Fly Free with Rubber Dance birds




Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my monthly Rubber Dance post.
 This is Irit here and I hope to inspire you a bit with my Spring colors.
This time I am going to share two  new art journal pages pages with A LOT of Rubber Dance stamps.
This is a Spring time here and around this half of the world. So Spring and birds and flowers are the must when you are in this bright and high mood as I was when I made those art pages.
First the art journal pages were covered with liquid gesso and when it was dry I added some texture with Tando masks and texture paste. The flowers  were added mostly on the right side and the arrows on the left, but then I added some flowers on the right side and wiped them so you just can see the down colors.
I made a big piece of Gelli print paper with acrylic paints and then stamped RD A little birdie... stamps over this mono print paper and hand cut them to glue over the page.
The rows of birds were stamped on the top of the page with black permanent ink and a few feathers- not really, the pine tree branches from Pines Fir Yew set- were added here and there on the bottom.
Then I added a few stamped branches from the same stamp set  and this Dream it, Wish it , Do it sentiment from Think Again set.

As the last touch I added FLY FREE stamped on the top and painted inside.
The whole page was misted, painted and covered with a lot of gel medium.




I really like the colors of the finished page and those stamp sets are the MUST when you make your Spring art journal pages.



Stamps from Rubber Dance used on this project:

Thank you, Irit! The colours are soooo pretty, a real spring/summer feeling. Fun to see how you have used the bird stamps, and I also like the texture made with stencils. Yummyummy spread! :)

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: ...

Altered Chipboard Butterfly + Giveaway

Image
Message in Norwegian : Hvis du foretrekker å lese dette innlegget på norsk, kan du gjøre det og samtidig bli med på giveawayen på den andre bloggen vår ved å klikke her. Hello everyone! Bibi here today with a fun project, using the Totem Monarch Poppet chipboard from EyeConnect Crafts . I had such a blast with this and I hope what I've made will inspire you to make something similar. The difference between the chipboards from EyeConnect Crafts and others ones I've seen out there, is that they are made to connect (hence the name). There are two categories, one called Lace-Ups which you bind together using ribbons, string, lace, etcetera and another category of chipboards with smaller holes so you can connect the pieces using tiny eyelets or brads. This is what it looks like. The pieces are laser cut, and you easily remove them from the base - save that part and use it as a stencil for another project. Notice there is also a chipboard of the butterfly's...
