Merry Christmas by Elisa Ablett

Hi all,

My turn to share a project for Ink Art Designs today and as it's still Christmas in July over at Ink Art Designs, you can see I went with another Christmas design along with a far bit of snark !

I started this art journal page with a pastel watercolor wash in the background along with a white crackle paste stenciled bubble design.

I have been working in my small 5x7 Dylusions Art Journal and I have been converted to using washi tape to tape around the edges to create a border for my design. Just looks a whole lot neater !

The main stamped image is from Lost Coast Designs Stamp Company and you can find their stamps on the Ink Art Website. I just love this 50s girl, so versatile and looks fabulous on any stamped project.

Let's take a closer look :-)

Add some die cut circles as Christmas baubles and a great snarky quote!

Merry Freaking Christmas by Elisa Ablett

Christmas in July !!

🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅

Hi everyone,

My turn to share inspiration for Ink Art Designs and we are creating all sorts of Christmas in July projects this month.

For this snarky Christmas card I used a couple of Katzelkraft Stamp sets including the new Owl set and you can't go past the Accessories stamp set to add those seasonal elements to your Katzelkraft stamp sets - making them even more versatile!

I used a great product from Decoart, its called Snow-tex, it creates a snow like texture on your projects and I love using it on my Christmas and winter creations.

To create my snarky scene, I first stamped the owl and christmas hat and branch and used a small round brush and my trusty Colour Blast watercolour set to add colour to my stamped images.

I rummaged around in my 'Christmas paper box' and found a couple of off cuts of christmas scrapbooking paper that I thought would make the stamped images pop!

Here are the products used from Ink Art Designs along with the links.
