Decorated Canvas by Steph Ackerman


Hi everyone, Steph here with my first blog post as a DT member for Rubber Dance.  I love these red rubber stamps.  They are very detailed and stamp beautifully each and every time I use them.

Today I want to share a mini canvas I created with Rubber Dance stamps.



I started by first inking the canvas with 3 colors of Clearsnap chalk ink - blue for the sky, cream for the center and tan for the ground:



Next, I used the Sea Mesh stamp, inking it first with Candied Yam Chalk Ink and stamping the canvas.  I then inked the stamp again with Chestnut Roan Chalk Ink and stamped over the first image:



The Retro Beach sentiment was stamped on a scrap of paper and the Sea Mesh stamp was stamped lightly on top of the sentiment, both with Blush Rose Chalk.  I then tore it, inked it and added it to the canvas with foam adhesives for dimension:


Finally, I stamped the Retro Beach sea shells in black ink across the bottom of the canvas.

All the stamps used for this project are from the set called BM1-L: Retro Beach, and can be found on this page: http://rubberdance.com/beach.html

Thanks for stopping by today.

Birthday Card by Susanne

Image
Hi my dear crafty friends. Susanne writing today and I like to share this birthday card. It was for my father in law. He goes fishing to Norway every year. So nothing would have been better than a fishy card created with norwegian Rubber Stamps! I stamped the two fishes from the "Something Fishy" set with jet black Archival Ink and covered it with masking fluid. As soon as the fluid was dry I created the background with Distress Inks. I picked Peacock Feathers and Mermaid Lagoon. I used a piece of acetate to apply the color onto my background. First I pressed the ink pad onto my craft mat, added a little bit of water and picked the color up with the acetate. So I have more control instead of laying the paper directly onto the color. I added the fish-hook with a black fine liner. My little fishes are colored with Twinkling H2Os. Unfortunately it's doesn't look shimmery on the photo. I used the sentiment from the Happy Birthday set. Thanks for stopping by to...

Cardmaking With Flowers By Dot

Image
Hello everyone, It's Dot here today with a cardmaking tutorial for you that uses some of our new stamps. Have you noticed how gorgeous the new stamps from Rubber Dance are this year? I have found that they work really well with the rest of the designs too. This card uses a few of the colours and themes from our August Mood Board. Are you ready for a step-x-step for you on how this card came together? Here we go ... The background has been made by swiping white card through distress ink that was on my craft sheet. Then a little tone-on-tone stenciling was added which brings out the colours even more. The smallest bee from Buzzy Bees was stamped and masked before adding this gorgeous flower from Inky Flowers behind it. The same idea was repeated into the top corner. The Inky Flowers stamp set has a couple of really pretty buds  which came in handy to add more detail to the bottom corner. More texture has been added to the background to give a little more depth. This is done throug...

Cardmaking with Dot

Image
Hi everyone, It's Dot here today to share a card with you that I really enjoyed making. The Mood Board for this month has been my inspiration.  I've used one of the colours and the birds as inspiration. Are you ready to have a go at making this?  Here we go ... Step 1:  You need   a stamping platform for this step.  Ink and stamp out the largest leaf with some brown and green oxides until you are happy with the colours.  Leave the middle un-inked so that you can pop an image in there. Step 2:   Next, a couple of masks are needed. The first mask that you need is where you cut the leaf in one piece, about 2 mm  larger than the stamped image itself. As in the pic above. This gives you a negative mask. Then cut out a separate, normal mask.  Simply stamp the image and fussy cut the image about 2 mm in from the outer edge. Step 3:   Place the negative mask over the stamped leaf.  You'll be...
