Remembering Jenni Bowlin Studio ~

Hi there!!!
Today I'm sharing a blast from the past, Jenni Bowlin Studio.
This was my favorite paper crafts company back in
the day, around 2009-2013. Do you remember?  I think she was 
ahead of time with her products.  The color palette, vintage ephemera,
clear stamps, inks, punches and scrapbooking papers - all so good!!!!

I'm showcasing stamps from her line to create a couple of vintage
style tags.  The stamps are perfect for the mixed media look!!!

Always loved the labels and silhouette boy and girl.

The word strips are by Tim Holtz/small talk.  Inks are Distress Oxides.

The button is by Jenni too.  She had buttons, chipboard pieces, 
milk caps - the best embellishments.  I still have some!!!

I hope you enjoyed this journey down memory lane.  I still
love her products.  They would fit right in with art journal
pages and the mixed media craze!
Thanks for stopping by.

Darkroom Door Inspiration Challenge for February~

Hi guys!!

I'm going to get this post done early so you have no excuses not to

 join in on the Darkroom Door Inspiration Challenge for February on Facebook.

This months challenge is Red. Make a card using any Darkroom Door stamps and

the color Red.   Here is my card~

The background was created using Distress Oxides by Ranger, then spritzed with water.

The leaves were stamped on the background.  The flower was stamped and created using Distress Oxide ink also. Cut out and glazed.

Extra leaves were stamped and cut out then placed behind the flower.  An address label was added along with a label.  The card was splattered with white acrylic paint and black acrylic paint.  

I water the paint down and use a toothbrush. Works great!  You have good control over where the paint will go.

Supply list:

Darkroom Door/Stone Background Stamp

Eclectic Stamps~ Butterfly and Lamp Post

Hi, Connie here with a couple of cards using the new Eclectic Stamp/Butterfly.

I love that the, extra large, Butterfly will fit right in with the other two Butterfly sets, Wings and Butterflies.

I used some mists and inks by Ranger and the background stamp is called Numbers by Darkroom Door.

I made a scrapbooking page using this, very cool, Lamp Post stamp.  

 

 I stamped the lamp post out on Kraft cardstock several times, cut it out and pop dotted it to my page. Love how it came out and look it gives the page. Thanks for stopping by!!
