Art Journey & DarkRoom Door Hop!

This week the Art Journey Design Team and the Darkroom Door Design Team are hopping together all week. That means 5 days of fabulous artistic inspiration!  For all the details go to the Darkroom Door blog or the Art Journey Blog.

I decided a series of ATC's would be a fun way to mix in the different stamps and give me a chance to play with all of the different images.

My first ATC used a misted background in yellows and grays which inspired the colors on the card.  I stamped the beautiful Art Journey Baroque Swirl using the Ranger Archival - Watering Can around the edges.  I added the clock form the Darkroom Door Tick Tock set along with the sentiment.  I finished the ATC with a pair of butterflies from the Darkroom Door Butterfly Collage.

My next couple of ATC's were inspired by the Art Journey - Postcard stamps.   I started with a leftover piece of inky background created with shaving cream.  I stamped the bird and the postmark onto part of the inky cardstock. I cut an ATC sized piece of the background.  I stamped the postmark along with the postcard using the same gray ink.  I cut out the bird and the letter along with the postmark to pop dot and attach to the front of the ATC.  I stamped the pencils and pen nibs from the Darkroom Door Vintage Office along the sides.  I added highlights using Signo White Gel Pen.

This ATC went back to the first background of yellow and gray glimmer mists.  I stamped the Post Card images first and added the image of the little girl writing her letter.  I added the pen nibs along the bottom and a few more splotches of inks around the edges. 

For my final ATC I switched up my accent color and used the pretty Ranger Archival Ink - Cornflower to stamp some of the images and the Versafine Toffee.

The background is a mix of stamped images from Darkroom Door Tick Tock, Vintage Office and New York Volume II along with the Art Journey Postcard set.
