'Love' by Elisa Ablett - Paper Rose Studio Design Team

Hi Crafters,

Elisa here from the Paper Rose Studio design team and today I am sharing my latest inspiration, a lovely scrapbooking layout featuring loads of Paper Rose Studio goodies.

Let's take a look at the full layout below!

I wanted to have a play with the Love Florals Blossom flowers stamp set this time around, I love the gorgeous blooms and sentiments with this set. I had the idea to play with the 'flexibility' of the stamps by bending the sentiment around a circle, so I could create a floral banner across my layout. It worked a treat, no stamps were harmed in the making of this layout lol.

I used my trusty Distress Oxide Inkpads in Lilac and Blueprint sketch to recreate the lovely navy and purple tones in my photo. Using a blending brush you are able to blend your colours through the stencil to create a ombre effect.

Don't be afraid to combine your products and stretch the uses of your stamp set!

'Bohemian' Art Journal Page by Elisa Ablett

Hi everyone,

Just sharing my latest Art Journal page for Ink Art Designs.

This is another page that I have completed in my mini Art Journal book that I posted about on the 24th August, inspired by the talented Tina Walker.

I haven't added a quote to this art journal page, it just felt 'enough' so I stopped!

Here is another look at the outside of the mini art journal books I made with the fabric covers.

and below is a close up of all the glorious texture from the recycled baby wipe, sari silk offcuts and vellum rose stickers that are in the background.

Let's take a look at the stamp I used from Ink Art Designs.....

Face up by Rubber Dance

Other items include:

Sari Silk, Vellum Stickers, Distress Oxide Inkpads, recycled baby wipe, Prima Confection Watercolours, Sigma Black Marker 0.7mm

After stamping her face on a separate piece of cardstock, I glued small strips and pieces of Sari Silk around her face and fashioned her hair, I added fine lines for her shoulders using a maker and then glued her baby wipe shirt on. I added her head piece 'crown of flowers' as it picked up the colours in her shirt and flowers and made her a true bohemian lady. Add small amounts of watercolour to the face, eyes and lips and shading under her chin etc.

Before I glued the Sari Silk down onto my page, I added my collage stickers and then added a thin wash of colour around and over the top to dull them down a bit.

A scribbled border using a marker adds the last touches.

Don't forget to visit the shop for more exciting Rubber Dance stamps !

Oooops! Go Me || Elisa Ablett

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.

Here are the links to the Ink Art Designs Shop -

Dream Big - By Elisa Ablett

Hi Everyone,

My turn up on the Shop and Crop blog today with something a little different for me - BACK TO BLACK!

I don't normally do a black cardstock background but with the Distress Oxide Inks, an awesome stamp set and a cool technique or two and the I just wanted to try one.

Here is a step by step tutorial on how I made the gorgeous flowers with the distress oxide ink pads.

Step 1 - using a nice smooth black cardstock, ink the middle of your stamp with the 'wilted violet' oxide ink pad and the the outsides of the stamp with the 'picked raspberry'. Then using the smaller of the stamps use 'cracked pistachio' ink pad.

Step 2 - Stamp all over your black cardstock, as you can see the Oxide Ink pads stamp beautifully over the black and come out in almost chalky neon colours.

Step 3 - Smudge your ink pads onto your craft mat and spritz with water liberally. Then using a paint brush splat and drip the liquid onto your cardstock over the top of your stamped images.

Step 4 - Add a bit more colour to the page by turning the cardstock upside down and dipping the flowers into the liquid on your mat and smoothing the back of the page with your hand. A close up below.

Step 5 - I also used the paint brush to add shading and colour to the inside of the flowers.

Then lastly once they have dried, I fussy cut the flowers out and then using a white gel pen added white dots to the middle of the flowers as you can see from the close ups!
