Hello Darkroom Door fans!
Today I have three projects to share featuring the BRAND NEW Abstract 01 Stamp. I have created two dark and grungy art journal spreads as well as a brighter card.
'Plant Happiness' Card
Instructions:
Step 1:
- Cut a piece of white card stock measuring 17cm x 20cm.
- Fold in half to form the card base.
Step 2:
- Cut another piece of smooth white card stock measuring 9.5cm x 17cm.
- Apply the Fallen Leaves Background Stamp to this piece using Peeled Paint Distress Archival Ink.
- Stick down on the card base.
Step 3:
- Cut another piece of smooth white card stock measuring 8.5cm x 16cm.
- Press the Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink pad onto a large acrylic block and spritz with water.
- Place the upturned acrylic block onto the card stock and then remove.
- Titl the piece of card stock to play with the ink and cover the piece as much as you wish. You may need to spritz with more water to get the ink to flow.
- Dry with a heat gun.
Step 4:
- Apply the Abstract 01 Stamp to the bottom of the inked piece using the Peeled Paint ink.
- Choose some small flowers from the Carved Flowers and Gardening Vol 2 Rubber Stamp Sets.
- Use the Peeled Paint ink on the stems and some bright Distress Oxides on the flowers. Line up the stems with the lines from the Abstract 01 Stamp and stamp on the card front. Repeat until you have a pretty garden of flowers.
Step 5:
- Use a green pen/marker to add leaves to some of the stems.
- Add outlines using a fine white paint pen to make them stand out from the background.
- Tie some ribbon around the base of this piece and then mount on some extra white card stock.
- Trim so that you have a fine white border around the stamped piece.
- Stick down on the card base.
- Stamp the sentiment on the extra card stock using Jet Black ink, fussy cut and add to the card.

Next up are two art journal spreads I created inspired by a tutorial by Jenny Grant. For both, I created a collaged background in an altered book using scraps of patterned paper, tissue paper, torn sewing patterns and other scraps. I sketched my characters and used black and white gesso as well as a cream acrylic paint on the pages. Then I used a bunch of Darkroom Door Stamps with Jet Black Archival Ink. I also added interest to the first spread with Darkroom Door stencils and gesso.
