly using acrylic paints, stamps and paint markers in this make. I start by adding some acrylic paints on top of a piece of cardstock randomly. I use three colors and partly let them mix to have even more colors that way. I use the same colors also to color the stamped portrait of a lady and then stamp another layer on top. This is my favorite way of coloring - I can boldly go over the lines! I use stamps also to add a pattern to the background, which I then go over with a paint marker and add a grit design also to mimic a quilt. I add some stitch lines with the marker, too. Next I cut the stamped image loose and add more paint marker doodles to the background. I finish the spread by attaching the pages to the journal, mounting the lady with a piece of patterned paper added to the page and a journaling made using text stickers. Thank you for watching!

Winter birds - Paper Garden Riikka Kovasin 2023-10-19 | A process video showing me create a pair of winter cards using Paper Garden supplies.I start by cutting elements out of A4 sheets. Some of those I use as layering elements, but I also cut the focal points and the bases. Several of the sheets I'm using are from older Paper Garden kits, but there's some recent printables, too. I then add some snowy touches to the backgrounds by using white embossing powder with two stamps. I add some blue ink on top like watercolor. I then layer the cut elements using a stapler to attach the layers together and then mount the focal point on top using foam tape. I finish the cards with a little sentiment sticker, wax seal added on top of a sticker and some white splashes.Thank you for watching!

Autumn feels - FB live recording Riikka Kovasin 2023-10-16 | A recording of a Facebook live kept at my blog's FB page on October 14th. The topic was to make a little mixed media project with an autumn vibe.During the live I made a little assemblage using gesso in a couple of ways. I start the project by using gesso as an adhesive and primer. I then use it also to make texture and while the thicker layer dries, turn my attention to embellishments. I use gesso to turn the transparent embellishment to better fitting to the busy background, prime some chipboard shapes and also add texture to them in another way. I use watercolors to add color to the background and some of the embellishments. I make a printable sturdier by mounting it to a piece of cardstock and add texture to make a ground yet in another way using gesso. When I have the elements done, I then put everything together using foam tape and craft glue to adhere everything in place. While I craft, I refer to this earlier video: youtu.be/Dp9EeceG1e8 .More photos of the sample piece as well as a materials list with links in the announcement post: (paperiliitin.blogspot.com/2023/10/autumn-feels-facebook-live-annoucement.html).

