Filmstrip/Seashells by Darkroom Door~

Hi guys!
I have another Filmstrip stamp to share by Darkroom Door.
This one is called Seashells.  It pairs with the Seashell set and
background stamp so well.

On both of the cards the background is created using 
Distress Oxide inks.  In case you haven't noticed I love
using this ink.  When watered down it is like  watercoloring 
but better.  It leaves imperfections that look really
cool in the stamped image.  The Filmstrip stamp is stamped
with Archival/Jet Black.

On both cards I used Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L for adhesive.
 
Products used: Darkroom Door: Filmstrip/Seashells, Fishing Net,
Sketchy Stars, Happy Sentiment Stamp, Shells Background,
 Open Sea Quote, Seashells set.
other: Distress Oxide ink, Archival Jet Black, Misti /stamp
platform, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

Flimstrip/Ocean Life by Darkroom Door~

Hi guys!!
I have a couple cards to share using the newly
released Filmstrip/Ocean Life by Darkroom Door. 

The first card is showing how it can be used as an
awesome background stamp. 

The Filmstrip is stamped 3 times on a stamping platform (Misti). I do this so 
I can re-stamp to get a good dark border on the Filmstrip image.
The strips are colored with Distress Oxide inks and then cut to make a wonky
background. The Frame/Filmstrip stamp is used to showcase the
Fish and Seahorse.

The second card is created with distress Oxide inks to create
a ocean background.  I used the Arty circles stencil to create
the bubbles.  The Filmstrip is colored with Distress Oxide inks
and adhered to front of card.  The fish are from the Under The Sea set
by Darkroom Door. All adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

Products used: Darkroom Door: Filmstrip/Ocean Life
Under The Sea, Tropical Island, Filmstrip Frame and Arty Circles/small
 stencil.
other: Misti, Distress Oxide, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

Meadow & Mountain card with Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

Hi guys!
I've got a really vintage looking card to share today.
I love the look and so easy to achieve.

The background is Distress Oxides watered down.
I lay the paper into the mixture and then heat dry.  I repeat
until I get the look I'm looking for.  I use my Misti to align my stamp up
and then I'm able to re-stamp after the color is added to the stamped
scene. The water and Sunflowers are colored with Distress Oxides.
They perform just like watercolors!!

Rainy Days by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~card time!!

Hi guys!
I have a couple cards to share using the newly released Rainy Days
 by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.
I think this stamp makes beautiful note cards.  So
simple but striking.   Panpastels make it so  easy and pretty 

to add color to the card front.
Card #1 ~ 

This card was stamped on mixed media paper using a Misti stamping platform.The image
 was stamped and then colored in with Day & Night Panpastels .

Shading was added using colored pencils.  The sentiment was

 stamped using the Mini Greetings 1 set and trimmed into a small tag.

The tag was attached using 3D foam squares by

 Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

Card #2~

 With this card,  the steps are the same as the above card,  just used the
 Sunrise & Sunset Panpastel set to color in the image.  The
sentiment used is from the Mini Greetings 1 set.

Silhouette Corner Foliage by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

Hi guys!

 I have a couple cards to share using the Silhouette Corner Foliage 

stamp by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.  Such a cool stamp.

Even though the foliage is in one corner, the stamp can be moved

around to a different angle to create a different look.

Card#1 ~

I created the sunset first using PanPastels and then stamped
 over the background of the card.

Using a Misti or stamping platform makes it easy to repeat stamping
of the image to insure a crisp and rich image.

Card#2

The background on this card was created using Distress Oxide ink in blue tones.
The stencil reminds me of an arbor ornament for Ivy's to grow on
.  The stamp was turned up side down to get the top leaves stamped.
I love a pretty Ivy stamp. So many uses~
Products used:
Blue Knight Rubber Stamps: Silhouette Corner Foliage
Ink: PanPastels, Distress Oxide inks, VersaFine Clair/Nocturne   

Adhesives: Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L
Stencil: Paper Artsy/Sara Naumann

Grunge Borders by Darkroom Door~ Art Journal pages

Hi guys!
I have three projects to share using the Grunge Borders stencil by
Darkroom Door.  Love this stencil so much!!!! Adds great texture
and interest to any project.
Art Journal page #1~

The background is created using acrylic paint, vintage text paper and the

Grunge Borders stencil.  Random areas are highlighted with a white gel pen.

  The Patchwork Butterfly / Collage stamp by Darkroom Door is

colored or not colored with the "crayon resist technique". This is the

You Tube video I watched.  So good and easy!!! Rachel did this video

ten years ago!!

Art Journal page #2

The background is created using Distress Oxide inks.  Layer the colors,
one at a time, dry after each color and then introduce the next color.
Add the Grunge Borders stencil and the Large Script stencil and
highlight with a white gel pen. The Birdhouse and Birds are stamped
on mixed media paper, dipped in Distress Oxide ink and then trimmed out.
Images were added with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L's foam squares.
Lots of Labels, Fine Leaves and Everyday Life were also used on this
Art Journal page.

