Challenge Reminder - Watercolour Card by Deborah

Hi there!

Deborah created a beautiful watercolour card as a reminder for our running colour challenge. She picked our "Textured Feathers" for her greeting card. Our scheme in October looks like this:

http://rubberdance.blogspot.de/2017/10/rubber-dance-october-colour-challenge.html

This is what Deborah did:

"I Stamped the feather from Textured Feathers three times to represent the wind lifting it up high. I heat set the ink and once cool created my background with watercolour. Lastly I worked on the feathers, again in watercolour, building up the layers wet in wet, drying it then adding more layers. Once completely dry I used a white Gel pen for highlights."



Thank you so much Debs for this wonderful make!

We are looking forward to your creations, join our challenge here. (You don't have to use our stamps!)
Thanks for stopping by today,
xx Susanne.

Always Sparkle - Envelope Book Tutorial by Sue

Image
Good afternoon and happy Saturday, welcome to the weekend! It's Sue here with my envelope book. Making your own books and journals is very popular at the moment, and I wanted to have a go. I also wanted to use supplies that I had already as it's just after Christmas and I'm already in 2022's craft budget. So I have quite a few of these -  Colour Craft lustre paints. Loads of these - rather posh DL pearlised envelopes. I bought a box full in a closing down sale, so have a box full less 3! And these, my favourite bright StazOn inks. So to work (well play really, I'm making it all up as I go along) I started by painting my envelopes with the paints, then added some stencilling in a contrasting colour. I've used totally different colours so that I've got a choice of colours for my toppers. I've used metallics on this one and they are really nice! For the 'in between...

I want to fly!

I used one of the Aztec images from the set * Aztec Art Dolls *. To me it looked like it wanted to take off and fly :) The words come from the sets * Fly with me * and * Affirmations *.  I created my background using Distress Inks with different stencils on a Sizzix die *Postage Frame*.   You can find the stamps here at the shop:   http://www.rubberdance.com And as a special treat, please use "MAJO2016" to receive a 15% discount on your next order! Have a lot of fun crafting! Love Majo ♥

Tutorial Tuesday - A Mini Album by Sue

Image
Good morning and happy Tuesday, it's Sue here with my tutorial for my very easy to make mini album. Here's the front and here's the back.   I started by cutting the pages for my album. I've used the Eileen Hull passport die as I think this is a fab size. Plenty of room for your images but not so big as to be intimidating. I've used chipboard for my covers, and a mixture of black, white, and watercolour card for the pages.   I've used canvas for the binding as this is really tough and flexible. I've inked it up with Distress Inks just using the primary colours, that way where they meet they will make new colours and not mud. I know you probably know this but it took me years of mud before I really got it!   Just look at the size of this Music  stamp, it's a real whopper! I inked it up and laid my binding on top of it.   These were two practice pieces from a previous project. The stencilling was too intense for my card, but ...