Toadstools and peonies - A.B.Studio Riikka Kovasin 2023-10-12 | A process video showing me create an assemblage for A.B.Studio. I use a chipboard frame as my base. I'm adding a piece of patterned paper inside the frame and building the composition on top later on. I make some stamped elements for layering - a couple of toadstools and a bunch of leaves. I use embossing powder to cover those and watercolors to color. I color the frame of the piece with acrylics, add crackle paste on top and when it's dry, add another color on top highlighting the texture and grooves. I use heavy body gel medium to build the base for the composition and then use regular craft glue together with foam tape to make a dimensional composition on top. I finish the piece with some real nuts.Thank you for watching!Materials from A.B.Studio:Love for old things - Old moment 12x12In love with you - die cuts ephemera ID-55Mixmedia thick cardboard background ID-62Mixmedia thick cardboard ID-276Rubber stamp ID-227Rubber stamp ID-893Rubber stamp ID-125Stencil ID-223Other: Fabriano - Accademia cardstock 160gPaperArtsy - Fresco Finish acrylic paint Little Black Dress, Mud splatRanger - Distress collage medium, crackle pasteRanger - Distress paint Tarnished BrassRanger - Distress Ink Vintage Photo, Crushed OliveRager - Distress embossing glaze Crackling campfire, Lumberjack Plaid, Bundled SageRanger - Embossing powder whiteTsukineko - VersaMark ink padPrima Marketing - Watercolor Confetti setPrima Marketing - Heavy body gelPrima Marketing - Rust effect paste Green greyold lace, nutsinking tool, scissors, palette knife, brushcraft glue, foam tapeFollow me: Instagram: instagram.com/paperiliitinBlog: http://paperiliitin.blogspot.com Facebook: facebook.com/Paperiliitin#mixedmedia #riikkakovasin #layering #mixedmediaart #processvideo
...we thought she was lost - a small assemblage Riikka Kovasin 2023-10-05 | A process video showing me create a small accordion styled piece for Halloween. I start by covering sturdy pieces of cardboard using patterned cardstock. I adhere the pieces in place using double sided tape and then ink the edges. I also treat some chipboard windows with embossing powder and ink those. I attach the three cardboard pieces together using fabric tape, creating little hinges to fold the assemblage accordion style. I add some stenciled pattern to the background as well as splashes and rings. I then mount the windows in place, add some black splashes and also a cut piece from a bigger Halloween styled die cut. I use two paper dolls as my focal points and decorate the center segment with some die cut roses. I finish the assemblage with a couple of metal embellishments, text stickers and a resin candle.Thank you for watching!Materials:pieces of thick cardstockTim Holtz Idea-ology - Backdrops Volume 4 #TH94308Ranger - Distress Ink Vintage Photo, Rusty HingeRanger - Distress embossing powder Black SootA.B.Studio - Mixmedia thick cardboard ID-307Stampers Anonymous - Tim Holtz layering stencil Brush Arch #THS168Tim Holtz Idea-ology - Halloween 2023 Layers+Paperdolls #TH94333PaperArtsy - Fresco Finish acrylic paint Little Black DressSizzix - Thinlits die set Moonlight 666386Prima Marketing - Finnabair Mechanicals Woodland Leaves, Mini HardwareTim Holtz Idea-ology - Drippy Candles #TH94260Tim Holtz Idea-ology - Halloween 2023 sticker book #TH94335fabric tape, sewing threadpaper cutter, scissors, inking tool, brushdoubles sided tape, foam tape, craft glueFollow me: Instagram: instagram.com/paperiliitinBlog: http://paperiliitin.blogspot.com Facebook: facebook.com/Paperiliitin#mixedmedia #riikkakovasin #layering #mixedmediaart #processvideo
The secret of the moon - a mixed media canvas Riikka Kovasin 2023-09-28 | A process video showing me create a mixed media canvas I titled "The secret of the moon".I'm using the canvas in reverse as then I get an instant frame. I start by adding some texture to the canvas center using stencils and modeling paste. I treat the frame part using crackle paste and then start the composition in the middle. I use heavy body gel medium as my adhesive and make a composition using wooden, metallic and moulded elements. I then let the project dry before adding colorants. I paint the frame using liquid acrylics and add a layer of black gesso to the middle as the first layer. I then add blue paints on top, turning the middle part into an inky night. Next I paint the focal points white and add a glistening glaze on top. I also add some dry brushing to the background to make it look like the elements would have a glow. I finish the piece with some metallic flakes and pearls.Thank you for watching!

Suomi Finland - a FB live recording Riikka Kovasin 2023-09-24 | A recording of a Facebook live kept at my blog's FB page on September 22nd in my mother tongue, Finnish. The topic was to make a couple of ATCs using gel printing, inks and die cuts.During the live I made a pair of ATCs. I started them using gel printing and brayered two colors one by one on the plate and pushed the card bases to the paint. I also added some acrylic paint splashes to them. I then made some self made "washi" by using double sided adhesive sheet, white tissue paper and stamping. I later colored the piece using inks and then cut it to strips. I inked the edges of the bases, adding a touch of vintage that way. I also stamped some text running around the edges by using a piece of scrap paper as a mask. I then put the slide frames together with a vintage photo. I also used the brown ink to tone down the ready, very colorful die cut flowers and attached them to the bases using a stapler. I added the slides on top using foam tape and finished the cards with some text stickers, stamped sentiments and old buttons.More photos of the sample piece as well as a materials list with links in the announcement post: (paperiliitin.blogspot.com/2023/09/suomi-finland-fb-live-announcement.html).

The wonderful lady of the post office - A.B.Studio Riikka Kovasin 2023-09-14 | A process video showing me create an art journaling spread for A.B.Studio. I'm mixing different collections in my make.I started before filming by cutting several elements loose from the 12x12 sheets. I also chose the background piece and then cut it smaller to fit inside my journal. I tape the two pages together so the background continues seamlessly over the binding. I add some paint to the background and the two paper layers running from edge to edge. After that I mount the backgrounds to my journal and make the composition on top to both of the bases.

