A touch of magic. A hint of Alphonse Mucha. Beautiful Paper collection. Paints and art Mediums… what a great inspiration for a collage!
This mixed-media class is filled with surprise and magical vibes. We’re diving into a dreamy, layered composition built on a unique background inspired by the 7 Dots Studio “Cotton Candy Dreams” paper collection.
The palette? Mint, peach, coral… with just enough vintage brown to anchor the softness in my signature grungy touch. At first, these colours felt way out of my comfort zone. But the moment I saw them, I knew I wanted to try. Then the idea to use the circle shape to create the rythm for the whole project… And that, my friends, is where the real magic begins!
The repeated circle motif — in the background, the photo frame, and the embellishments — brings harmony to the whole piece and lets the colour transitions shine. From pink to peach to mint, everything was designed to flow and echo through the layers.
Now, I’d love you to join me on this enchanting journey!
In this class, you’ll learn how to:
create a dynamic, layered background using papers and repeated shapes
build a balanced collage composition using found objects, resin elements, and embellishments — all arranged around a focal photo cameo
explore colour matching and blending using Liquid Acrylic Paints and Art Alchemy Waxes, following a pre-designed palette
add subtle shadows and contrast using vintage tones to bring depth and visual flow
how to use your background pattern as a guide for your layout, balance, and colours
What makes this project special?
The dreamy vibe. The bold colour play. The art-nouveau-inspired details. It’s a mix of modern product and vintage elegance — with lots of space for your own twist.
The class is fully edited for a smooth, easy-to-follow experience. No fluff, no waiting — just clear instructions, helpful tips, and everything you need to create your own version from start to finish.
This class is great for all levels — you don’t need fancy experience, just an open heart and a bit of time to play. And with lifetime access, you can return anytime inspiration calls.

Finnabair
You might know me as Finnabair, but my real name is Anna Dabrowska-Pekocka, and I’m a mixed-media artist, teacher, coach and product designer.
Transforming and upcycling everyday objects is the cornerstone of my craft; to make this “casual magic” possible for everyone, I develop approachable techniques for all skill levels. Between textures and paint, my love for dimensional artwork shaped my distinctive style. Mix in expressive freedom, awakening a creative spark each person holds inside, and therapeutic, releasing powers of art, and you’ll have a picture of my core values.
What had started as a hobby, in 2011 transformed into teaching in-person mixed media classes with immediate success. In 2013, I established a long-term relationship with one of the top craft suppliers worldwide, Prima Marketing; since then, I have counted myself among the most active and best-known product designers in the mixed-media world. The products I come up withstand out thanks to their distinctive style, which is unique to my brand, and blur the line between craft supplies, home décor, and fine art.
After over ten years on the market, I’m one of the most recognizable and experienced professional teachers in my field. My classes are in great demand, and I continuously strive to deliver the best possible experience and quality to my students. Being able to say that I successfully turned my passion into a full-time job is an incredible feeling.
My mission? To continue this magical, artistic journey, and guide, teach and encourage as many creative souls as I can on their path of self-discovery.
Art is always the Answer.
