Vintage Truck Card by Elisa Ablett for Paper Rose Studio


Hi everyone, 

My turn to share a project for Paper Rose Studio  today. 

I just had to add the new Vintage Truck 4x4 stamp set to my stash, what a perfect stamp to create those masculine cards for the men in our life. 

I wanted to recreate a rusting patina on the trucks body and frame so I started with a Rusty Hinge background and added Chunky Rust Baked Texture Embossing Powder by Seth Apter. Once I heat embossed the embossing powder, I added small daub of Green Patina Matte Wax by Finnabair using my finger. The texture and colour is amazing and looks authentic.

The card creator acts as a window to my background which is a combination of Distress Inks smooshed onto Photo Paper, this is such a great substrate for bright backgrounds.

Art Journal Page by Elisa Ablett for Ink Art Design Team


Hi everyone,

Elisa here for Ink Art Designs with my latest inspiration for you.

I really adore the Katzelkraft Farm Animal Stamp Set, the expressions of the animals really lend themselves to funny or snarky projects. 

I have created a fun art journal page using the Stamp set along with one of my favourite 'Dad' Jokes about a bunch of rabbits. 

The background is created with bright watercolour inks along with a stencilled background. I tried to keep the colour combo along the lines of Easter colours, such as pink, teal, lime and blue as at the time I had a different joke in mind for the page. 

Add some extra stamping with Visible Image stamps and Art by Marlene Stamps and some torn washi tape to create a bit of visual interest. 

Here are some of the products and links to the shop:-

Make sure you take the time to browse through all the new arrivals in store...

 


That's it from me today, thanks for stopping by the blog.