The topic was to make a little mixed media easel card with a Halloween vibe. During the live I made a Halloween inspired card using inks, paints and dies. I started by making the night-like background using masking and inks. On top I then added some stamping, then texture with a crumbled piece of tissue paper and then pearly shine. On top I then made the darker bits of the moon using acrylic paint and a die cut stencil. I finished the card with some stringed bats, a big vintage die cut photo and some typed sentiments.More photos of the sample piece as well as a materials list with links in the announcement post: (paperiliitin.blogspot.com/2023/09/bats-outing-fb-live-announcement.html).

Life is a grand adventure - a pair of cards Riikka Kovasin 2023-09-07 | A process video showing me create a pair of cards. I'm playing with a Fabrika Decoru collection, which has the same print in black and white background. I start by cutting a big floral out of the patterned papers and also the background pieces from black and white background motif. I then paint one chipboard frame black and other white - following the theme of doing the cards the same way, just with a different color scheme. I then add the frame and the floral piece in place. I then take a little detour of stamping a bird and mounting it on top of the card only to remove it in next stage. I wanted to show that bit, too, that sometimes the process isn't a straight line.

Christmas story in July - Paper Garden Riikka Kovasin 2023-07-27 | A process video showing me taking a headstart to Holiday card season. I'm using Paper Garden supplies in these.I start the cards by mounting a pink printable on top of cardstock to make it sturdier. This sets the color scheme of the cards and I go for a gingerbread glazing, candy colored look. I then use a red ink a couple of ways - first to stamp with, then with a stencil and then to color modeling paste to pink. I make the focal clusters using some labels and tickets together with beautiful angel pictures. I attach the cluster layers with a stapler. To make the composition fuller, I add some rolls made out of vintage paper underneath the cluster. I then embellish the cards with printed, cut out florals, a tiny tag and a sentiment sticker. As a finishing touch I add the cards on top of pink cardbases and soften the look with some twine.Thank you for watching!Materials from PaperGarden: Digital Christmas Dream journaling kitDigital Vintage Romance journaling kitChristmas Roses sticker setClassiky Folded Memo Card redGerman Lexicon paper bundleSweet Christmas Holly cut and paste sticker sheetFollow me: Instagram: instagram.com/paperiliitinBlog: http://paperiliitin.blogspot.com Facebook: facebook.com/Paperiliitin#mixedmedia #riikkakovasin #layering #mixedmediaart #processvideo
Angel of a guiden silver star - FB live recording Riikka Kovasin 2023-07-23 | A recording of a Facebook live kept at my blog's FB page on July 15th. The topic was to make a little mixed media decoration using wooden bases, gel printed tissue paper and golden details.During the live I made two little angel or fairy decorations. I started by collaging a sheet of gel printed tissue paper on top of a wooden shape. While the collage medium was still a bit wet, I added some gold leaf on top and dried the project. I then made a dimensional sparkly layer on top using a stencil and glitter paste. To turn the shape to a little figure, I used a cut out vintage photo, some old lace and buttons. To finish the decorations I added some beads to dangle at the bottom and also a little text using text stickers.More photos of the sample piece as well as a materials list with links in the announcement post: (paperiliitin.blogspot.com/2023/07/angel-of-guiding-silver-star-fb-live.html).

irRESISTible blooms - a couple of cards Riikka Kovasin 2023-07-20 | A process video showing me create a trio of mixed media cards using two resist techniques - embossing powder resist and crayon resist. I start with white on white elements - creating the focal points and two pieces of paper for background elements. I use stamping and embossing powder for the blooms and an oil pastel for the background pieces. I color each element using the same Distress Inks. I cut the background pieces with circle dies and sew their edge with black thread using a sewing machine. I then add the circles to the cards using double sided tape and the blooms using foam tape. I finish the cards with black splashes.Thank you for watching!

