Me ? Crazy ? - Art Journal page by Elisa - Ink Art Design Team

Hi Stampers,

Elisa here from the design team for Ink Art Designs with my latest creation, a fun art journal page.

What do you get when you cross a snarky frog with a unicorn and loads of colour? lol

To start my page I added Watercolour Inks to watercolour paper using a wet on wet technique and blotting with a baby wipes to take away some of the bright colour. I saved my baby wipe and waited for it to dry, I then peeled the layers of the baby wipe apart and fussycut cloud shapes from one of the thinner layers. 

Add your book paper and sew in bright coloured thread around the paper.  Add a black border in a watercolour black pencil. Adhere your clouds to the page and add your stamped and coloured images. I decided to add a stencilled border to really make the colours pop!

Here are some of the products used from Ink Art Designs shop:

'I'm a rainbow sprinkle in a vanilla world' by Elisa Ablett - Ink Art Design Team

Hi everyone,

Elisa here with my latest share for Ink Art Designs, a rainbow inspired art journal page.

To create the background I layered Rice paper collage paper from Scrap FX along with black gesso and coloured inks. I stamped and coloured the frogs in sequence using my Misti stamping platform which is great for lining up and multi-stamping. I then coloured the frogs with Dina Wakely scribble sticks.

With my main frog, I heat embossed using black embossing powder and coloured him with Dina Wakely scribble sticks and added highlights using a lighter shade in yellow and green. I added some cute little die cuts from the Art by Marlene Die Cut Sheet paper pads.

I also added a few other details in the background including some stencilling and texture with Irrestibles Pico Embellishers. A super easy art journal page to complete with an eye catching finish.

Lets take a closer look!

Who left the bag of idiots open ? Card by Elisa Ablett

Hi Stamp Lovers!

My turn to share another project for Ink Art Designs to end out the month of January.

To mix things up a bit I created a snarky funny card (or art journal page) combining a few stamp sets and a snarky sentiment. Sometimes you just have to mix things up to achieve the result you want lol ..

I am again having a load of fun playing with the Katzelkraft Stamp Sets from Ink Art Designs, I find the facial expressions and antics of the animals in these stamp sets are just made for creating a card with humour.... I have a bit of a quirky sense of humour so don't worry if its not your cup of tea so to speak. 

Lets take a look at the products used from Ink Art Designs shop:

I have included the links below to make things easier if you want to have a look through the shop.

To create the card, I used a watercolour ink background along with a tree stamp and some stencilling to create hills. I heat embossed with black embossing powder for my stamped images and then used watercolours to add colour.

TIP: stamp a few images and play around with mediums to achieve the look you want, sometimes a happy accident of combining a few products can achieve the very look you didn't know you where looking for!