Project #3 ~ card 

The background for the card is created with Distress Oxide inks and the
Grunge Borders stencil.  The card front was cut in half and the adhered
to the card base and then to a folded card.  The Take Flight Stamps was
used to complete the card.

Number Medley by Darkroom Door~

Hi guys!
I have a couple of cards to share using the newly
released stamp called Number Medley by Darkroom Door.
This is a fun stamp and goes so well with the stamps
in the Darkroom Door product line.  You guys need this set!!
If you love mixed media, must have set :)

I basically created the background using PanPastels (windmill card) and Distress
Oxide ink on the camera card.  Then I stamped the images from the Number Medley
set over the background.  I love the look it gives the cards.  Then stamp the focal
image (windmill and camera) to complete the card.

Products used:
Darkroom Door: Number Medley, Country Windmill, Make Art Sentiment stamp, Filmstrip stamp, Lots of Labels, Dream Big Sentiment stamp and Camera
Ink: Archival and Distress Oxide ink
PanPastels
Other: scrapbook Adhesives by 3L, twine.

Misti Plate form was used to get good coverage of ink on the windmill card.

Regal Deer by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

Hi guys!
I have a couple of cards to share using newly released
stamp called Regal Buck by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.
I really love this stamp because we had a deer, on our place, that we 
called the "old man" but Regal Deer would have been fitting
for him.  In his prime he was "Regal"!!
Card #1~

I stared with a mixed media background for this card.  I love how it came out ~ looks
 pretty "Regal" to me!

I started off by stamping image, using the misti so I could stamp
several times getting a strong outline of the deer

  The stamped image was run trough the inks and heat dried. I used
three different colors of ink. Repeat the process until you get the
desired background.  You actually are layering colors of ink.
The sentiment was stamped out and color was added in the 

same manner.  To complete the card, mat the card front on
coordinating cardstock and adhere to a folded card.  Add twine and
 a small button.

Card #2~

This background was created using ink and stencils.  I really love it!!
Before I could stencil, I created a mask so the deer would not get stenciled over.

When I was done with the mask I taped to the back of the stamp set,
ready for me to use again.  Clever, right!!

I used Archival ink for the stenciling.  The deer is colored in with watered
down Distress Oxide ink.  It works just like watercolors!!

To create the label for the card, I used the word EPIC form
 the Zach and Marley set along with a label punch.  To
complete the card adhere to cardstock and then a folded card.
Adhere the label with 3D Foam Squares for dimension.

Climbing Kitten by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

Hi guys!
I have a couple of cards to share using the newly released
Climbing Kitten by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.  This is a really fun stamp

 on so many levels!!
Card #1~

This card is stamped out on mixed media paper and colored with
watered down Distress Oxides.

I love the vintage look these colors give the image.  I applied one layer of
ink and let it pool in places.  

I continued to add color to the image, very lightly.  To complete the card
it was matted on coordinating cardstock and then a folded card.

Card #2~

This card was created the same way the top is except
the colors are darker.  The image was spattered with water
to give a distress look. The kitten shows it the best with the
dark and light areas.

The image was stamped, on mixed media paper, and extra corners of the
image were stamped and painted.  Those will be trimmed out and added

over the leaves on the original image.

By cutting out the extra leaves (corners,) I was able to add

some really fun dimension to the card front. I used 3D Foam Squares/Scrapbook
 Adhesives by 3L.  I even added leaves in random spots.

To complete the card, mat on coordinating cardstock and then
a folded card.

A Silhouette Christmas card with Joy Clair!

Hi guys!
It is my turn on the Joy Clair blog.  I will be sharing a
card created using the Santa's Coming set by Joy Clair.  
It has some really fun silhouette houses that are amazing!!

I used my Misti (stamp platform) to get the houses lined up straight and then stamped them out on gray cardstock.  I used Versa Fine Clair by Imagine Crafts.  I love the deep, rich black color it produces.  On a silhouette type stamp the ink is important. You want good coverage of color.  The wreath was colored in with dual tip markers by Leisure Arts.  This card could be backed with different colors of cardstock (like traditional holiday colors) and look amazing.  I used silver cardstock with the gray.  Love the look!!

The house were splattered with white acrylic paint.  I use an old toothbrush and watered down paint to get a good snow look.   The card is adhered together with 3D foam squares by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful holiday!!!

January New Release with Joy Clair Day 1 ~ Rise and Shine!

Hi guys!!!

So happy to show you my first project using the fabulous Joy Clair stamps.

This is from the  Joy Clair January release, 13 sets and all amazing!!!

It is Rise and Shine and you will be seeing this set again. We have chickens

 and would make great embellishments for the scrapbook page but also for cards!!

The background was created using Distress Oxide ink, watered down and

 dragging the card base through the different colors of ink.  It is a great way to

 create a multi color background for a card.

This technique worked so well for the Rooster, giving him all kinds of colors.

The banner, dividing the card, was created using the Misti.  Makes it easy to keep 

the sentiment lined up and straight while stamps several in a row.
