Love how she's used the Journal stamp as a decorative piece! All of the elements look fabulous together here... thanks for sharing Melissa!!!!

It's been a busy and fun week here at Darkroom Door... sending orders out, designing some new product, and we're starting to work on our 2010 traveling schedule... it's all go go go! 

There's more to come from Melissa too... so stay tuned for that! I'm so grateful she has created for us... it's all so yummy!

Inkurable Stampers Music Challenge

Inkurable Stampers is another great challenge site... and you can even win prizes!!! Woo hoo! This months theme is 'Music'. We have an entire Music Collection including four stamp sets, so there's certainly no shortage of music stamps here to play with :)

Sarah has shown a few of my Music samples on the Inkurable Blog here. I also wanted to show you another quick ATC I have created with a Music theme:

Supplies:
Darkroom Door Rubber Stamps: Melody (Flute Lady), Chorus (Quote)
Darkroom Door Paper: Allegro
Ink: Archival Jet Black
Stickles: Black Diamond

I stamped the Flute Lady onto the Allegro paper (this paper is fabulous for stamping onto!) and mounted it onto black ATC sized cardstock. Edged with the Stickles (allow to dry!). The quote was also stamped onto Allegro paper, trimmed to different sections and mounted onto the ATC with foam tape.

If you'd like to take part in the Music Challenge, head over to the Inkurable Stampers blog for more details! We're sponsoring the challenge by giving away a Rockstar stamp set to one lucky stamper :) Woo hoo - go forth, create some music!

Buddies Layout

Quick layout created with the Robots Journal, Stripe and Dots papers:

I've also used Mustard Seed Crackle Paint for the big star, then sponged over the top with other dark ink. (a mixture of whatever was on the sponge! There was a bit of Crimson, Olive and Vintage Photo).
