Springlike Love Card


Hi everyone!

It's me, Susanne, today and this is my first post on the Rubber Dance Blog as a full design team member. I am so happy and proud to be on this talented team. I really love the stamps from Rubber Dance. They are so versatile and high quality. I use them in many of my projects.
So for today I have a springy love card to share with you. I used colors that reflect the muddy and wet but already warm spring feeling.


I used a woodgrain embossing folder for the background and added some Distress Ink Walnut Stain to the paper after I embossed it. I painted the color with a watertank brush all over the background.
The image is stamped with some stamps from the "Vintage Birds" set. I used Distress Inks (Peeled Paint, Spiced Marmalade, Fired Brick and Walnut Stain). The blobs are made with a stencil.

To finish the card I added some embellishments. The leaf comes with the "I love leaves" stamp set from Rubber Dance. I stamped it with Distress Ink Brushed Corduroy and inked it with my ink blending tool in the same color. The "Love" sentiment is from the "Think again" stamp set from Rubber Dance.


That's it for today! Thanks for stopping by.
Susanne.

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

Blog Hoppin' Superpowers

Rubber Dance has gained a following of stampers that love our Sarcasm Superpowers sentiment stamps. These aren't exactly our best seller stamps (not very surprisingly), but if you love them, you'll LOVE them! And this particular group of followers certainly do - not very surprisingly at all with a group name like theirs .... namely the  Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! (I know, right? Too darn cute!) These fine ladies have bullied me and some of my designers into a blog hop featuring our Sarcasm Superpower stamps. It didn't take much persuation, nor any bribes to speak of. Just mention  "challenge", and we'll be all over you like underfed fruitflies on a brown banana. And that's what the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers is all about - a challenge blog with new challenges every other week. Fasten your seat belts and enjoy the bumpy ride! Of course there will be a prize.... if you make it to the end. Here's what I've made for our hop:
