'Stronger' - Mixed Media Tag by Elisa Ablett

 Hi everyone,

Elisa here from the design team for Visible Image with a bright mixed media tag.

The background was created using a distress tool, smoothing the black ink through the new 

'take my hand' stencil over your painted background. 

I have also added touches of primary elements - Gold Mica powder to the distress tool and smoothed the mica powder over edges and some parts of the painted area of the tag.

I have also stamped and coloured in the eye and then punched it out with a circle punch 

and then used 3d foam mounting tape to mount the eye over part of the hand.

Stamp and colour your title 'Stronger' with mica powder and then add to your tag.

Here are some close ups -

"Life is Beautiful" by Elisa Ablett

Hi Crafters,

Elisa here from the design team for Visible Image with my latest project, a mixed media art journal page featuring the NEW Life is Beautiful Stamp Set.

This gorgeous stamp set jumped out at me from the very start.

 A beautiful hummingbird, sentiment and geo circle design to create backgrounds with.

To create my art journal page I painted the background with Dina Wakely paints, I also used my small mini circle gel plate to create a focal point. I used my Visible Image Strobe Stencil on the gel plate to add further texture and patterns on my focal point.

Here are some close ups -

'Glimmer of Light' by Elisa Ablett

Hi Visible Image lovers!!

Elisa here from the design team for Visible Image UK.

If you haven't had a look at their website and blog head on over and have a peek, their stamps and stencils are divine 💛

Here are some close ups !

I used a brilliant yellow ink pad and a sponge dabber to dab ink through my background stencil and a yellow ink to add a watercolour effect on my background.

For my moth, I heat embossed with a heavy black and then sprinkled a yellow embossing powder over the top in places to get a two toned effect.

Use 3D mounting tape to create a 3D effect, also add black cardstock to make your card colours pop!

'Create your own Calm' by Elisa Ablett

Hi Visible Image lovers,

My turn up on the blog today with my latest layout showcasing a number of new stamp sets and stencil from https://visibleimage.co.uk/.

One of my favourite design techniques is to use frames on my layouts, squares, circles, flowers ...well you get the picture. 

For this layout I used a square to contain my background, which features stamping using colourful inks. The Visible Image stamp set - Organics was perfect for this technique.

I also love using stamping on acetate as a technique, using Staz On ink, you can stamp and fussy cut images to go with your themed background. In my layout, i used the Create and Calm seahorse on acetate to add a feature stamping piece to my layout. 

Its perfect to use on layouts as you get to see your background through your embellishment. 

Here are some close ups of my stamping using the Visible Image products -

'Her Spirit Was Strong' by Elisa Ablett

Hi everyone,

Elisa here from the design team of Visible Image with my latest mixed media project for you.

A mixed media tag featuring a couple of Visible Image's background stamps - the new awesome Fibonacci and De-Stressed.

To create the tag, I started with a heavy base chipboard tag from 2Crafty Chipboard, perfect substrate for a mixed media tag. Next came a background of gesso'd old book paper, torn and distressed. 

I then stamped my feature dragon flies ( https://visibleimage.co.uk/product/live-in-the-moment/), hand coloured with a bit of the gorgeous teal dylusions shimmer spray and then fussy cut them out and 3d mounted them over my background.

I loved using the Cosmic Skies Stencil to create a small and subtle amount of texture for my background. I used a white modelling paste as I find that it doesn't soak up colour as much as other mediums leaving you with bright colour!

Close ups for the finer details -

'Use your wings' by Elisa Ablett

Hi Crafters !

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

I wanted to create a whimsical mixed media board using the gorgeous 'Believe in Unicorns' and 'Angels are Near' stamp sets from Visible Image.

I used Distress Oxide ink pads to create a chalky oxide background for my moonscape and I hand dyed the gauze to create a textured 'grass'.

To create the fairy wings I used Dina Wakely Scribble Sticks directly onto the stamps and spritzed with water! and then once dry I then stamped again over the top with a different colour.

Here are some close ups for the finer details.

Here are the stamp sets from Visible Image, click on the links to see the stamps in store today!

Angels are near

Thats it from me today, make sure you head over to the shop to have a peek at all the fantastic stamps and stencils!