Beauty in chaos - a FB live recording Riikka Kovasin 2023-07-19 | A recording of a Facebook live kept at my blog's FB page on July 14th in my mother tongue, Finnish. The topic was to make an art journal spread with gesso, old book paper and vintage photo die cut.During the live I made an art journal spread the way I usually go about it. I started with a white piece of cardstock and collaged some old book paper on top using white gesso as my adhesive. On top I then layered acrylic paint and watercolors, both through a stencil. Before cutting the page to size I also added some stamping and doodling. The layers on top I made using product packaging, some cloth and self made patterned paper strips using the left overs from trimming the sheet. I finished the page with old buttons, paperclips and a stamped text.More photos of the sample piece as well as a materials list with links in the announcement post: (paperiliitin.blogspot.com/2023/07/beauty-in-chaos-fb-live-announcement.html).

The Gramofonos - A.B.Studio Riikka Kovasin 2023-07-13 | A process video showing me create an art journal spread for A.B.Studio. I'm mixing different collections but drawing inspiration from the "Collected Moments".I start by cutting two pieces of cardstock fitting inside my journal. I attach them together with some masking tape and also use the tape to add some texture to the page. I then make a layer on top using crackle paste and a stencil. While the layer dries, I then prepare other elements for the page like the layers coming behind the focal point and some elements. I use watercolor pencils to color a black and white butterfly and embossing powders to color chipboard pieces. I use the same watercolor pencils to add colors to the background, too. I cut the background pieces loose and mount them to my journal. I then mount the focal cluster on top, trim the design to fit the two pages and finish the spread with some buttons and text sticker strips.

Finding another world - mixed media bookmarks Riikka Kovasin 2023-07-06 | A process video showing me create a bunch of mixed media bookmarks using gel printed tissue paper, wooden bases and doodling. I start by creating a pile of gel printed tissue paper. I only use one sheet for these but I then can use the tissues to other projects. I use a gel printing plate with some stencils and acrylic paints while creating those. When I then have the stack of papers done, I start to collage them to the wooden bases. I add some stamping underneath and top of the collage layer. I add a title or a thought to each mark using word stickers and then add more details to them using paint markers. As a finishing touch I punch a whole to the end of the stick, thread a length of embroidery thread through and fray to end to a tassel. Thank you for watching!

Sugar and spice and everything nice - A.B.Studio Riikka Kovasin 2023-06-29 | A process video showing me create a pair of cards for A.B.Studio. I'm using the "Spring Lady" collection.I start by choosing the papers for my card. I then choose the order of the two solid cardstock pieces and then cut each piece to right size. I layer the mid parts together and attach using double sided tape. I then turn my attention to the embellishments. I make some using embossing powder and stamps and also treat some chipboard pieces with crackle paste. I also cut elements loose from the 12x12 to be used as embellishments. Before making the composition I add some mixed media touches to the background using two stencils. I then layer the elements on top and finish the cards with a word strip and by mounting the cards to their bases.

Use what you got - a set of cards Riikka Kovasin 2023-06-15 | A process video showing me create a trio of cards using some random embellishments from my drawer for random bits. The idea is to use those stored items, put the hoarded things in use.I start by creating backgrounds for my cards. I use embossed pieces of black cardstock as the base, each piece embossed using a different folder. On top I paint some weathered copper tones of blues and greens and then add a metallic layer on top. I wipe some of the paint of to get a worn look. I then cut the center pieces a bit smaller and mount them on top of black cardstock to frame them. Then starts the most time consuming bit, but I've sped the video up so it doesn't take minutes and minutes. I first choose items that fit the colors and style of the pieces and then start going through the selection, picking items for each card. Unlike some of my edited videos, here you can see the whole composition process. I'm working with the three cards simultaneously. After the compositions are done, I then ink the edges of the elements, adhere them to the cardbases and finish the pieces with some stickers and metal embellishments.Thank you for watching!Materials for the backgrounds:Sizzix - Textured Fades embossing folder Typewriter (664760), Damask (665733), Industrious (665754)PaperArtsy - Fresco Finish acrylic paint Toad Hall, Deep Sea, Magic MossRanger - Distress Paint Tarnished Brassblack cardstockOther: gifted ephemera, bits from A.B.Studio papers, die cuts using Sizzix dies, 7 Dots Studio die cuts, Finnabair metal embellishmentsRanger - Distress Ink Vintage Photoblack cardstockcraft cardstockFollow me: Instagram: instagram.com/paperiliitinBlog: http://paperiliitin.blogspot.com Facebook: facebook.com/Paperiliitin#mixedmedia #riikkakovasin #layering #mixedmediaart #processvideo
My Heart Smiles - a FB live recording Riikka Kovasin 2023-06-13 | A recording of a Facebook live kept at my blog's FB page on June 10th. The topic was to make a sweet floral and butterfly card using watercolor pencils.During the live I made a quick card using watercolor pencils, a butterfly stamp and some patterned papers. I had prepared the background pieces before the live as I chose to sew two layers together. I then added some inky touches to both the background and some flowers I had cut loose from a patterned paper. I also added a bit of dimensional pattern to the background using a stencil and modeling paste. I then used watercolor pencils and a crayon to color the blooms and then used the same pencils to stamp a butterfly. I layered everything together on top of a strip of vellum and added some lace, stamen and stickers to finish the card.More photos of the sample piece as well as a materials list with links in the announcement post: (paperiliitin.blogspot.com/2023/06/my-heart-smiles-fb-live-announcement.html).

