A little bit broken - Art Journal page by Elisa Ablett

Hi stamp friends,

My turn up on the Ink Art Designs blog and page today with my latest inspiration for you.

Today I am sharing with you an art journal page created with the gorgeous Visible Image Stamps and Stencils which are available for purchase from the Ink Art Designs Store.

I loved the little jigsaw puzzle piece stamp that is in the 'Don't Judge' stamp set. To create a grungy feel to the page I used Distress inkpads on white heavy weight cardstock, then stamped a few of the 'Organics' stamps over the top. I also stamped the jigsaw piece over the top and fussy cut the pieces out.

I wanted a grungy, dark and blue background to resonant with the sentiment stamps I used.

Out of Chaos comes Creativity - Art Journal Page by Elisa Ablett

Hi Crafters,

Happy New Year from me, 2020 is going to be a huge year!

How many of you made resolutions or goals for this year ?

Most of mine are crafty goals, creating in my art journal more, trying new techniques and seeing my crafty friends more.

To start the year for Ink Art Designs, I created an abstract mixed media art journal page using Visible Image Stamps and Stencils with a bright watercolour ink background and the use of white space.

To add extra interest in the background I also used a few of these old washi tape stickers I had laying around in my stash.

Other Products used include:

Colour Blast Colour Artist Inks

Versafine Ink - Black

Distress Tool

Hessian Thread

Let's take a closer look at the details :-)

With such a busy background, to make the main focus stand out a bit more (the large flower) I left a small white border when I fussy cut the flower out.

To keep the flower theme going, stamp the smaller flowers in the back ground, keep the receding away into the distance if that makes sense? Add colour to the centre of the small flowers.

Adding a bit of abstract grunge to the page by stencilling, stamping and drawing thin black lines and scribbly writing. Another tip is to stamp using the lid from your ink pad to add a frame underneath your large focal point.

and the finished product!

That's it from me today, thanks for stopping by the blog, make sure you say hi in the comments !

"Life is Beautiful" Art Journal page by Elisa Ablett

Hi everyone,

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

My goodness this year is flying, we are almost all the way through October, I have been a bit quiet the last few months with creating due to some tough circumstances on the homefront. So here is a timely reminder to take care of yourself and your family and that it is OK to take some time out if you need it.

I loved putting this art journal page together, what started out as a large pile of stamps and stencils ended with a sea themed art journal page with a bit of white space and not at all what I had planned.

Guess that's the beauty of art journalling, channelling your thoughts and feelings through art onto a page!

Here are a few of the products used from Ink Art Designs, if they are not in stock at the moment, no problem, just message Dot to see if she can get them in for you!

Katzelkraft Stamps - Seahorse Stamp

visible-image-stamps - ink splats, ripple effect, life is beautiful

Meshing Around and Fibres Stencils from Visible Image

Other products used include:

Colour Blast Watercolour inks, Tim Holtz Distress Stains and Inks, Izink Metallic Ink

Embossing powders in Royal Blue and Gold

Here are some close ups!

You can see from the close ups, that I embossed the Seahorse stamp and added a smidge of colour after to fill in some of the white. The circles in the background behind the seahorse make a great frame which draws your eye to the beautiful stamped image.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today, make sure you leave some love !

'Son' by Elisa Ablett for Visible Image UK

Hi Crafters,

Elisa here from the design team for Visible Image.

I have heard a few people say that they find it hard to create layouts for their older sons or husbands etc as most of the boy papers that are out there are geared towards younger boys.

As a mum of two boys, 14 and 9 years of age, I love to make my own backgrounds to suit their personalities and get the most out of my stamps and stencils. Win Win!

This is my latest mixed media layout featuring a few of the new stamp sets and stencils from Visible Image from their last release. Shapes and bright colours and a bit of grunge is great for a masculine layout and still keeping it nice and light and fun.

Visible Image Products used in my layout -

Stencils....

Stamp Sets.....

https://visibleimage.co.uk/product/ink-splats/

Here are some close ups!

Layering with my mini circle gel plate and using a mask to stencil within the circle. Then layer with different circle stamps, I used Shape it Up and Grunge Splats!

Continue on with your circle theme by cutting or punching out circle shapes from tissue paper so that you can still see the gel plate circles underneath!

Add some black splats and grungy writing for that ultimate in grungy boy layout.

That's it from me today, I hope that I have inspired you to add a little mixed media with your awesome Visible Image products, don't forget to head to the shop to see the whole range!

Hugs xx

'Create your own Calm' by Elisa Ablett

'Create your own Calm'

Hi everyone,

Elisa here from the design team for Visible Image with my latest design team layout.

A layered mixed media layout featuring an underwater sea theme, utilising the awesome 'Create your own Calm and Dare to Swim' stamp sets as well as the Fibres Stencil from Visible Image.

To create the background, I used a small petite gel plate along with Dina Wakely Scribble Sticks to create a watercolour 'bubbly' scene. Add some stencilling and stamping and you can build a scene to suit your photo!

TIP - to draw your eye to the photo, create a 'flow' across your page using your stamps and stencils and then use key pieces such as the black circle and large stamped images to draw the eye to the photo.
