Fierce & Free by Elisa Ablett for Paper Rose Studio


Hi everyone, 

My turn to share an inspiration project for Paper Rose Studio today and instead of a card or scrapbooking page I decided to head in a different direction this time, a mixed media art journal spread!

Featuring loads of Paper Rose Studio products including Doodle Flower Stamp Set and the awesome Mandala Stencil to name a few. 

Make sure you head over to the Paper Rose Community page on Facebook to keep up to date with all things Paper Rose Studio. 

Let's take a closer look at the project.




I started with a base of Modelling paste smoothed through the Paper Rose Mandala Stencil. 

Then adding colour with watercolour inks and blending colour through stencils to continue the layering process.

I fussy cut the fabric flower child from the quarter of fabric from Paper Rose Studio, adhered her to the page. 

On heavy weight white cardstock, add ink and acrylic paint to the cardstock and let dry. Then stamp the Doodle Flowers stamp set over the coloured cardstock. Then fussy cut your flowers out and glue around your fabric girl.

Add your finishing touches including stencilling and stamping and splatters of ink.

And your done!

Thanks for stopping by the blog today

Hugs

'Frida' by Elisa Ablett for Ink Art Designs


Hi Stamp lovers,

My turn to share inspiration for Ink Art Designs today with a rainbow mixed media card or you could turn this into an Art Journal page. 

I just adore the versatility of Art by Marlene Stamp Set 41 with the gorgeous flowers and Frida inspired stamp and I decided to dedicate my last two projects just to this one stamp set....

My last project was a scrapbooking page with a soft romantic flowery design using the same stamp set. It just goes to show that you can get your monies worth with different projects with just the one product!


Let's take a look at the products used from the Ink Art Store:-

Shine like the whole universe is yours - Elisa Ablett for Ink Art Designs


Hi everyone, 

My turn to share my latest inspiration for Ink Art Designs, a soft feminine layout featuring Art By Marlene Stamp Set 41 available in store today.

I took inspiration from the colours in the photo and also the soft feminine feel to the page and coloured my stamped images with a soft rose and light green. I also layered using soft pinks and burgundy paper along with vellum. I used ART C watercolour brush markers to colour my stamped images using an archival inkpad.

I also stencilled and hand coloured the vines in the layout, taking inspiration from the garden archway with the vines twirling through them. 




Create movement on your page by angling your embellishments so they look like they are moving in a wave across your page. Place your photos on angles as well but anchor them to the page by using dark frames. These will draw the eye directly to them.


Thanks for stopping by the blog today, make sure you stop by the Ink Art Designs Stamping facebook page to participate in our latest challenge for this month and to be inspired by all the wonderful creations in the group.