Three Muses - a trio of mixed media assemblages Riikka Kovasin 2023-06-08 | A process video showing me create a trio of mini mixed media assemblages. I'm using hot glue moulded embellishments together with chipboard shapes and paper flowers. I start the pieces by making a dimensional pattern to the background using modeling paste and a stencil. Without letting the paste dry I then continue with the composition. I use a lady's face and some leaves in each, these done using a silicone mould and hot glue and top the design with some chipboard pieces and lace. I then let the pieces air dry for a while before adding a layer of black gesso on top. After that I add paint touches to turn the solid black into weathered copper or other metal. I first paint the piece sort of dry brushing with a metallic paint and then add blues and greens on top to make the surface look weathered. I then add the paper flowers in, add some painty touches to them, too, and finish the discs, or coins, by mounting them on top of wooden blocks.Thank you for watching!Materials:Prima Marketing - Art Basics Modeling PastePrima Marketing - Finnabair stencil GothicPrima Marketing - Art Basics Heavy Body GelPrima Marketing - Finnabair mould Queens of Steam, Vintage PortraitsPrima Marketing - Art Basics Heavy Gesso BlackRanger - Distress Paint Tarnished BrassPaperArtsy - Fresco Finish acrylic paint Deep Sea, Pine Grove, Hint of Mintmdf discschipboard scissors, lace, paper flowerswooden canvas basesFollow me: Instagram: instagram.com/paperiliitinBlog: http://paperiliitin.blogspot.com Facebook: facebook.com/Paperiliitin#mixedmedia #riikkakovasin #layering #mixedmediaart #processvideo
Wings of Magic - Paper Garden Riikka Kovasin 2023-06-01 | A process video showing me create a set of ATCs using Paper Garden supplies. I start the ATC set by collaging some old postage stamps on top of chipboard ATC bases. I use old Finnish green stamps and mat gel medium as my adhesive. While the bases dried I stamped some butterflies to be used as the focal points. I also cut some elements out of Paper Garden printable and some vellum stickers. I add a layer of white gesso on top of the collaged background to dull the contrast a little and then add stamping and ink on top. I also ink the edges of the elements. I layer the bits together and also add some twine into the composition. I finish the cards with tiny labels with a vellum word sticker on top.Thank you for watching!Materials from Paper Garden:Sweet Nothings 2 stamp setCuriouser and curiouser 1 cut and paste stickersa sheet from old Paper Garden kitGarden poetry clipping cut and paste stickersVintage postage stampsOther:Ranger - Distress Collage medium matRanger - Archival Ink Black SootRanger - Distress ink Crushed OlivePrima Marketing - Art Basics Heavy Gesso WhiteA.B.Studio - ATC chipboard basesPrima Marketing - Watercolor Confetti setbaker's twineFollow me: Instagram: instagram.com/paperiliitinBlog: http://paperiliitin.blogspot.com Facebook: facebook.com/Paperiliitin#mixedmedia #riikkakovasin #layering #mixedmediaart #processvideo
Nothing is impossible - FB live recording Riikka Kovasin 2023-05-30 | A recording of a Facebook live kept at my blog's FB page on May 27th. The topic was to make an art journal spread using inks and stamps.During the live I made an art journal spread. I had made the background scripts before hand and first cut them to fit inside the journal. I did need to add some text, though. I added some blue stamping on top, inspired by the ballpoint pen used in the script. I then used black ink to stamp a butterfly, some details to background and a sentiment tag. I color the butterfly using inks and pattern a tag with them. I also add some stamping to tea bags and with those I have the elements done. I then layer everything together. I also color the sentiment using watercolor pencils. I finish the page with some epoxy stickers and journaling strips.More photos of the sample piece as well as a materials list with links in the announcement post: (paperiliitin.blogspot.com/2023/05/nothing-is-impossible-fb-live.html).

