The Doorway by Amanda Southern

I have another card this week featuring some of the new
stamps and stencils from PaperArtsy along with some old favourites.
Here’s What I Did:-
As
always I start by making my background which is Distress inks applied to
inkable card. I then lightly sprayed some water onto it and then removed the
water by rolling a roll of kitchen roll over it. I then built up my background.
I stamped the row of numbers over the Distress ink background using only water,
let it sit there a few seconds and then rolled my kitchen roll over to remove
the diluted ink. You can never be sure of the result you get but you can see
this straight down the middle of my card, the others are more subtle.
You can see the effect the water has on this close up,
the splashes and the water stamping.
the splashes and the water stamping.
I then
stamped on the door using Ranger Cool Graphite dye ink pad, I didn’t use black
as I wanted a slightly more softer look. I then stamped the door again onto a Post It note using the ink left on the stamp, cut out and used as a mask to
then stencil the face using distress ink. I added some background stamped
details also in Distress ink. I then
stencilled on some numbers, using what I am sure is going to become a favourite new Dinky stencil. I then stamped the large flower using Archival Watering Can
and coloured using coloured pencils. I repeat stamped the sentiment around the
card. At this point I felt it still needed something, so to bring in more of
the green from the stem of the flower I added further stencilling again using
one of the new releases from PaperArtsy. I then double matted my image, firstly
onto black and then a green that matched the green in my image.
What I Used:-
Distress Inks – Wild Honey, Pumice Stone, Weathered wood, Hickory Smoke & Peeled
Paint
