Hello Helmar friends! JJ here with an art journal page I created to team Helmar up with Darkroom Door this week. I was delighted to get a chance to work with these great stamps, but since I've never been to New York, I knew a scrapbook page wasn't the route for me. So I decided to let my geek side show, with this Doctor Who themed page.
I started with a painted / textured background and added an image transfer. Then I added a lot of stamping with the bridge stamp and some of the iconography. I used 450 Quick Dry to adhere the Darkroom Door clip art because it's quite thick and my page was 'lumpy'.
The Statue of Libery stamp was too good to obscure on the background, so I stamped it on smooth cardstock and added it as a collage element, with the Decoupage. I really can't get over the quality of these stamps. I'm not a skilled stamper, and I was able to get terrific results:
I also used the Decoupage to seal all the clip art and letter stickers.
