A journal spread tutorial with Beautiful bugs stamp by Saadia Nawaz

Hi everyone, 

Saadia here:

I want to share with a journal page with you. I hope you like it. 

Unfortunately I forgot to take step by step pictures but I will try to describe all the steps. 

 I applied a coat of white gesso to a page in my Dylusions square journal. After that, I  applied blue and green acrylic paints through a stencil by Dylusions.

Next step was, background stamping with Archival inks. I used Art defined stamp set and Grungy stuff stamp set for background stamping. 

Stamped small dragonflies from Beautiful bugs  stamp set. I stamped them at 3 sites with Archival ink. 

Next, I stamped the quote from Think again  stamp set.

That's all for now. 

A reminder that we have a challenge that goes all month on our face book page which you can find Here.

It is always ANYTHING GOES/ or a colour combo if you wish

Thank you for visiting. 

Take care and keep crafting. 

Saadia Nawaz.

I made a background using Brushos and Color Bursts. I then stamped the Doodle Flowers in similar colors onto my card base. I stamped the butterflies and cut them on my Scan N Cut. Assembled the card. The sentiment dies are by STAMPlorations.

Don't forget about our challenge, which goes until the end of the month. Play along, if you find time!

"Live simply, bloom wildly" by Angie Coomber

Hello again!

I'm so happy to be able to show you another one of my project. This art journal page is inspired by Tracy Scott, whose style I really admire.

To begin with I covered the page with some vintage ephemera (old book pages, scrapbook papers - whatever you have in your stash) and glued everything down with gel medium.

Next I painted the page with acrylic paints - pink, turquoise, lime green and a touch of white for blending.

I then added a little bit of background stamping using black Archival Ink,

followed by a little bit of white stencilling.

Next I stamped and embossed some of the flowers from the Rubber Dance Antique Botanicals set onto white card and cut them out.

I added some mark making using various small bottle lids. I used the pink paint and some gold paint for this as well as the paint splatter.

Finally I adhered the stamped flowers as well as a typed quote.

I'd love to hear what you think! Thank you for looking, hope to see you again sometime.

Big hugs,
Angie x

Tag with a Grungy Butterfly by Evelyn

Hello lovely Rubber Dancer, it´s Evelyn here today!

I am sitting in front of my caravan while writing this post. I´m in my holidays in Italy and - call me crazy - I have brought some of my art supplies with me. So I can spend some time in the morning, before I go to the beach, and some time in the evening, creating lovely things 😋😉😊.

This time I made a tag with one of the gorgeous Grungy Butterflies. I really love them and want to use them all the time!

I started with a tag and glued down snippets of old book pages and a lot of diecut gears. Then I added white Gesso and white crackle paint and let it dry.

I sprinkled the Magicals from the Industrial Chic set, starting with the lightest color, and spritzed carefully with water. So I added one after the other color. When the colors were dry, I dabbed white Gesso onto some parts of the colored tag to lighten it up.

Next I stamped the beautiful Grungy Butterflies with black ink, colored them with acrylic paints and gave the big one a coat of glitter with a clear Wink of Stella brush pen.  Then I fussy cut them. In the end I only used the big butterfly.

Now I stamped the Mix a Sentiment stamp randomly over the tag.

To enhance the structure, I rubbed golden wax over the gears. 

For the words I needed, I stamped the Mix a Sentiment stamp on white cardstock, colored the words I wanted to use and cut them out.

I put some brads in the tag and wrapped some rusty wire around.

Now some black and white splatters...

...and then it was time to put everything together. I colored some lace and distressed a piece of cheesecloth before I glued it down with the beautiful butterfly. Now I only had to glue down the words, do some shading, add some glitter here and there, frame the tag with black ink - and it was ready!

Well, now I will enjoy my last days of holidays and I hope you like my tag!

Oh, and don´t forget about our challenge, there is still time to join in with!  Facebook Rubber Dance Stamping Lounge

Summer Flowers

Hello Rubber Dance friends.  Gail here today with a summery flowery card using the challenge colours of blue, green and persimmon.

I used stamps from Bold and Beautiful, Happy Birthday, and the Violinist

I started by stamping my card base with Salty Ocean and Twisted Citron distress ink pads.  

Then I stamped the large and small Chrysanthemum stamps from the Bold and Beautiful set all over the card using Salty Ocean distress ink.

I stamped the Violinist with black archival ink.

I cut three tags.  Coloured two with Salty Ocean and one with Ripe Persimmon, stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment and used a pretty flower brad to attach them to my card.

 Our monthly challenges are now based in our FB fan group.  The colours for the June challenge are Ocean Blue, Green and Ripe Persimmon and/or you can go for the Anything Goes theme.  Link up your makes using the colours and/or anything goes using Rubber Dance stamps and you might be the lucky grab bag winner.