The heartbeat of the soul - A.B.Studio Riikka Kovasin 2023-05-25 | A process video showing me create a set of cards for A.B.Studio. I'm using the same elements but slightly tweak the design so while the cards are a set, they are still unique. I start by adding some ink to a white background. On top I then add some splashes, stamping and drawing. I also use another stencil to add a raised pattern to the background. I use embossing powders to color some chipboard gears and then make small clusters using patterned papers and an eyelet. The focal points are cut from a 12x12 sheet. I finish the cards with a sentiment and a small metal embellishment.Thank you for watching!Materials from A.B.Studio:Rustical time 6x6 padRustical time die cut ephemeraRustical time - Love love love 12x12Stencil ID-223Rubber stamp ID-1384Stencil ID-61Chipboard ID-73Other:Ranger - Archival Ink Jet BlackRanger - Distress Ink Chipped sapphire, Vintage photo, Hickory smokeRanger - Distress embossing glace Vintage photoRanger - Distress powder Pumice stoneRanger - Gold embossing powderPosca - PC-1M black markerheavy gesso blackcircle templateeyeletsFollow me: Instagram: instagram.com/paperiliitinBlog: http://paperiliitin.blogspot.com Facebook: facebook.com/Paperiliitin#mixedmedia #riikkakovasin #layering #mixedmediaart #processvideo
Transparent ATCs - a FB live recording Riikka Kovasin 2023-05-24 | A recording of a Facebook live kept at my blog's FB page on May 20th. The topic of the live was making a set of ATCs using acetate. The live was kept in my native tongue, Finnish.During the live show I made three ATCs. I started by adding some alcohol colors to the transparency as the bottom layer. I also used alcohol inks to color some die cut bottles. I then added embossing to the backgrounds. I used embossing powders also to color another bottle shape. I used grungy powder on it as well as normal powder and thus I got this grungy, worn look when I added acrylic paint on top. As the last elements I made some stamped details for the cards - a background piece and also a fabric label sticker.

Migratory birds - a set of ATCs Riikka Kovasin 2023-05-18 | A process video showing me create a set of ATCs using mixed media and Sizzix dies. I start by collaging some die cuts on top of chipboard bases and then layer some stamping on top. I'm aiming for a black and white background with colorful bird on top. For the bird I add some oil pastels on top of an embossed background and then cut the bird shapes out with a die. I make the composition using yet another die cut shape, a swirl, with the bird and some word stickers. I finish the cards with some ink and acrylic splashes.Thank you for watching!Materials: A.B.Studio - ATC chipboard basesPaperArtsy- Fresco Finish acrylic paint Snowflake, Midnight, ChinaPaperArtsy - TS065 stamp setPaperArtsy - MN23 rubber stampRanger - Distress collage mediumRanger - Archival Ink Jet BlackRanger - embossing powder goldRanger - Distress Ink Wild HoneySizzix - Thinlits die set Media Marks 664436Sizzix - Texture Fades embossing folder WovenSizzix - Thinlits die set Silhouette Birds 665861 Sizzix - Thinlits die set Adorned 664176 Tim Holtz Idea-ology - Chitchat sticker book (TH92998)Wennström - Oil pastelsTsukineko - VersaMark ink padblack cardstockFollow me: Instagram: instagram.com/paperiliitinBlog: http://paperiliitin.blogspot.com Facebook: facebook.com/Paperiliitin#mixedmedia #riikkakovasin #layering #mixedmediaart #processvideo
She wears stars in her hair - Paper Garden Riikka Kovasin 2023-05-11 | A process video showing me create an art journal page using supplies from Paper Garden, a Finnish paper shop with signature products.I start by creating a background for the page using a piece of white cardstock and some leftovers from Cricut cut embellishments.

Sunshine and robins nest - a pair of cards Riikka Kovasin 2023-05-04 | A process video showing me create a couple of vintage styled cards using die cuts, dies and inks. I started these cards by cutting some elements ready using dies. I cut some labels and flowers out of white cardstock and wreaths out of kraft cardstock. In the video I first choose a background paper for both of the cards and then choose die cuts to go with the color scheme. Next I ink the die cut elements, add some visual interest and texture to the backgrounds and then put everything together. I layer elements on top of each other, make a fun visual cluster. I finish the cards with some buttons and a stamped sentiment.Thank you for watching!Materials used: Tim Holtz Idea-ology: Backdrops volume 5 (TH94309)Tim Holtz Idea-ology: Layers organic (TH94316)Sizzix: Thinlits die set Wildflower Stems #1 (664163)Sizzix: Thinlits die set Funky Wreath (664434)Sizzix: Thinlits die set Vintage Labels (665929)Prima Marketing: Finnabair Art Basics Modeling pastePrima Marketing: Finnabair stencil GothicRanger: Distress Oxide ink pad Peeled paintRanger: Distress ink Vintage photo, Uncharted mariner, Speckled egg, Wild honey, Mustard seedRanger: Archival ink Jet BlackLawn Fawn: Hang in there stamp setwhite cardstockkraft cardstockFollow me: Instagram: instagram.com/paperiliitinBlog: http://paperiliitin.blogspot.com Facebook: facebook.com/Paperiliitin#mixedmedia #riikkakovasin #layering #mixedmediaart #processvideo
Use your wings - A.B.Studio Riikka Kovasin 2023-04-27 | A step by step styled process video showing me create a mixed media reversed canvas for A.B.Studio. I named the canvas "Use your wings". I start by adding a piece of patterned kraft paper to the center of the canvas and coloring the frame using acrylics. I then collage torn pieces of pattern paper on top of the frame. To add some dimension, I use modeling paste through a stencil. I then add a bit more touches of color and start layering elements for the focal point. I use elements of different collections cut out from the 12x12 sheets. I finish the canvas with some pieces of old lace, rhinestone stickers and brown splashes, echoing that first layer I did for this project.Thank you for watching!Materials from A.B.Studio:Nothing but you collection packKrafted newspaper bundle 1Layouts bundle 1Stencil ID 223Other:Ranger Distress collage mediumPrima Marketing Modeling pastePaperArtsy Fresco Finish acrylic paint Summer sky, Double denim, SnowflakeTim Holtz idea-ology Transparent thingsTim Holtz idea-ology Metal word plaquesPrima Marketing paper flowersRanger Distress Ink Vintage Photoold lacerhinestone stickersFollow me: Instagram: instagram.com/paperiliitinBlog: http://paperiliitin.blogspot.com Facebook: facebook.com/Paperiliitin#mixedmedia #riikkakovasin #layering #mixedmediaart #processvideo
Love found it wonderful - Paper Garden Riikka Kovasin 2023-04-20 | A process video showing how I created an art journal spread using Paper Garden supplies.I start with a printable sheet. I normally mount the printables on top of something sturdier, but as I was going to add these pieces to my journal, I worked on top of the printed paper. This then guided my choices with the mediums, for example. I add some stamping and collaging on top together with a dash of acrylic paint. On top of the flat collage made out of vintage labels and ephemera, I then make two more dimensional compositions using some labels and two elements from Tim Holtz idea-ology collection. The right page gets a big butterfly, the left one a vintage photo of a girl. I finish the spread with some Paper Garden stckers, touches of ink and sentiment stickers.

Smartest of names - FB live recording Riikka Kovasin 2023-04-16 | A recording of a Facebook live kept at my blog's FB page on April 15th. The topic of the live was making some altered playing cards.During the live show I made a triplet of playing cards. I started by adding a layer of clear gesso to each. On top I then added some acrylic paint and remove paint through a stencil. After drying I then add water soluble crayons on top. I use the crayons also to make some stamped details to the cards and use frottage to make a piece of patterned paper using a stencil another way. After getting all the elements done I then put the cards together. I add a couple of details to the background, punch decorative holes to them and then layer everything together.

