Today I choose to be happy

Hi my dear crafty friends.

It's Susanne today and I like to share this fresh card with you. It's really easy to make.


The background is embossed with a Sizzix Embossing Folder. I colored it with Distress Ink Crushed Olive and a watertank brush. I added some black splatters with an acrylic spray. For the left upper corner I used  a piece of white cardstock that I stamped with the Old Book Page stamp from Rubber Dance. I tore it to the right size and cut some negative shapes with a tiny bird, an arrow and a heart die. The gorgeous sentiment "today I choose to be happy" is embossed with black embossing powder.
I stamped the Bird with Distress Ink Barn Door and Pumice Stone. The body of the bird and it's feet are inked up seperately. I cut it out and adhered it with the branch to the card. That's it. Very easy.



It's the first  time I am posting in 2016 on the Rubber Dance Blog! So I wish you all a Happy New Year. See you soon and happy crafting, Susanne.

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
