Dragonfly Challenge Tags - by Bibi



Hello there! Our monthly challenge here at Rubber Dance celebrates its 2nd anniversary this month. The challenge this time is to create something with one of five previous colour swatches.

I couldn't decide which colour swatch to use, so I used them all!  One tag for each colour combo:


After I had coloured the tags in their respective months' colours, I used a sequin waste and modelling paste for the white dots. After those had dried, I stamped the Old Bookmark Stamp with black ink on the dots. Close-up below, where you also can see the gemstone I glued beneath the name of the months:


The circles under the Dragonflies and month tags are punched out from an old dictionary.
The stamped stars on the left hand side of the tags are from the Textured Flowers set. 


The dragonflies were coloured in with Inktense watercolour pencils and painted with a transparent shimmer mix. I added Stickles (Black Diamond) on the Dragonflies' body for more shimmer and bling:



So, here they are - all five tags in our challenge's previous colour schemes.
Which do YOU like the most? I think July is my fave of these tags:

(We had a combined challenge for November and December that year, but I wrote December due to lack of space on the black tag)


Here's our current challenge:


Come join us! You have until September 30th at midnight CET (= GMT + 1).

Thanks for stampin' by!

 Love,
Bibi

I can see why you had difficulty choosing which month to go for (as they are all faublous) and laughed that you went for them all x Such fun and gorgeous tags with lots of inspiration. I hadn't noticed the textured flower stamp set had the stars on them so off now to take a closer look at mine x Thanks for the fun idea x

The 12 tags of Rubber Dance! Might be an interesting idea for next year's challenges... My favourite is March, although green is not my colour, but the contrasting colours give extra oomph.

Art Journal Page with Distress Ink Background and Crazy Flowers

Image
Hi everyone! It's Susanne writing today. I used Distress Inks together with some of our Crazy Flowers to create the page in this art journal. It's a watercolor journal from Kunst & Papier, it's one of my favourites to use with Ink and watercolors. I didn't use any gesso to prime my page. The flowers are embossed with white powder on watercolor paper. I coloured them in in complementary colours, by dipping them into the Distress Inks, to let them pop from the background. Scroll down for the video tutorial. Enjoy watching the video: Thanks for stopping by today! xx Susanne Rubber Dance Stamps:

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...

Rubber Dance meets StarTrish Design!

Image
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 y ou 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...
