Penguin Party

Hello.  Gail here today with a little make using Playful Penguins and Colourcraft Aztec paints. 




Only a few short days til 2018 and these guys are ready!  Party on little flippers......


I started by taking a large round brush and making some sweeping stripes across a piece of A4 card using Colourcraft Aztec metallic lustre paints in red and pink.  I used a lot of paint on the brush to give me some texture.  Then I spread some of the purple paint onto my craft sheet and used the bubble stamp from the Playful Penguins set to stamp randomly over the page.  


I used a stitched rectangle die to cut a section of the painted sheet and then stamped the water weeds from the Playful Penguins set.  Then I roughly coloured them with the green Aztec paint.  


I used the blue Aztec paint to colour a piece of card and stamped, embossed and fussy cut two penguins.  I added some extra colour with the purple and yellow paint.  I mounted the panel on a pale blue base card and added the penguins.  I stamped numbers from Pick a Number on some card I had coloured with the pink paint, embossed them with gold powder then ran some gold glitter glue around the rims and fussy cut them.  The sentiment is from the Happy Birthday stamp set, embossed with black powder.  
There is still time to enter the current challenge for a chance to win a fabulous prize.


Thanks for dropping by.  I hope you all have a safe and very happy New Year.  Hugz

Blog Hoppin' Superpowers

Rubber Dance has gained a following of stampers that love our Sarcasm Superpowers sentiment stamps. These aren't exactly our best seller stamps (not very surprisingly), but if you love them, you'll LOVE them! And this particular group of followers certainly do - not very surprisingly at all with a group name like theirs .... namely the  Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! (I know, right? Too darn cute!) These fine ladies have bullied me and some of my designers into a blog hop featuring our Sarcasm Superpower stamps. It didn't take much persuation, nor any bribes to speak of. Just mention  "challenge", and we'll be all over you like underfed fruitflies on a brown banana. And that's what the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers is all about - a challenge blog with new challenges every other week. Fasten your seat belts and enjoy the bumpy ride! Of course there will be a prize.... if you make it to the end. Here's what I've made for our hop:
