Something fishy...

Hello everyone Debs here with another journal page for you today. I'm so happy to be back in my journal, I forgot how much I love playing in it, smile!

I wanted to create an old journal page as a memoir, as if it were a snap shot of a day out out at the beach.





I started on a couple of old pages which were used to mop up and try things out. I love to play this way as I think 
it all adds to the depth and texture.


I smooched the paint over the page with my fingers. I  painted the elements on my page with  a dye based ink.


Next I stamped the people on my page randomly 


I then surrounded them with the net stamp. 


I stamped directly onto the page as well as onto plain card which I then cut out and placed around the page.

I also added the fish as my day out included fishing as well as a nice fish supper!

Here are some more close ups




The stamps I used are Retro Beach and Something Fishy
The Acrylic is Dina Wakley's mini bottles from Ranger
And the dye based ink is From Jane Davenport Mermaid Markers.

A last look at my page.

WOW! I have not worked in my art journal for ages, but this looks really fun - smearing paint out with your fingers is my fave teachnique (a girl needs her messy!). Lovely page, Debs - thank you so much!! ♥ ♥ ♥

New Website AND Birthday SALE!

Image
Hi everyone! It's Bibi here, the owner of Rubber Dance, and guess what.... Today is my birthday!! Hey??! Not only is it my birthday - I have made a brand new website for Rubber Dance! But, wait - there is more: NEW stamps, too? You bet! I made these tags with some of the new stamps ... Yes, I made birthday tags for myself ... The backgrounds on the ones to the left and right are my first attempt with the really cool nail polish in water marbling technique. (If you have no idea what I'm talking about, here's a really good tutorial with Carla Sonheim). The tag in the middle was coloured with Distress inks and misted with water, while the stamped label on top is with the nail polish technique. Since it's my birthday, I'm in a particularly good mood - so let's have a SALE! :-) I'm turning 48 today, but I'm afraid I cannot offer a 48 % discount or I'd get ruined! :-O So, how about 5 %? That's not good enough, you say? OK, then .... s...

Mixed Media Tags by Susanne

Image
Hi there! Susanne writing today and I'm sharing some mixed media tags today. My focal points are the beautiful Butterfly Girls . I started with a water colour background. I added a thin layer of gesso in the middle are and some background stamping for more interest. Before I added the Butterfly Girls (that are stamped on gelli printed deli paper), I added some patterned paper which was die cut with the Tim Holtz Mixed Media dies. To finish it up I added some black dripping paint and white splatters. The sentiment is printed with the computer. I framed every tag with my sewing machine.  I created similar tags a while ago, where I used the same technique. You'll find it here . Thanks for stopping by today! xx Susanne Supplies: Rubber Dance Stamps: Retro Beach Butterfly Girl #1 Butterfly Girl #2 InLinkz.com Others: Sizzix Tim Holtz Mixed Media Dies Gelli Plate DCWV Maps, Text & Ledgers Stack Art Anthology Colorat...

Mistakes are proof that you are trying - a tag by Anita

Image
Hello and welcome, Anita from the Design Team here today to show you step by step a tag I've made: On this tag I've used the colours from this month Colour Challenge: I began to glue down with Distress Collage Matte Medium Tim Holtz tissue wrap on my tag. I also used this medium on top of the tissue wrap t o achieve a smooth surface. This is in order for Distress crayons to blend nicely together. Then I used some Tim Holtz stencils and embossing paste and made some texture on my tag: I stroked on the colours pink, orange and red using my fingers, and then I used a stencil and paper with some water on and removed some of the color through the stencil                                                 ...
