Darkroom Door November Challenge ~Full Bloom Vol. 1

Hi there!!!
Today I'm sharing my November Monthly Challenge
using the Darkroom Door set called Full Bloom Vol. 1.

I created a mixed media background for the 8" Tag using
Carved Leaves Vol.1, Handwritten Ledgers and Number Medley plus
the Small stamp: Take Flight/Butterflies.  The background stamp used
is called Corrugated Iron. The sentiment is from the You are Everything
 set.

Red Panda Mixed Media Tag with Darkroom Door~

Hi there!!
Today I'm sharing another NEW stamp by Darkroom Door.
It is called the Red Panda Photo Stamp.  Super Cute!!!
I'm using the 8" Die Tag along with the Numbers Die Set 1
to create my Red Panda Tag. 

Using the Small Brick Wall Stencil to add interest to
the tag background.  The Red Panda is masked off to only
get the Panda not the frame, when stamped.  I used a stamping
platform for this, so I can restamp if needed.

The Carved Leaves Vol 1 are stamped with Versafine Clair/Nocturne
 and Shady Lane in random spots.  Love adding in the different
sizes of leaves. The sentiment is from You Are Everything.  Love
the reverse sentiment (white words on black background)!!

The stamp is available in a set or a single photo stamp.

Thanks for stopping by!!!
