A grey hare birthday card

Hello and welcome, Anita from the Design Team here today to show you a birthday card. Birthday card!!?? Yep, I have made a birthday card with this ADORABLE new hare stamp.

Those who know me know that I'm not a typical card maker so I had to have a little humorous touch on it, so here is my version of the hare stamp, hope you like it!


It was very easy to make it. I used only a little white cardboard some black cardboard, embossing folder and Distress Oxide, as well as a paper doll from Tim Holtz and of course stamps from Rubber Dance.

I started by embossing white cardstock and colored it with Distress Oxide. I tore the edges to soften it slightly to coorporate with the white cardboard back. I glued it down on the white cardstock with double sided tape.

On the back of the card I glued white cardstock on the black one and then stamped "If age is just a number...how come you look so OLD" with black Archival Ink and "Happy Birthday" with grey Arhival ink.


I chopped the head of this little man


And stamped the hare head on tissue paper, tore it out and glued it to the top of the body


I also stamped the carot on tissue paper and glue it down in this hare mans hand.




Thank you for visiting. Please join the Rubber Dance Challenge this month, there is still a few days left.

Hugs, Anita

Thanks for sharing, Anita! I know you're usually not a card maker, but you certainly have knack for it! ♥ ♥ ♥
Let's hear it from our blog readers - do you want to see more cards from Anita, or should she stick to her colourful art journal pages?

Playful Penguin Card by Dot Leathbridge

Image
 Hi everyone. One of the good things to come out of the pandemic is the reinforcement of how so very special our friends are. So this card is for all our friends, near and far. Would you like to see how it was made? I have a step x step for you. And I made a little discovery that  uses masking (my favourite technique) but on a gel plate this time. The baby penguin, from Playful Penguins ,  is the first thing to be stamped. Mask off the baby penguin, stamp the mom, masking off again. Then stamp the moon from Celestial and the floating ice sheets from Playful Penguins . It's surprising how many stamps are in this set. I stamped the waves once, then masked the top of it so that I could add the seal. I wanted it to look like he is popping up out of the water to say hello. The seal is then masked and more waves are added around him to create the sea. This is where my happy little discovery happens. I wanted to have the reflection of the moon in the water. I decided to use my g...

Guest Designer Katy Leitch - Mini Assemblage

Image
Hello everyone! So happy to be back with my dear friends at Rubber Dance today for a guest appearance! I was actually a bit cheeky and kind of invited myself, because I really wanted to get my hands on the gorgeous ' Fly with Me ' stamp set! I've created a small assemblage piece today using lots of pieces of chipboard layered together. Here's how I created it. Rubber Dance stamps used: Fly with Me Collage Elements 1 Round in Circles 1) Glue several layers of chipboard shapes together so they form a pleasing shape. Have a focal area for your stamp and make some of the elements overhang the main background shape. I added some stencilling with modelling paste to the arched piece. 2) Paint the whole thing with black gesso and allow to dry. 3) Spray liberally with lots of shimmer sprays, spraying close to and getting lots of mica in there, I used mostly ColourArte Radiant Rains for this. Dry.  4) Highlight areas with Treasure Gold waxes in S...

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...

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 a...
