StampTember-DarkroomDoor

Hi everyone and happy Saturday! It’s Shari here with a special art journal feature. Darkroom Door has created two stamp sets exclusively for Simon Says Stamp’s STAMPtember® event!

Love these stamps, so many possibilities! The one on the left is Warm Wishes and on the right is Enjoy The Journey. I’ve used a few stamps from each set for my art journal page today. I started with the flowers by clear embossing them on my background to create a resist.

I used some of the new Prima Arts Basic mediums to create some layers, and Dylusions sprays as paint. Once happy with my background, I stamped more of the Darkroom Door images with black ink over the top of all my treatments.

My Dylusins inks gave me a happy surprise, my brown turned out kind of purple when applied over the Crackle Paste. Delicious!!!

I shot a video of my process and this time I did it “live” since I used a lot of new product that needed some explanation. I’ve split it up in to two parts, Enjoy!

And on to Part 2.

I hope you like the voice format, if so, I’ll do more like this in the future.  Thanks for stopping by today!

  1. Awesome! I love that clear gesso, and painting with the dyalusions ink–super cool idea! I love how your background turned out!!

  2. Remarkable! Loved watching Shari turn a white sheet of card stock into a work of art for her journal.
    Can’t wait to see her finished project. Love the stamp sets too.

  3. What a super look. What a great tutorial. From the tutorial I learned so much–esp. about all I don’t know. I’ve never used half the products Shari used, but because she explained them well, I feel I can create a decent looking piece of art using the same products she did.

  4. Beautiful! I love hearing about the products and seeing the technique in detail. Thanks so much for taking the time to do this for us!
