Time for our monthly Product Focus with
Artistic Outpost and this month we are showcasing imagery from the
Storybook Themes range of stamps.
I decided to work with the fabulous
Huck Finn stamp set this week showcasing the imagery on a die cut matchbox and coordinated accordion card.
I coloured the background of each piece with DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylics Dark Grey Value 3 and Titanium White, blending the colours with a baby wipe. I then applied Carbon Black Acrylic to the edge of a lid and stamped the lid onto the layered piece on the matchbox, adding shading to the circle with Gelatos. I then stamped the focal image onto the card and added delicate splatters of Titanium White paint. I also added decorative tissue tape around the edge of the matchbox.
The accordion card was also coloured with the same paint colours and once again I added painted circles randomly around the card. I then added the imagery from the Huck Finn stamp set to the accordion using Black Archival Ink.
I added shading to the circles using Gelatos, adding a black Gelato around the circle for added shading and definition. I also applied grey Gelatos to the surrounding areas of the circles to add more definition and layers of colour.
For added interest I added scratch lines with an old credit card and Titanium White Fluid Acrylic along with delicate splatters. I also stamped the text, Dream, Discover and Explore, again from the Hick Finn stamp set.

A Lovely project Tracy. I'm a huge fan of monochromatic . YOur accordian card is fab with all those stunning images x
I saw this in the email and loved it! The way you have brought the mixed media elements in is brilliant!
I really love this Tracy. Those images are fabulous. I read and reread Huck Finn when I was younger. Love it. Your project does justice to that memory especially when I remember the black and white film of the book. I love the gelato circles. I'm going to try that!
Great project, so much to see.
Fabulous use of the Huck Finn collection! Love the monochromatic feel on both the matchbox and accordion card.
Monochrome Magic!

So much detail! Love the background on the card and matchbox. It really sets off the stamping. Beautiful!!
Great project, Tracy! I admire your attention to detail and composition.
Very much in love with this - probably my new favourite. The monochrome look is just wonderful with the illustrations and your beautiful painted circles work so brilliantly with words or without. Utterly lovely work.
