Make A Wish



Hello! My name is Sam and I'm so excited to be guest designing for Rubber Dance this month :)
I've chosen to work with the wonderful stamp set Affirmations which you can find right {here} at the Rubber Dance shop.

I just love to make small decorations to hang around my home and make it pretty so I began this little project by cutting a star shape from a piece of mount board. Mount board is a fantastic base to work on it's very sturdy and accepts a lot of different mediums beautifully and it's super smooth.

I applied some modelling paste through a stencil to get some texture then I painted my star with black gesso and then white gesso where the colours were going to be. (The coloured paints I used are Martha Stewart paints and the colours are: Pond. Rubber Ducky and Raspberry Ice). Doing this keeps the colours bright and they pop off the black background. I stamped 'make a wish' three times on white tissue paper and pva'd in place. The tissue paper dries invisible. A great technique for textured surfaces which you can't stamp on to directly. 'WISH' was stamped on white card and cut out and glued in place.


To finish I added glossy accents over the large letters and some glitter and star sequins. Also a little black star also cut from mount board.
I do hope you like it!
Wishing you a lovely day. Sam :)

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:
