Art Journal page by Elisa Ablett for Ink Art Designs

Hi everyone, 

Elisa here from the design team for Ink Art Designs with my latest project, a gel printed art journal page!

So while on a crafting retreat/camp in the mountains with a few friends I pulled out the old A4 gel plate with the intention of creating some unique collage paper and ended up using old music paper and book paper as well. I just loved this colourful print and thought it would be a great background for an art journal page. 

I have been meaning to use Katzelkraft - Lamas stamps for a while now and loved this little one prancing, perfect pairing with a snarky sentiment from the Tim Holtz Snarky Small Talk Sticker book.

I find when you have a bright and multilayered background, try to keep the rest really simple, make the main stamped image your focal point and try to draw the eye to it. I hand coloured my prancing lama with watercolours and colour pencils, keeping him fairly clean and simple. I added a large white circle along with a lightly stamped mandala to act as my focal point.

Here is a close up :-)

Hi everyone,

My turn today to share another project for Ink Art Designs.

I went straight to my Dina Wakley White Art Journal and Colour Artist Inks from Bee Arty and gathered my Art by Marlene stash!

I wanted to create a multi-colour background in a different way, masking off long rectangles and painting them with different coloured inks. Add some collage paper, stamping and the gorgeous Black Diamond Glimmer Paste from Nuovo.

I love to add gold foil flakes to a lot of my projects, adding a bit of bling and more texture. I also love sewing on my projects and it doesn't have to be neat!! 

I love the end result, a unique and quirky art journal page with loads of colour!

Here are all the awesome Ink Art Design goodies that I used to create the art journal page:
