Abstract 02 by Darkroom Door~

Hi guys!!
I have been creating with a new stamp by Darkroom Door
 called Abstract 02 and it is pretty cool.
Perfect for card making or for those art journal pages!

Abstract 02

First card set~

Instructions:

The images were stamped on watercolor paper, using Archival/Jet Black ink and colored with Distress Oxides creating the background (Abstract 02) for the card.  The stars, bottles and pencils were stamped on heavy cardstock, colored with Distress Oxides (watered down) and then trimmed out and added to the card front, with dimensional
adhesive.  Texture was added, to the background, using the script texture stamp.  The card front was adhered to a folded Kraft cardstock card.

Instructions:
The background, for the card, was created using the Spanish Tiles with Distress Oxide ink

stamped on coordinating cardstock.  The Abstract 02 and Portrait Inchies were stamped on heavy cardstock with Archival ink/Jet Black.  The images are shaded with watered down Distress Oxide. The images (Abstract 02 and Portrait Inchies) are trimmed out and a canter border is created.  The sentiment is added from the Whimsical Words set by Darkroom Door.   Stickers were added the card was adhered to a folded card. Black splats were added with ink.

Instructions:

The background is created using the Lrg. Mesh stencil with Distress Oxides ink,  I used four different colors and then sprayed with water so they would mingle.  The Abstract 02 stamp was used next and highlighted with a white ink pen.  The med. Creativity stencil was used also with Archival/Jet Black ink.  The Carved Birds Vol.1 and the Carved Leaves Vol.1 were stamped in random spots and highlighted with a white ink pen.  The quote stamp ~ Dance, was stamped out on heavy cardstock and trimmed into strips, then added to the art journal page.  Watered down Distress Oxide ink was added, to each word strip, for color.  Black splats were added with ink.