Peace on Earth - a set of cards Riikka Kovasin 2023-04-13 | A step by step styled process video showing me create a set of cards using beautiful, stylished flower die cuts from Fabrika Decoru called "Inspired by Ukraine". I start by layering some Oxides and acrylic paint on top of a black cardstock. After drying I then cut the 12x12 sheet smaller and attach the pieces underneath these kraft colored stencil style pieces by sewing. On top of this background I then layer some white cotton tape, washi tapes and acrylic paint. These act as a little backdrop for the blooms coming on top. I adhere a smaller flower with craft glue but use foam tape for a bigger one to get a layered effect. I finish the cards with a sentiment sticker.Thank you for watching!Materials: Fabrika Decoru - Inspired by Ukraine die cutsTim Holtz Idea-ology - Stencil cardsRanger - Distress Oxide Uncharted Mariner, Abandoned Coral, Fossilized AmberPaperArtsy - Fresco Finish acrylic paint Summer Sky, London Buss, Butterwashi tapewhite cotton tapeblack and white cardstockFollow me: Instagram: instagram.com/paperiliitinBlog: http://paperiliitin.blogspot.com Facebook: facebook.com/Paperiliitin#mixedmedia #riikkakovasin #layering #mixedmediaart #processvideo
Porte de Versailles - a mixed media piece Riikka Kovasin 2023-03-30 | A process video showing me create a mixed media piece using A.B.Studio chipboard piece as my base. I'm starting by assembling a door using A.B.Studio chipboard. I then paint it white for two reasons - to seal the surface and to turn it one solid color. After drying I then collage some rice paper bits on top following the structure. On top I then add some stenciled modeling paste and then a big dimensional cluster using chipboard pieces and paper flowers. I then add more color to the project using watercolors and acrylics and finish the piece with some crystal stickers.Thank you for watching!

Where all the good things grow - a FB live recording Riikka Kovasin 2023-03-27 | A recording of a Facebook live kept at my blog's FB page on March 25th. The topic of the live was making an art journal page using paint markers, acrylic paints and a Lynne Perrella stamp. During the live show I did an art journal page. I started the page by brayering some acrylic paint to the background. This is a technique I picked up from Iris Fritschi-Cussens's Creative JumpStart video and it blew my mind. I then layer some stenciling and scribbles on top before moving the piece of paper to my stamping tool. I first stamp a sketch of the character, add coloring and then stamp her again. I then mount the project to my art journal. I add some doodling here and there, share a couple of paint marker techniques and then finish the page with splashes and a sticker.More photos of the sample piece as well as a materials list with links in the announcement post: (http://paperiliitin.blogspot.com/2023/03/where-all-good-things-grow-fb-live.html).

Been there, done that - an art journal spread Riikka Kovasin 2023-03-23 | A process video showing me create an art journal spread using left-over bits and stuff already on my craft table.I often find inspiration from the little bits on my table. This time I thought to turn that into a video. I'm starting by collaging some cut-offs from previous projects to a fresh cut piece of cardstock. I'm using matte collage medium to adhere the bits. I then combine the pieces with some acrylic paint and splashes. After moving the collages to my art journal, I continue patterning the background using stamps and then paint marker doodles. The focal clusters follow the same thing, I'm using bits left over from other, previous projects.

Blue at Heart - A.B.Studio Riikka Kovasin 2023-03-16 | A process video showing me create and decorate a couple of chipboard decorations. I'm using A.B.Studio products in the video. I start by cutting some hearts out of patterned paper and adhering them on top of ready chipboard shapes. I first paint the edges of the chipboard white with white gesso. On top I add some stamping and then stenciling, building the project layer by layer. After I have the background done, I then make a cluster on top, building it also layer by layer. I start with some corrugated cardboard, then some patterned paper, chipboard blooms and paper flowers to top the cluster. I also add some twine in to soften the look. I then finish the project with some watercolor and gesso touches.
