Darkroom Door has released many gorgeous new products this past week. The 'Bright Blossoms' Collection is stunning and I've had a lovely time playing with some of the paper products to create these two ATC's.
The images are beautiful and I decided to keep the composition of each
ATC quite simple, so as to enhance the floral images from 'Bright
Blossoms Montage'.
I sprayed the white textured card with Glimmer Mist (Jingle Bells).
When dry I added a thick layer of gesso around the edge of the ATC and
did the same with the floral image. I also swiped gesso randomly on
both pieces.
I layered glassine paper (painted randomly with gesso), vintage lace and
a section of 'Bright Blossoms' wordstrip onto the ATC. I stitched each
end of the wordstrip in place and then sewed a pearl button to complete
the ATC.
When making this second ATC, I sprayed white textured card with Chalkboard Glimmer Mist (Astrids), added a little Versa Magic ink (Pretty Petunia) to add depth of colour and then dabbed a small amount of gesso onto it. I also swiped gesso around the edge of floral image and set aside to dry.
I layered the floral image, a section of 'Bright Blossoms' wordstrip and
glassine paper (painted randomly with gesso). Finally I stitched lace
and pearl button to complete the ATC.
The Darkroom Door products I used for this project:
Here's an ATC I've created using some of Darkroom Door's new Sydney paper products combined with their Photography stamp set.
I layered some vintage numerical table paper onto an ATC sized card and
roughly covered it with gesso. When dry, I stamped the quote from the
photography stamp set onto the left hand side of the ATC with black ink
and stamped the filmstrip edge with Brilliance pearlescent gamma green
ink on the right hand edge.
Next I layered some silk fabric scraps and a section of the Sydney Vol 2 filmstrip,
stitching the image into place with orange thread and stamepd the word
'proof' with gamma green ink onto the image. I then sewed a section of
the Sydney wordstrip onto the ATC and added additional stitching around the edges of the card to complete it.
Darkroom Door products I have used for this project:
When I saw these images I knew the first thing I wanted to do was to create a postcard, as Sydney is a destination I'd love to visit again... soon! It's been way to long since I've been there!
I started with a slightly textured white card (postcard size) and stamped the 'World Map' background
stamp onto it using VersaMark watermark ink. Then I swiped over the
card with 'neutral grey' Pan Pastels. I then stamped the 'light value
metre' from the 'Photography' stamp set twice on the background with black ink.
Using the 'Sydney Vol 1' stamp set,
I stamped the 'Sydney definition' onto a scrap of grey scrapbooking
paper with black ink (stitching it into place onto the postcard with
black thread) and stamped the name 'Sydney' onto the postcard using red
ink. I continued to stitch around the edges of the postcard with black
and red threads.
Next I layered an image from the Sydney montage sheet and two images from the Sydney Vol 1 filmstrip,
along with two vintage postage stamps, sewing things into place as I
went along. For the final touch I added two small sections of ribbon,
some blank filmstrip and a section from the Sydney wordstrip to the postcard.
