Mini Art Journals by Elisa Ablett

Hi Inky friends,

Elisa here from the design team for Ink Art Designs with my latest inspiration featuring loads of stamping, art journalling and inky mess.

I have to give you all a bit of background into these mini art journals and how I came to create (be addicted) them. I was lucky enough to catch a private tutorial from one awesome talented lady - Tina Walker (aka...A dogs life13). The tutorial was - how to create a mini art journal using one sheet of paper of any size!! it is so clever, I have included Tina's social media information so you can head on over and subscribe and keep on eye out in the next few months for the next mini book tutorial....

These are only 2 of the mini art journals i have created. I have also used cardboard to create the front and back covers and decorate them with Sari Silk and recycled baby wipes. 

Here is the link for Tina Walker's youtube channel and instagram,

You can see from the below photo by Tina Walker just how awesome these mini books can be!

 

I consider myself a novice of the mini book, but BOY am I addicted.

These are just a sample of the pages I have created in my two mini books so far!

Under each photo I have included a list of the Ink Art Designs stamps I have used in that page.

Hi everyone,

Elisa here from the design team for Ink Art Designs with my first post!

I fell in love with this stamp of the three wise monkeys from Lost Coast Stamps and I wanted to create a bright and funky (with a touch of humour) art journal page. 

 I love working with Distress Oxide Inks as well, so colourful and easy to create great backgrounds.

I stamped my image onto smooth cardstock using Versamark Black ink and then used a palette of watercolours and a small round paintbrush to colour the Monkeys.
