Mixed Media Tag by Elisa Ablett

Ink Art Designs

Hi Crafters,

Elisa here from the design team for Ink Art Designs with my latest project, a mixed media tag. 

Lot's happening on this mixed media tag!

It started out as as gel print on a tag, then I added an image transfer which was just perfect. It was of a black and white pattern in an old magazine. Just loving how the image transfers are turning out on my gel prints, a technique I keep going back too.

Add a bit of background stamping and some collage paper from Scrap FX, make sure it is subtle so as to not take away from the main feature, our funky diva doll from Lost Coast Designs Stamp Company!

After I added a bit of colour in the background with my Distress Oxide Ink pads, I felt it was too bright so I added a white crackle paste over the top, it toned down all the colour brilliantly. 

To complete the doll, I actually stamped her a few times on different discarded gel prints I had laying around and pieced her back together with 3D foam squares to give her a bit of life. I added touches of colour pencils on her face to highlight her features. Just love how she turned out, a lovely art doll that you could use over and over again!

Here is a list of the products used from Ink Art Designs:-

Art journal page - Ink Art Designs

 

Happy New Year everyone, 

My first post of the year for Ink Art Designs as part of the creative team after a good break over the Christmas and New Year period.

I am sharing with you an art journal page that I created with loads of awesome Ink Art Designs products, make sure you check out the list below with links to the shop.

The snarky quote relates to the 'three skeletal mates' who have seemed to have gotten themselves trapped in a spider web.

I have a love of making snarky art journal pages lately, it is a great way to use your humour as a bit of  therapy!

Let's have a look through the products used:

' 3 in a round ' Stampotique Originals

'Lovely Wings' Stampotique Originals

dina-wakley-paint

distress-oxides

tim-holtz-snarky-small-talk-stickers/

The big spider web stamp is one I had laying around in my stash, it is from Scrap FX Australia.

I happened to use one of the new Tim Holtz colours - Crackling Campfire in the Oxide range and found the lovely deep orange and yellow/black colour scheme perfect for a 'dark humourous' art journal page.

A couple of challenges for you, try the colour combination out and/or an art journal page with a bit of dark humour.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today, make sure you head over to the Ink Art designs store and check out all the new products and the facebook group for loads of inspiration.
