Darkroom Door DT - Eyes

 Hello Darkroom Door fans!

Today I have a couple of art journal spreads to share with you created for Darkroom Door and featuring the brand new Eyes Rubber Stamp Set.

How cool is this set?!!! They are a fantastic starting point to help you sketch a face which is what I have done in my art journal.

For my first art journal spread, I wanted to road test the small eyes in the set. I simply stamped three sets of eyes using Ranger Jet Black Archival Ink in my Dylusions Square Ledger Creative Journal. Then I sketched faces, bodies and hair around the eyes. I absolutely love how easy the eye stamps made it to sketch a face and they took away the worry of drawing wonky eyes.

Next I coloured my 'girls' with watercolour paint adding some shading around the face. The paper in this journal is not specifically designed for watercolour but it held up really well. Once I had all of my paint applied, I set it aside to dry.

Once the pages were dry, I added in some finer details and shading with coloured pencils and acrylic paint pens.

Next I added some stencilling using a few different Darkroom Door stencils and white gesso. You can find the details of all the stencils I used below in the product list.

I finished the spread by adding the fabulous Friends Quote Stamp and a sentiment from the new This Happened Small Stamp.

Next up I went for an even more whimsical feel with a single face. This time I used one of the large sets of eyes in the stamp set.

This spread was painted using acrylic paints and details added using acrylic paint pens and coloured pencils. Once I had finished painting the face, I stamped the eyes onto a strip of paper cut from another page in the same journal and stuck down on the page.

I applied the Diamonds Stencil in the large and small sizes to the background using a grey acrylic paint and stamped the Harlequin Texture Stamp on there too using Jet Black Ranger Archival Ink.

I finished the pages with a quote stamp and some sentiments as well as randomly stamped stars.

Darkroom Door DT - Notepaper Frame Stamp

 Hello Darkroom Door fans!

Today I am sharing a couple of cards I created featuring the fabulous NEW Notepaper Frame Stamp. I have created two simple cards using this stamp but there are so many more things I want to create! I think this stamp is going to feature quite a lot in my journal next year too.

Here's a peek at the stamp:

'Note' Card

1. Cut a piece of smooth white cardstock 13.5cm x 20cm. Fold in half to form the card base.

2. Cut a another piece of the cardstock 9cm x 12.5cm. Apply the Postcards Texture Stamp all over this piece using Seafarer Archival Ink. Dry with a heat gun to avoid smudging. Apply Old Paper Distress Ink over this piece using an ink blending tool. Ink the edges with the Seafarer ink and then stick this piece down on the card base.

3. Stamp the Notepaper Frame Stamp on another piece of smooth white cardstock using the Seafarer ink. Dry the ink and then apply the Old Paper Distress Ink as before. Add double-sided tape to the back of the piece (especially at the top as this strengthens it for fussy cutting). Cut the whole piece out taking care when fussy cutting the top. Apply Seafarer ink to the edges. Stick this piece down on the cardfront layered over the previous stamped piece.

4. On another piece of smooth white cardstock, stamp a doily from the Doilies Stamp Set using the Seafarer ink. Also stamp a butterfly and quote from the Spread Your Wings Stamp Set using the same ink. Stamp a title (ie. 'NOTE') using the Small Sketched Alphabet Stamp Set and the Seafarer ink. Dry all stamped images with the heat gun before applying the Old Paper ink. Fussy cut all elements, ink the edges with the Seafarer ink and then add to the card front.

Darkroom Door DT - Abstract Triangles

Hello Darkroom Door fans!

I am popping in today to share a trio of cards I created for Darkroom Door featuring the NEW RELEASE Abstract Triangles Texture Stamp.

These three cute cacti cards were really simple to make. I simply used a variety of Distress Inks to create some backgrounds on which to add my stamping.

I created a blue/green wash of colour for the card front. Once dry, I stamped it with the Abstract Triangles Texture Stamp using Ranger Seafarer Archival Ink. I dried the ink with a heat gun and then coloured in some random triangles with textas/markers.

I stamped some cacti and pots on the remaining Distress Ink backgrounds using Jet Black Archival Ink, fussy cut them and added to the cards along with some messy thread. I attached the cacti using 3D foam .

To finish I added a small sentiment from the Cacti Stamp Set.

Darkroom Door DT - Ransom Alphabet

 Hi all!

Today I have an art journal spread to share with you created for Darkroom Door and featuring the NEW RELEASE Ransom Alphabet Rubber Stamp Set.

I love these alphabet stamps so much as I have been patiently waiting for another alpha set. My Alphabet Medley Stamp Set is well loved and very well used!! It was time for another one. What I love the most about this alpha set is that it is sooo easy to fussy cut. I love that!

For my project today I have created an art journal spread in the Dina Wakley Media Ledger Journal using the Ransom Alphabet to create a really bold, in your face quote.

I created a messy acrylic paint background on this page and then used the Starry Night Large Stencil and the Circle Set Small Stencil to add a moon and stars.

I painted a head for my cute little moon child. Then I stamped the large butterfly from the Spread Your Wings Stamp Set on some cardstock that I had painted to match the background using Jet Black Archival Ink. I fussy cut the butterfly and cut it in half to add to a little body I had cut out of another background piece.

I added the body and wings to the page and also stencilled on some wildflowers using the Wildflowers Small Stencil.

Next I stamped the quote on smooth white cardstock using the Ransom Alphabet Stamp Set and some Jet Black ink. I added double sided tape to the back and then fussy cut each letter. So easy with the straight edges!! Thank you Darkroom Door!! Then I added them to the page.

I finished with a quote I cut from some Dina Wakley Media Ledger Paper.
