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.

'Soar' by Elisa Ablett - Rubber Dance June Challenge

Hi everyone, 

Just popping in to share a challenge project I created for the June Challenge at Rubber Dance Blog, Summer Theme Challenge.

I love these stamps! and I am slowly collecting them bit by bit :-) 

My mixed media tag features the Hummingbird Rubber Dance stamp and handmade coloured baby wipe flowers with touches of gold foiling. The background is created using the following mixed media products - gesso, distress ink - mermaid lagoon, cracked pistachio, Irresistable inks and Ken Oliver Gold Colour Burst Liquid.

I hand made the flowers and leaves using die cuts glued and fussy cut from a hand coloured baby wipe which had been dried. I then added gold foil touches to the leaves and the bird's wings. My tag reminds me of the birds and colours of summer in the area in which I live, the blue of the ocean, the green of the foliage and trees and the beautiful honey eating birds and flowers that come to stop in the garden.

Here are some close ups of the gorgeous stamp!

Here are the details of the challenge over at the Rubber Dance Blog.

'Fly with Me' By Elisa Ablett - Mixed Media Tag for Rubber Dance Stamps May Colour Challenge

Hi all,

Something completely different today!

I was so excited when I received my first Rubber Dance Stamps - Butterfly Girl 2 stamp from Ink Art Designs in Australia so I popped over to the blog for inspiration when I saw the May Colour Challenge and thought I would give it a go  :-) 

Here is the very colourful mixed media tag that I created for the May Colour Challenge based on the below mood board.

Here are some close ups of the finer details and my gorgeous Butterfly Girl 2 stamp! 

I stamped it twice and coloured each layer to create a multdimensional effect and the vision of her flying.

The gorgeous shimmer you see is due to Daler -Rowney Acrylic Inks - Metallic in Rose Petal.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today, I hope that you go visit the Rubber Dance or Ink Art shop via the links I provided above and grab some of these unique and great quality stamps :-)

Thanks xx

Elisa
