Hello Darkroom Door fans!
Today I have three cards to share for Darkroom Door featuring the fabulous NEW Abstract 07 Abstract Stamp.
The Abstract Stamps are a big favourite of mine as I love the smaller size of them. This makes them absolutely perfect for cards and art journaling as well as many other uses.
For my three cards. I decided to use the Abstract Stamp to create a confetti like background with pretty Distress Oxide Ink colours.
'Live It Up' Card
Instructions:
Step 1:
- Cut a piece of kraft card stock measuring 14.5cm x 21cm.
- Fold in half to form the card base.
Step 2:
- Cut a piece of cream card stock measuring 10cm x 14cm.
- Apply Cracked Pistachio, Squeezed Lemonade and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Inks to the stamp starting with the lightest colour and ending with the darkest.
- Spritz the stamp lightly with water.
- Apply the stamp to the left hand side of the card stock piece.
- Repeat until the whole piece is covered (ie 3 times all together)
- Stick down on the card base.
Step 3:
- Ink up a stamp from the Watery Washes Stamp Set with the Cracked Pistachio Ink. Spritz with water and apply to the card front.
- Use a soft wet paintbrush to blend the ink on the stamped image for a smoother look.
- Press a corner of each of the ink pads onto an acrylic block.
- Use the paintbrush to pick up the colour and flick over the card front.
Step 4:
- Use the Worn Lipstick Ink to stamp some stars (as pictured) from the Stars Stamp Set onto an extra piece of the cream card stock.
- Fussy cut each star.
- Add the largest star to the card front along with some messy thread.
Step 5:
- Stamp the ice-cream cone onto the extra card stock using Tree Branch Archival Ink.
- Stamp the ice-cream using the three oxide inks.
- Fussy cut each piece and stick together.
- Add to the card front using 3D foam.
Step 6:
- Add the remaining stars to the card front along with a stamped sentiment.
