2017 #4 Little Door {by Kim Dellow}

2017 Topic 4: Doors, Windows, Architecture

It's a bit of a treat when one of our Stamp Designers drops in to share their ideas with us all. Today we are treated to a splash of Kim Dellow colour. Kim creates in a style that see's her re-cycling, re-inventing, re-purposing, and there is often a bold pop of colour in the mix too. Enjoy.

Hi Guys, Kim Dellow here today with my Architecture-themed project. I thought it would be fun to mix some different styles into this grungy make. 

So I used the vintage style HP1601...

... and paired it with the more illustrative style of my own set EKD06. (stockists here)

It's fun to mix styles in the same piece, for the grunge look I wanted it to be quite raw and messy and used a black modeling paste through parts of the retro PS040 mask.

I also loved the idea of having something interactive so cut out the HP1601 door and layered it so that it would open and close as needed.

So that I could place something hidden behind the door I built up dimension with cardboard.

There is something enticing about little secret doors isn't there? Hope you have fun making your own secret door project. Do come by my blog to leave me a link to your latest secret door make. Or you can tag me on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter and don't forget I am posting videos regularly to my YouTube channel too!

See you soon!

Kim
