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. 

My Creative Monday for Magenta - Girl Collage 2

As promised last week: a colorful version of the butterfly collage stamp. 

The background has been made on a Histor sample of a very light blue paint. As it is a watercolor background I could easily remove the color from within the stamped images. I painted parts of the images with a water-diluted acrylic paint, then added color to part of the images. 
I finished the collage by stamping some tiny flowers around it.

My Creative Monday for Magenta - Flower Gelli printed card

An easy card today: a gelli printed background that is beautiful all on its own. 

The print ended up being grungy, but also has the flower image (from the mask) defined in such a nice way. 
I added some black edges to the flowers; extra color to the inside of it, and around it to make it pop more. 

 I drew circles with a black marker and glued some thick glitter pieces to it.
In the background some script to finish it off. 

I plan to adhere a printed Bible verse on the card before sending it off!

Textured Mushroom Art Journal Spread

I love making collages of stamped and fussy cut images onto gelli printed pages. 

This art journal has been made with gelliprints that were not particularly beautiful on their own.

Using them to collage and stamp onto makes them very useful for beautiful backgrounds. 

I hope you like it, see you next time!

My Creative Monday for Magenta - Flower on gelliprint

An ATC and a card from me today. 
A gelliprint with a greenish light blue and pinkish magenta : a nice base for this flower stamp. 

The gelliprint shows that I've used a flowery mask to make marks in the background. 

AND yes: I've made beads again; this time not from the leftovers but from the biggest part of the gelliprint!

Colorful Flowery Cards

 

Two cards from a single sheet of a monoprint from me today! 

I LOVE how this A4 sheet turned out, with all the stamping into the wet paint.

Guess what I've made with the leftover piece? 
I rolled it to be paper beads; two centimeters wide ones starting it off with a strip of 30 by 2 centimeter of white paper. I like making them like this as now it has a white core, and I don't need a big leftover piece of colorful paper to make it sturdy. They have not been glazed yet and I am sure they will look marvelous then. I might add some script stamped to it still... make them match the background of the cards more.  

As the backgrounds are quite colorful, I just added a fussy cut stamped image, and some words from a sentiment set.

 I colored the flowers with a watercolor pencil, added more of the green and yellow into the background to match the flowers.

Have a nice weekend!

My Creative Monday for Magenta - I think about you often, love you always.

 

An easy card from me today. 
I stamped the hearts on a colorful Nuance background. 
Tearing other backgrounds to finish the collage makes for a frame around it.
