Getting ready for our Thursday Release

By Karen Fothergill

Colourful owl-eye cards layered with script and mixed-media textures on a craft mat
A little peek at the inspiration: colourful layers, expressive details and some very watchful owls.

The countdown is on

We’re getting ready for our release on Thursday, 17 September, and we can’t wait to share it with you.

After the excitement of our first Shop Unlimited show, our attention is turning to the next moment in Darkroom Door’s story. With Thursday just around the corner, we wanted to share a few of the samples that are getting us excited to create.

Think expressive details, playful layers and plenty of colour. Whether you enjoy making cards or experimenting with mixed media, we hope these photographs spark a few ideas for your own craft table.

Darkroom Door release

A closer look

A little inspiration before Thursday.

These samples pair striking stamped details with colourful backgrounds. The red panda sample takes a softer direction, with washes of yellow and green framing the stamped image.

And then there are those eyes! Set against layers of colour, script and texture, they give each card a different character. It’s a lovely reminder of how a change of palette or background can take a stamped image in a completely new direction.

See you on Thursday

Ready for the next chapter?

We’re so excited to bring this release to you. Thank you for being part of the journey and for sharing our enthusiasm as we find our feet with new shows, new stories and more creative inspiration.

We can’t wait to see what you make.
