Make Your Own Colouring Book


Hello.  Welcome.  Gail from the design team here today.  Have you seen all the colouring books for adults?  I had a thought.  I have paper, ink, stamps.  I can make my own pages to colour........


I used Textured Feathers stamps and the colours for the March 2016 challenge.  This month it's two years since Rubber Dance started its challenge blog and there are five of the previous colour schemes to choose from if you want to join this month's challenge








I stamped the feather on paper

Then I used the solid feather to stamp the colour into the outlines.  Quick and easy. 



I used an orange sharpie to colour the feather shafts

Here I am colouring the background and leaving the feathers white.  I stamped the small dot stamp in orange and coloured the background green.  


Time to make something with these coloured pages..........


A card and a tag.  The sentiments are from Happy Birthday.  I added three metal feathers from Korthobby to the tag.

I added a vellum layer to this one and stamped the sentiment from Something Wonderful on it.  Love how it mutes but still allows all the details to show through

Here's the girl from Take the Plunge with a sentiment from Just a Note set stamped on a strip of vellum



Thanks for dropping by.  I hope I have inspired you to use your stamps to make your own pages to colour.  I would love to see what you make.  Hugz

How cool, Gail! I find it nice as well as a bit funny that coloring books for adults have become so popular. I say 'funny' because we stampers have known for decades already how nice and relaxing it can be to colour in our stamped images. I wish the colouring bookies a warm welcome in our tracks :) I do understand that it's a nice activity for those who do not stamp, but I'd rather make my own pages to colour in, as you have done here. Great idea to turn them into cards and tags afterwards.
Thanks for a reat post! ♥

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...
