NEW product Darkroom Door - Catch of the day..

Surprise: new product released at Darkroom Door... 
more surprising is that Darkroom Door is back in business, now from the UK. 

One of the newest release: CATCH OF THE DAY - 
 DDRS257

All the additional stamping is done with stamps from the DDRS047 Correspondence Set




A postage stamps folder, with faux postage stamps on the inside.
I adhered a torn piece of a gelliprint as a backdrop for the fussycut fish, and added script. 

I stamped different stamps from the set to fill in the postage stamps and used part of the same gelliprint as a backdrop. The images were colored with watercolor pencils. 

The stamps were stamped onto a colored background, and additional color added with watercolor pencils. 
A white acrylic marker around the images makes them pop more.   

The background of this card started off as part of a gelliprint from my stash, on which I used punchinella to create texture in the paint on the gelliplate.

I added melted beeswax with a brush to the edges of the card. 

I used a heattool to melt the beeswax in areas (as it cools down quite fast) and stamped into the melted beeswax straight away with the "1,2,3,4, once I caught a fish alive ..." text. Repeat this step until you are happy with the embossed look.

Apply perfect pearls gold, silver, red to the surface, which will enhance the effect of the stamping into the beeswax. 

The lobster was stamped onto additional cardstock, and fussycut.

Another faux stamps project, now adhered to a card, which I used the postage stamp die to as well, to make it seem punched out of the colored card. 

The stamps were stamped onto a colored background, and additional color added with watercolor pencils to make them pop more. Extra white around the images was done with a presicion point applicator filled with white acrylic paint from Golden.
