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:-

Hi Viva Las Vegas Stamp fans,

Elisa here from the Guest Inspiration team with my next project for you featuring a load of gorgeous VLV Stamps.

My husband went on his first international trip last year to Spain for work and was under strict instructions to take loads of photos for me to Scrapbook with and create a travel journal for him.

I decided to create a travel themed Scrapbook page with one of his snapshots of the Basilica in Barcelona (it was under construction). Add some vintage themed papers from 13Arts designed by Fiona Paltridge to the VLV stamps with a bit of mixed media and I am so happy with the result. This design can be easily reproduced as an Art Journal page or as a page in a Travel Journal.

Let's take a closer look at the great VLV stamps that feature -

The 'Map of the World' Stamp was used with great effect in the background along with a few of the great background stamps from Plate 1495.

To fit in with my vintage travel look for the layout, I stamped 'One Way Sign' and 'Pointing Finger' and then coloured them with a Distress Oxide Ink Pad. I also included a Kraft Pocket Envelope to slip train tickets, entry tickets, memorabilia etc.underneath the photo cluster.

I stitched old sewing patterns to cardstock to create my own background paper, this is a great tip for those who love junk journalling!

To draw your attention to the photo cluster. add background stamping 'X Circle' and 'Row of Distress Lines' along with a wood veneer arrow and a cityscape die cut.

Video Tutorial by Fiona

Hello VLVS! fans, Fiona here with you today to show you how I created some collage paper by stamping directly onto the gel surface with the stamps.

I then used the collage sheets to make a little mini album.

I embellished the cover with some more stamping.

 And added some little Um WOW Studio chipboard dudes on as well.

I think i might add some pages into this little one and turn it into an art journal or a little sketch journal.

Here is the video showing how I created the collage paper.

And here is the list of Viva Las Vegastamps! I used

Plate 1495

Scribble Circle

Typeset Scallop

Carved X's

X Circle

Rows of Numbers

Row of Distressed Lines

Row of Scribble Squares
