Art Journal Feature with Darkroom Door
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!

The art journal turned out really pretty! Love that you are sharing the entire work process since I’m very new to mix-media. The stamp sets are gorgeous too. Thanks so much for sharing.
Beautiful project! Thanks for sharing the tutorial with us.
Beautiful art journal! Love the colors and stamps used!
Spectacular work, Shari! I love all of the sparkle that you achieved with the glass glitter and mica flakes. I’m not a big fan of lots of glitter, but this gave a classy bit of gleam to the overall project. I am curious though – did the mica pick up the colour or did it resist it? I really like the crackle effect of the polka dots – interesting texture. Loved the videos and the voice format. Even your whispering came through loud and clear.
Hi Carol, the mica and glitter did not pick up the color, but the color bled underneath them. At some point, I blotted those areas with my paper towel to lighten the color a bit.
Hope that helps!
Shari
That’s gorgeous! I hope one day to get that good. Right now I’m just a basic stamper and learning embossing! ;)
Thanks for sharing!
Goodness, this is just gorgeous!
So cool, Shari! Thanks for sharing & for the chance to win!
Fantastic designs and materials, so many ways to creatively use these products…my imagination is whirling!
Warm Wishes is such a gorgeous set! I love how you paired it with the travel images…so versatile!
Okay, I knew I wanted these new mediums from Prima, but now I have to have them, especially the clear gesso and the crackle that you used. Your page is divine.
Great project! Thanks for the videos.
Beautiful project! You are so talented!
Another wonderful design in your journal! I love the Darkroom Door stamps!

Shari, your journal pages are so interesting! So much texture and depth. I love how they are going to open vertically. Happy Stamptember!
I have recently started Art Journaling. I appreciate you having this video online so I can learn more about different techniques. You’ve used some products of which I am not familiar so I will go through the list and see what I need. This is fun, fun, fun! Put me in the contest to win!
I’m really enjoying watching your journal pages! The clear gesso looks very cool and it is great that it is now available. Love the stamps from Darkroom Door as well. Your moody garden background is perfect. Thank you.
This is beautiful! I want to display it on my living room walls! Thanks for the inspiration!
I appreciate you doing art journal videos-I would like to start doing this in the near future
(along with water coloring) and any help and inspiration I can get will do nicely, TFS!
Gorgeous mixed media.
