Hello everyone!
Anna-Karin here with a card using the new
Eclectic Lamp Post stamp. I have always liked old lamp posts and this one is gorgeous. Use it to build a little scene or, for example, for Christmas cards.
I decided to make a travel pop-up card.
This is the inside of the card, stamped with various Darkroom Door stamps. I love the images on the
New York Vol. 1 and
Vol. 2 sets and thought they fit well together with the lamp post - as does many of the stamps from the other city stamp sets and paper products. I used the new Wendy Vecchi Archival Inks on this card.
The lamp post takes centre stage on the suitcase pop-up. It was stamped with Jet Black ink and Wild Honey Distress Ink was used to make it shine. The suitcase was die cut a second time with the coordinating Suitcase die, from kraft-core cardstock. It was sanded and stamped with a script stamp from New York Vol. 2. The little ticket was stamped with a sentiment stamp from
Nomad.
The bridge was stamped with Watering Can, which is a great alternative to using black ink. Various other stamps from the two New York sets were stamped on top. The background was inked with Antique Linen and Gathered Twigs.
The front part of the pop-up was stamped with a sentiment stamp from Nomad, again using the grey ink. The
Brick Wall was stamped with Cornflower Blue, to make it look like the sentiment was graffiti on a wall. More stamping was done on top and I also added an arrow, a little tag and a bark butterfly.
This is the front of the card, with a door stamp from
New York Vol. 2, stamped with the grey ink. The lamp post is repeated on the front too, as well as many of the stamps used on the inside.
This is a beautiful ornate vintage lamp post. I wish I could look out on one of these from my window.
Thank you for looking! Happy Stamping!
Anna-Karin
