'Dare to Swim' by Elisa Ablett - Visible Image

Hi everyone,

Elisa here from the design team for Visible Image with my next share for the month. 

I wanted to showcase just how versatile the awesome stamps at Visible Image are by creating a multi dimensional mixed media layout featuring 'Dare to Swim' and 'The Ripple Effect' stamp sets.

To start with I stamped on Acetate with black Staz On Ink and fussy cut the images out and set them aside while I created my background.

The background colours and texture is created with Distress Ink Oxides, Distress stains and ART -C water brush pen. 

I stamped 'The Ripple Effect' stamp on the background using the distress ink oxide ink pads masking half of the stamp off to create a half circle pattern. When you stamp them together they look like a wave!

Add some more stamping in black using the smaller bubble stamps from the Ripple Effect set across your page along with the fish from Dare to Swim.

Here are some close ups of the finer details!

My first design team post for Visible Image !

Hi everyone,

Elisa here from the design team with my first post representing Visible Image , this is so exciting for me, it's a dream team with the most exciting arty stamps and stencils!

For my first post and in keeping with the November 'make a tag' challenge theme over at Visible Image Facebook Group , I created the following tags.

For my first tag - I wanted to create a bold and vibrant mixed media tag using colourful and exciting mediums including Pebeo Metallic Paints and Colour Crush Powders from Tinby Designs and of course some lovely stamps from the Visible Image (Just be Happy and The Ripple Effect - Stamp Sets) 

Products Used:

Just Be Happy - Express Yourself Stamp Set

The Ripple Effect - Background Stamp Set

and a discontinued stamp set.

For my second 'tag' (which is more like an ATC) I went a little darker in both the tone and mood of the project. The background is on a thick black cardstock as my base, I then layered Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks in Antique Linen and Frayed Burlap plus Blueberry Colour Crush Powder from Tinby Designs. 

Next step was to use the fabulous Visible Image - Fibres Stencil along with some Colour Blast Bling Paste to add some texture.

I then stamped and fussy cut the main feature - the Skeleton from Mr Bone Jangles stamp set and using 3D mounting tape for depth.

That's it from me today, I hope you have enjoyed seeing how you can utilise your Visible Image stamps with mixed media projects!
