Art Journal Page by Elisa Ablett

 


Hi everyone, 

My turn to share inspiration for Ink Art Designs today with a very blingy art journal page!

I love working with shapes in my art journal and my favourite of all shapes is the circle. 

For this page I cut a circle from a piece of Art by Marlene Collage paper and stuck it to my page. I then stenciled in black ink around the edges and painted the rest of the page with black gesso. 

I love using Staz on Ink when stamping on Acetate, be gentle and don't stamp with too much force as this smudges your image. Let the image dry before moving it, sticking it or using it lol

Add some yellow ink and pink paint pen around the circle and once dry, scribble around in wild circles with a black fine tip marker. 

Now my trick to easy foiling without a fancy expensive machine, use a simple glue stick - go around and around the circle with the glue stick, a line layer of glue will do. Then using tweezers lay your foil sheet or foil flakes over the glued area, wait til dry then use a stiff hog bristle brush and dab vigorously with the brush over the foil area distressing the foil giving a patchy affect. ( I like to call this Elisa's distressed foiling on the cheap) works a treat and looks great.

Here is a close up of my project.

Kevin and Larry's Bad Decisions by Elisa Ablett

 

KEVIN AND LARRY GET INTO SOME TROUBLE!


Hi Crafters, 

Elisa here from the design team for Ink Art Designs with my latest project, a bit of a cheeky art journal page. I just love these fun 'Jungle Animals' from Katzelkraft Stamps and think Kevin and Larry will have a whole load of adventures together. 

For this page I wanted to create a scene for the background with watercolours, I have a few of the awesome ColourCraft Brushos and I used 'Sandstone' for the ground. I just love how you get all the different speckles of colour out of one little tub. 

For the sky and trees, i used my pan watercolours with a round brush and oil pastels over the top.

I stamped around the edges of the page plus added little plants using Art by Marlene - Exclusive Textures stamps, perfect for those little added touches to your projects.

Lets take a closer look!
