'Gelli printing and cards' by Elisa Ablett

Hi everyone,

This year is going so quick I still can't believe we are almost mid-way through March!

I have had a nice few quiet weekends in a row and decided to do a little gel printing in my crafty time and then played around with a bit of silhouette stamping with these gorgeous wildflower stamps from Katzelkraft. I just love the combination of the patterns in the gel prints with the silhouette over the top.

I may have gone overboard and created too many cards but its just fun pulling the different prints and combining the different colours on the gel press, it can get very addictive!

Let's take a closer look at my set of cards for Ink Art Designs, who is an Australian stockist for Katzelkraft Stamps. As soon as I saw them I thought this set of Wildflower stamps belonged in my stash, the designs are just beautiful.

It is really just simply having a play with your mini shaped gel press with different colours and stencils for your backgrounds and then stamp and embossing your stamps over the top. Each and every card will be completely unique and different!

Here is the set of stamps with the link to Ink Art Designs.

'Soar' by Elisa Ablett - Rubber Dance June Challenge

Hi everyone, 

Just popping in to share a challenge project I created for the June Challenge at Rubber Dance Blog, Summer Theme Challenge.

I love these stamps! and I am slowly collecting them bit by bit :-) 

My mixed media tag features the Hummingbird Rubber Dance stamp and handmade coloured baby wipe flowers with touches of gold foiling. The background is created using the following mixed media products - gesso, distress ink - mermaid lagoon, cracked pistachio, Irresistable inks and Ken Oliver Gold Colour Burst Liquid.

I hand made the flowers and leaves using die cuts glued and fussy cut from a hand coloured baby wipe which had been dried. I then added gold foil touches to the leaves and the bird's wings. My tag reminds me of the birds and colours of summer in the area in which I live, the blue of the ocean, the green of the foliage and trees and the beautiful honey eating birds and flowers that come to stop in the garden.

Here are some close ups of the gorgeous stamp!

Here are the details of the challenge over at the Rubber Dance Blog.
