Autumn Artist Trading Block


Hi everyone! It's Susanne today and I'd like to share with you an Artist Trading Block I created it with the gorgeous Leaf Stamps by Rubber Dance. This stamp set is so versatile! I love them and I've never seen any other stamps that are comparable.




I stamped my leaves with VersaMark Ink and used some white detail embossing powder. After that I colored them with my Distress Inks. The embossing creates a resist and that gives the leaves an awesome look!



I decided to use the sentiment "Dream it, Wish it, Do it" on my ATB, because I think it says something really true! It reminds me that you can make your dreams come true if you work for them! The "Do it" is very important in this saying!


I created my backgrounds with some structured orange cardstock, gesso and my chocolate Gelato®. I used different embossing folders, Distress Crackle Paint, and some Orange Peel Stickles and Spiced Marmalad Distress Stickles.




I hope you like the ATB, maybe you'll try the technique with the white embossing. You'll find a tutorial on how to create such an ATB on a previous post I made here.


Have a nice day and don't forget:

Dream it

Wish it

Do it

I'd be very happy if you'd visit my blog.
Susanne


For this ATB, I used stamps from these sets - both from Rubber Dance. Images are reduced - the stamps are much bigger.

Rubber Dance Stamp Challenge - October

Image
Klikk her for info på norsk (info in Norwegian) Hello, gorgeous! Are you ready for another fun challenge? I guess you are! Our colour scheme and theme this month might not come as a big surprise. After all, fall/autumn is all around us (here in the north, anyway), and we do love its glorious colours! We hope you do, too, when you create an entry (or three) for our October Challenge: Did you know that "fall" is an Old English word? It replaced the word 'harvest' in the early 1600s as more people started moving into cities. City dwellers began to use the phrase 'fall of the leaf'' and, over time, the phrase was shortened to fall. Surprisingly, etymologists don’t know where the word "autumn" comes from. It was used as far back at the 1300s (by Chaucer), and Shakespeare often used the word, too. As English spread to the New World, the common season names split as well and today, American English uses the word fall while British English

Easel Card With Textured Flowers

Image
Hello.  Welcome.  Gail from the design team here today with a project using the new Textured Flowers stamps.  I loved these the moment I saw them.  Big beautiful blooms.  And many small er stamps for adding leaves and texture.   I decided to make a Twisted Easel Card.  There are many tutorials available but I used this one by Lois.  So here's my card using Textured Flowers and of course, a giraffe .......... I was inspired by the Rubber Dance challenge colours which for June are: I stamped the large simple daisy, masked and stamped two more.  I added the giraffe from African Animals .  I think I'll call her Daisy. I thought it looked a bit empty so I stamped more daisies...... and coloured with distress and d y e inks.  I stamped and embossed three of the doodled flowers and the giraffe, fussy cut and added them to my panel.  I used brads and a Cheery Lynn die cut for the flower centers.  I also doodled a little faux stitching
