Easter Time

Hello everyone Debs here. I'm delighted to start my Guest Designer time with Rubber Dance. It's such an honour to join the talented team and get to play with some of the fabulous stamps. Today's project is inspired by my favourite season spring, which has just started here in the UK. I love the newness of life which spring brings, and this can be seen all around me at the moment as the fields are full of new lambs and the hedges are carpeted in daffodils.


 

I cut out the basket shape and added the colour randomly with a brayer. I stamped it with a variety of flowers from Textured Flowers and then gave them a coat of white acrylic to ensure the colours are bright.

 
I used water soluble pencils to add colour to flowers. Once dry I added more pencil for shading.



The basket effect was created with a white pen to represent wicker. Then I assembled it.


 
The other elements are from Textured Spring and fitted my theme perfectly.

I continued with the pencils to add colour and finished with some soft pastels

 

I hope you like my first project
Take care
Hugsxxx

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
