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!

Great pages – love seeing new ways to use my Dylusions inks!
Love your journal page. I especially live seeing you use the different mediums. I have bought a few supplies to work on my own journal but I’m still testing the waters as I figure them all out. I do think I need some paste/ gels to add in texture. It’s overwhelming at first as there are so many different types.
Love love the mixed media!;) and i would so buy whats on the picture if it were to be a kit!!!
Thank you so much for an opportunity to win some awesome stamps :)
This is great! I like learning new things to do with my supplies!!
