Skogstid by A Whimsical Adventure: Journal Cards

About the Skogstid collection:

"It was in the late hours of an autumn day that the forest seemed to shift. The light had slipped into a muted gold, the path tightened beneath damp leaves, and the trees leaned close as if they were guarding something. A small piece of red cloth hung from a thorn, stirring in the cold air. Nothing else moved, yet the woods felt heavy with a story that had passed through long before and never quite settled."

Skogstid is a collection built around the deeper tones and textures of late autumn forests. It mixes muted greens, warm browns and soft reds with worn bark, scattered leaves, earthier surfaces and the quiet tension that settles in the woods as the season turns colder. The mood leans into folklore elements without becoming literal — small hints, subdued colours and subtle shapes that echo the old stories rather than retelling them. You’ll find gentle nods to Little Red Riding Hood, kept understated so the woodland feel stays intact.

The collection includes dark canopy papers, foraged-style backgrounds, earthy solids, mixed media textures, woodland fragments, stitched details, mushrooms, branches and journal cards. Everything is designed with a grounded, natural atmosphere in mind — rich enough for dramatic pages, soft enough for everyday moments, and flexible across a wide range of autumn and woodland themes. Skogstid works especially well for documenting forest walks and colder days, seasonal journals, moody autumn pages or any project that calls for depth, texture and that quiet, slightly mysterious woodland character.
