Collage Botanical Sheets by Darkroom Door

Hi guys!
I have more NEW Collage sheets to share by Darkroom Door .
These are so fun to work with.  Art journal pages or cards you
choose.


I'm creating with the Botanical Collage sheets. So very cool!! I
used the collage sheets as the focal of the cards and then 
added stencils and stamps.



The top card the Tall Flowers small stencil was added to 
the front along with some bits and pieces of collage papers.
I used the Global Postmarks and the Long Distance Sentiment
Strip for the card greeting.  The bottom card is created in the 
same manner.  I used the Take Flight stamp for the small
silhouette butterflies and the Adventure Sentiment Strip
for the card greeting.  I added white acrylic paint to the edges
of the cards for a distressed look.  
All adhesive used is by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

Check out all the NEW RELEASE from Darkroom Door.
Good Stuff!!!

Christmas in July with Blue Knight Rubber Stamps: Horse and Sleigh

Hi guys!
Here is my third card set for the
Christmas in July with Blue
Knight Rubber Stamps. 
I'm creating with 
Horse and Sleigh. Such a fun silhouette stamp. 


The top card is created using Distress Oxide ink over the 
stamped image. The Ski Lodge is stamped with Archival 
Jet Black ink and colored in with Distress Oxide inks.
The Birds II stamp was used also to add a group of
birds above the mountains.  The Horse & Sleigh were stamped
on the card front using a stamping platform.
The bottom card is using the Matthew 1 background stamp to build
a background for the Horse & Sleigh.  The pine trees are from
the Chickadee in the Woods set.  The stamp was masked off 
so only the trees would stamp out. The Horse & Sleigh were stamped
on the card front using a stamping platform so the silhouette stamp
could be stamped several times to get good coverage.  The bird was added from 
the Birds II set and the sentiment is from the Winter Cardinals set.
All adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

NEW Collage Paper by Darkroom Door ~ Elegant & Botanicals.

Hi guys!!
Darkroom Door has come out with a NEW 
RELEASE
of collage papers If you love creating
art journal pages, mixed media type projects
you will love these.


I used both of the collage sheets on the art journal page that
I created.  I used Distress Oxide ink and Versafine Clair.


I used a ton of Darkroom Door stamps and stencils.  I began by
laying the color down and then layering the NEW collage papers
I used papers from both sets.  Super fun!!
Texture paste was added along with more stencils.  This
is a In and Out Journal so it made it easy to stamp and
stencil in. 


When I create art journal pages I just go with it. I rarely have a
plan or design in mind. Most of the time something will trigger a
path of design.  With this page it was the girl and the quote used.


The products I used are listed below.  Darkroom Door does not retire
stamps so they will be on the website here.
You Are Everything, Sketched Numbers, Number Medley,
Carved Leaves Vol.1, Be Brave/Quote, Faded Circles/Abstract are
the stamps used.  Friendship/Med. Stencil and Mesh, Handwritten Script
are small stencils. 
Main thing here is have fun and create!!!

Thanks for stopping by!

New Stencils by Darkroom Door ~ Three Wonky Strips.

Hi guys!
My last NEW RELEASE stencil to create with
for Darkroom Door is called Three Wonky Strips.
It is a fun one!!!   It makes really cute, easy cards.
Easy is nice!!!


The Three Wonky Strips are on the last row, third one from the left.


Both cards are created in the same manner. I used panpastels
as the color. The top card is very easy. The Carved Birds Vol.2 are
stamped over the stenciled image. The sentiment is added using
Long Distance Sentiment set. Acrylic paint is added to the 
card edges for a distressed look. 
The bottom card the NEW Three Circles stencil set was added
to enhance the Three Wonky Strips stencil. By using 
panpastels as the color it lets you erase the color giving you a
lighter shade of the color. Neat thing to know!!!
The silhouette flowers are from the You Are Everything Set.
So perfect for this.
The sentiments is from the Thank You Sentiment set.
All adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.
