Imagine, Dream, Explore and Create Art journal page with video tutorial by Gerry

Hi lovely Rubber Dance friends, today I have another page for my mini album with Rubber Dance stamps Textured Flowers and Mix a Sentiment. 

I used a mix of Ranger ink Distress Oxide and Archival ink in combination with embossing powder.

The Textured Flowers set is so versatile that you don't need anything else to make a fun art journal page, card or other project. The Distress Oxide that I used.

I turned a little mistake into an accent on my page.

For the sentiment or title on my page I used the super fun Mix a Sentiment. A stamp you will love and use over and over for your papercrafting especially for art journaling and if you like words and word strips.

And I have a video tutorial for you that you can watch HERE

Thanks for stopping by and make sure to keep on Crafting!

More Art Journal Pages in the Happy Journal by Evelyn

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

May be you´ve seen my Happy Journal I made with the beautiful Rubber Dance stamps. I also started to fill the pages with life.

I really love to work in this little journal, it´s such a nice size.

Here are my next pages.

For this pages I used my new Mermaid Markers from Jane Davenport to create the background. I randomly spreat different colors to the pages, spritzed with water and let them run. 

To tone down everything and to add more texture I added white Gesso to the surface and took parts of it off using a stencil and a baby wipe.

I stamped the circles from the Grungy Stuff stamp set with black Archival ink on both edges, colored them with the same colors I used on the background and doodled with a white Posca pen. From the same stamp set I used my beloved grungy circles, which I stamped with Garden Patina Archival ink to the background.

Next I used the Doodle Flowers stamp set. I stamped the leaves with black Archival ink to the background and colored in some of the leaves with a white stabilo all. The flower I stamped on white cardstock and cut it out. Then I glued it to the page.

I cut out the words `Sound of nature´, they are from the new Mix a Sentiment stamp. This stamp is utterly gorgeous, I love it! To make the words stand out a bit more, I surrounded them with a black stabilo all pencil and activated it with water.

Stamps I used:

        

...............oh, do you remember the page I made for the challenge start this month?

I made the left side of this double page, fitting to the right, and I wanted to share this with you too.

Stamps I used:

Vintage Scrip

Think again

Don't forget about our challenge, which goes until the end of the month. Join in with it, there are still some days left!

You'll find it in the Facebook Rubber Dance Stamping Lounge and its  those three colors you see below or anything goes with Rubber Dance stamps.

Fish Swim with Suzi

Good Day All, Today it's my pleasure to share with you another project I've created using the wonderful Red Rubber Stamps by Rubber Dance Stamps.  For Today's project I used the super cute 'Fish Swim Love' set of stamps; I've combined them with a background I created on a Round Gelli Plate with Paint Pens.

Here's a peek at my finished card;

First of all I'd like to show you how I created the background scene for my Fishes.  I used a Round Gelli Plate along with a selection of Posca Paint Pens.

The first layer in green,

Then pale blue,

Followed by dark blue,

The Final Layer of Paint Pens in brown and black.

I then sponged on a layer of Prussian Blue, Cerulean Blue and Titanium White blended together.

Finally I pulled my print to reveal my background scene.

I then stamped out some Fish, A large one onto a piece of Yellow Gelli Print, and the small fish I stamped in orange, pink and purple.

Next I die cut a Porthole shape from some silver mirri card,

Now It was time to start putting my card together.  I took a white card blank, and added a gelli print background, followed by my background scene with porthole, and a few brads to represent fittings.

I then added my Fish and Sentiment.

To Fish my card I added some shading to all the elements using a Koh-I-Noor Progresso Aquelle Pencil, which once activated with water gives a lovely dark grey shadow.  I also added the same shadow detail all around the card to frame.

Here's a close up,

I love how this all came together.  Creating the Scene on the Gelli Plate was great fun, and I do love those cute little Fish.  I hope you've enjoyed seeing how I created my project, It was a pleasure to share it with you.

That's all from me, Happy Crafting

Bye for Now

Butterfly Girl Distress Crayons Card by Dot

Hi everyone,
It's Dot here with a fun card for you that uses Distress Crayons, a little Distress Ink and some fabulous Rubber Dance stamps.

The background for this is made with Distress Crayons using the colours from this month's challenge over on facebook.

After you've covered your card thinly with white gesso, the crayons are so easy to blend together with a damp finger. Then all you do is take some crayon off with a stencil and baby wipe, and add some colour on through the stencil.

The sentiment is one that I've put together myself using the Mix A Sentiment stamp set.

It was easy to stamp the whole sheet and then cut out the words that I wanted to use. I LOVE this 

stamp set! I'll stamp up some more of these so that I've got them ready to use.

Weed Love has some dandelion stamps in the set and they were perfect for the Butterfly Girl to fly around.

I was watching Gerry's recent video, here, and she showed a wonderful way to use the Grungy Borders stamp, so I decided to give it a go as part of the edging on my card. It worked a treat!!!  Thanks Gerry for a great tip.

The Butterfly Girl #2 was so easy to do too! I simply stamped the image and swiped her through some distress ink on my craft sheet.  The way that I kept her body 'un-inked' was to hold my fingers over that part of the image.  The ink only goes onto the wings this way.  Then cut her out.

Stamps Used Are:

   

Other Products Were:

Distress Crayons

Distress Ink

I hope you've enjoyed this card.

Don't forget to check out our facebook group and the monthly challenges.
Even if you don't enter the challenge (which has awesome prizes - just saying), there are still some amazing inspiration and ideas for you to see.

Happy Stamping!

Fish Birthday with Cornelia

Hi Everyone,

Cornelia here today, playing with that funny fish from the Fish diet set.

My Stamp supplies:

Fish Diet, Funny Birthday

 Such great sets, love them both!

And that's how I made this card:

I stamped the fish and heat embossed him with clear embossing powder.

Colored him with a combination of Kaleidocolor inks and Stabilo markers.

It's just easier to color, when you heat embossed it - less coloring outside the lines ;)

I added the sentiment and some Washi tape. Trimmed the card and added a piece of glitzi paper on the side.

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

You'll find it in the Facebook Rubber Dance Stamping Lounge and its  those three colors you see below or anything goes with Rubber Dance stamps.

Happy Rubber Dancing!

Friends Fur-ever Artist Trading Cards by Gail

Hello Rubber Dance friends.  I hope you are having a wonderful Sunday.  Gail here and I have been playing with the oh so cute Friends Fur-ever set and made some mixed media Artist Trading Cards.

I used a That's Crafty! stencil and Broken China distress ink on a sheet of card.

Then I bumped the stencil and used Chipped Sapphire distress ink.  I stamped with black archival and the Marble stamp through the stencil to add texture.

I cut the ATC's using a die and stamped with Burlap stamp and white ink.  I used the stamp off-block so I could just add some random textured stripes.  I stamped the dogs from Friends Fur-ever three times, coloured with Promarkers and fussy cut them.

I stamped and embossed a variety of sentiments, cut them out and added them and the dogs to the ATC bases.  

Hope you like my project.  There is still time to join the monthly challenge in our facebook group

You can use the colours and/or anything goes.  Join the fun and link up your makes using Rubber Dance stamps in the Rubber Dance Stamping Lounge and also in the Forever Challenge here on the blog.  Looking forward to seeing your projects.  Hugz
