I just treated myself to some new stamps including Under the Sea from Darkroom Door. It's my first Darkroom Door purchase but I'm sure it won't be my last! The stamps are wonderfully detailed and the quality is great. There are quite a few places that stock them in the UK too so no hanging around for post to arrive from down under, even though they're an Australian company.I stamped the seahorse and coloured with Copics then masked it and used Post-It notes to mask off a rectangle and sponged blue inks in there. A teeny weeny birthday sentiment finishes it off and I have a masculine and easy-to-mail card ready to go!
Stamps:
Under the Sea (Darkroom Door)
Sentiment from Kinkade Birthday Expressions (CHF, retired)
Paper:
Smooth white
Ink:
Adirondack dye ink by Ranger (Espresso, Cloudy Blue, Stonewashed, Denim)
Other:
Copic markers
Thanks for stopping by!

Gorgeous card Joanne, love the colouring and the simplicity of it.
it is beautiful, and your colouring of the seahorse is lovely!
really like how the blue graduates upwards...just adore it!
Hi there, love your card, simple and perfect. Absolutely great for a male card:0) xx
Fabulous I have far more success with this technique than the inkpad (made a real hash of that - pressed too hard - just reread and you did warn us not to - LOL - must pay more attention)
Your seahorse card is totally gorgeous.

GORGEOUS card! I love that seahorse and the blue rectangle is awesome...it really makes the seahorse pop...and grounds him! Fabulous masculine card!
Ditto what Susan said. PERFECT card! Simple but not easy, I'm sure, especially because fussy-cutting masks is a pain in the neck, though I know some people enjoy it.
What an extraordinary card! It is so beautiful! Love the seahorse and your coloring is fab! That blue rectangle behind the seahorse is stunning!
Yet another gorgeous design Joanne! I've been eyeing up those new DD stamps too! x

Your card is beautiful......the graduation in the blue is perfect behind this 'U-Beaut' Aussie Stamp!!!!!! Good to hear DD are available in the UK. Oh and I understand the frustrations of postage very well......
This is so gorgeous, Joanne!! I have been wanting Darkroom Door stamps and you've tempted me beyond my resistance now, I think! Beautiful.
Gorgeous colours, & a beautiful design :)
