Hello again Darkroom Door fans!
Today I have a couple of cards to share with you featuring the NEW RELEASE Scales Background Stamp by Darkroom Door.
I have so many ideas for this stamp including using it to create mermaids in my art journal but for now I have created two fun cards.
For the first card, I heat embossed the stamped background using white embossing powder on smooth white heavyweight cardstock. I then swiped it through a variety of blue and green Distress Inks on my craft sheet. I let it dry slightly and then pressed it back into the inks to pick up more colour. Again I let it dry slightly and then used some paper towel to carefully lift the colour away from the embossed areas.
I used the white embossing technique to create the embellishments for the card. I stamped and embossed a fish from the Under The Sea Stamp Set, some starfish from the Seashells Stamp Set, the number 4 from the Sketched Numbers Stamp Set, 'today' from the Everyday Life Stamp Set and a couple of circle labels from the Lots of Labels Stamp Set.
I layered them on my card front and added some coloured wire around the circles.

For the second card, I again stamped the Scales Background Stamp on smooth white heavyweight cardstock with embossing ink and heat set with white embossing powder. This time though I decided to paint the individual scales with watercolour paints. This was quite time consuming but worth the end result.
It's a little hard to see in the photo but I used a sparkly gold watercolour paint which really gives a lovely sheen in the right light.
The rest of the card was created exactly the same as the first but using a different fish and a rectangular label.
