Rubber Dance meets StarTrish Design!


Hello everyone! It's Bibi here today to show you some awesome stamps that are NOT from Rubber Dance! As a stamp manufacturer myself and the owner of Rubber Dance, it has been years since I went shopping for stamps anywhere else.....

However! When I saw that Trish Latimer had launched the first stamps from her own designs, I nearly fell off my chair in excitement!!!

Her stamps - which you can see here - are quite big: 12 cm tall (!) and I knew right away that they would be a perfect match with the big flower stamps on Rubber Dance's set Textured Flowers. I contacted Trish and we decided to do a collaboration.....

.... and I'm proud to show you one of the gorgeous artworks that Trish has made, and you can also see her blog post about it here.




Below are the very first cards that I made with two of Trish's adorable WordGirl stamps and some Textured Flower stamps from my own company (designed for Rubber Dance by DT member Susanne Rose). I received Trish's stamps this week and I haven't had the time to make more just yet  - but rest assured that I will share more with you later!


The WordGirl above was masked before I stamped the flowers so they seem to be behind her. All images stamped with Archival jet black on smooth watercolour paper, then coloured in with a paintbrush dipped in Distress Spray Stains.

If you don't like colouring in so much, below is another WordGirl stamped on a background I had in my stash (made with Distress Spray Stains). All images were stamped with black ink and all I did was adding some more pink to her hair for contrast:




Next is the same WordGirl as above, this time not coloured in at all! I masked her and then made the background using Distress inks and a stencil with circles, a few stamped flowers, and a light mist of Distress Spray Stains. The lines behind the WordGirl is the stem from one of the Textured Flowers:





What do you think? Are our stamps a match made in heaven, or what??

I want you to know that I am not affiliated and I do not carry Trish's stamps, I'm just a big fan!


You can see all of Trish's adorable stamps in her Etsy shop:

.... and the Textured Flowers stamps can of course be found in Rubber Dance's web shop,
(or in my own Etsy shop for that matter).


Thanks for stopping by!


 Love,
Bibi

Funny that... I was thinking the Textured flowers would look great on a "Trish" background, and here they are! Love Trish's artwork and you've made a cracking series of cards Bibi!

What an extra treat today. The stamps all work so well together and love what you've both done with them. Fun and colourful...Thank you x

You are a Treasure of a Stamp producer, willing to share other companies' stamps alongside yours in your work. Your flower stamps would grace any other collection, but it's such fun to see you've done it yourself so publicly.

They are so cute the little girls and you and Trish are doing some attractive examples of how the stamps can be used together. Hugs

WOW! Thank you all for your very sweet comments!!! It's been so fun using Trish's stamps in combination with my own - I think they compliment one another so beautifully. I will show you more combos.... two more of Trish's stamps are on their way! :-D I couldn't resist, simply could not resist! :-))))

Thanks, lovelies! ♥

Thank you, darling! ♥ The way I see it, all we stamps manufacturers out there compliment one another with what we have to offer, and I think of the others as my colleagues in the industry. And, when I see stamps THIS awesome, as I think Trish's are, I'm a customer more than anything :-)

Always Sparkle - Envelope Book Tutorial by Sue

Image
Good afternoon and happy Saturday, welcome to the weekend! It's Sue here with my envelope book. Making your own books and journals is very popular at the moment, and I wanted to have a go. I also wanted to use supplies that I had already as it's just after Christmas and I'm already in 2022's craft budget. So I have quite a few of these -  Colour Craft lustre paints. Loads of these - rather posh DL pearlised envelopes. I bought a box full in a closing down sale, so have a box full less 3! And these, my favourite bright StazOn inks. So to work (well play really, I'm making it all up as I go along) I started by painting my envelopes with the paints, then added some stencilling in a contrasting colour. I've used totally different colours so that I've got a choice of colours for my toppers. I've used metallics on this one and they are really nice! For the 'in between

Atc´s Textured Birds by Verónica

Image
Hi everyone, Verónica is here. Today I come with a colorful and fun series of Atc´s that I have made with the beautiful  Textured Birds set .  Let's go step by step, so you can cheer up and make your own.I hope you enjoy it and you like it, it is done with great affection. We cut watercolor paper that measures 3 1/2 inches by 2 1/2 inches, if you prefer in centimeters 8,9cm by 6,4 cm approximately. Now we create the backgrounds by coloring with watercolors, pigments, or inks. I have used pigments dissolved in water, to give it a watercolor effect. When they are ready and dry we apply textured paste with some stencils that we like. In my case Distress Textured Paste (crackle). We can use the embossing gun to speed up the process or let it dry. We continue, we are going to stamp these adorable and cute little birds with a waterproof ink. Comes one of the most relaxing and fun parts, the coloring. You can use what you have or what you are used to
