Hello, Eli here again today, so as promised last week here is some more inspiration for you using Kerri-Ann’s beautiful Darkness Within stamp set. Todays blog is going to be a little step by step mixed media card and a few other samples using the same products but if different ways.

Method 

  1. I started this card by prepping my card with Gesso. Once this had dried I started to build up layers of colour with my brayer, starting with my lightest colours first centrally and then applying my darker colours to the outside edges.

  1. I chose two of the colours I had previously used and stencilled circles from Imagine Design Creates Circles and Squares stencil. After these had dried I doodled around them with my white gel gen to make them pop from the background. I used the same stencil and my white gesso to create the lines on my card too.

  1. I stamped the wings with Onyx Black Versafine ink and allowed this to dry before doodling on them with my white gel pen to bring out the detail against my background. I used this method for the I Believe stamp too.

  1.  The sentiment was stamped onto white card and glued with mat medium before being outlined with black acrylic paint.

  1. I finished the card off with a little glitter before matting onto black card and onto a 7x7 white card blank.

I enjoyed making this card so much I made a Art Tag and decorated a Art Journal in the same stamp set and colourways too.
