Zombies - Art Journal page by Elisa Ablett

Hi VLVStamp fans,

Hello from Australia ...'waving madly'🙋🙋

Elisa here from the design team with my latest inspiration for you. 

I created an Art Journal page featuring loads of Viva Stamps in a crazy collage.

I have included a few close ups showing the fun I had stamping and colouring each layering of the collage and including some mulberry coloured craft wire and stitching.

Love this Creepy Bald guy stamp, so versatile, I can definitely see myself using him again and again.

And I find myself using the Rows of Numbers and X Circle stamp over and over in my backgrounds. 

Make sure you head to the website to check out the new plates of stamps and also I have included a list with direct links to the stamps I used to create my journal page.

I used the following Viva Stamps:-

Other products used:

Hi Everyone!

 Karen here with you today with my very first post for the new design team term! I'm so happy to be back and sharing some inspiration with you all again.  So I'll jump right in and share with you the tag that I created using the awesome new  July inspiration  challenge board

 

 

This board is just so me! , neutral colours, a bit of  dreamy, vintage grungy splotchy goodness.. and the colour green! 

 

Here is what this awesome board has inspired me to create..

 

 

I started off with some  Nature Walk from 7 Dots Studio  for my tag base, I couldn't decide which side of the  paper  to use, so I ended up using both.  I've used the Sunflowers stamp with my distress markers to add the base layer, along with the line of chevrons.

 

 

 I then inked up the  tall mushroom, along with this mushroom and the girl with wings and stamped them on some Kromecote paper, and added in some colour using a few more distress markers.

 

 

I then layered them on top of my tag base, using some foam mounting tape to give some elements a little extra height, and finished off by adding the word Dream, using some alphas from UmWow Studio

 

 

 

 

 

 I hope this is leaving you a little inspired, and wanting to join in the fun of this month's challenge! We'd love to have you join us!

 

Happy Creating
