Simplicity Sunday: Card with Distress oxides by Melina

Hello!

It´s Melina here today with the first make for our Simplicity Sunday posts. 
These posts will be all about easy makes with a very few stamps used.

I want to apologize for being late with this post! 
I have three sick kids here at home, and it has been a little busy this weekend ;)

For this card I used Mama Owl stamp set. 
I just smudged Distress Oxides Worn lipstick and Fossilized amber on my craft sheet, sprayed with water and picked up on my card. I stamped the flower and branch from the set directly on my card. The owl I stamped on a piece of gelli printed paper and cut out.
I adhered the owl to the card, stamped a sentiment from Beautiful Words stamp set and matted it on black cardstock. Quick and easy!


Thank you so much for stopping by today!
xx Melina

The sweetest of Mama Owls, always brings a smile to my face. Your stamp creation is what has made it easy for us all by giving us this fabulous design. A beauty to behold.
I hope the children are feeling much better now, I remember it well when one after the other falls ill and everything grinds to a halt.
Hugs and best wishes Tracey x

Art Journal Page with Distress Ink Background and Crazy Flowers

Image
Hi everyone! It's Susanne writing today. I used Distress Inks together with some of our Crazy Flowers to create the page in this art journal. It's a watercolor journal from Kunst & Papier, it's one of my favourites to use with Ink and watercolors. I didn't use any gesso to prime my page. The flowers are embossed with white powder on watercolor paper. I coloured them in in complementary colours, by dipping them into the Distress Inks, to let them pop from the background. Scroll down for the video tutorial. Enjoy watching the video: Thanks for stopping by today! xx Susanne Rubber Dance Stamps:

Altered Chipboard Butterfly + Giveaway

Image
Message in Norwegian : Hvis du foretrekker å lese dette innlegget på norsk, kan du gjøre det og samtidig bli med på giveawayen på den andre bloggen vår ved å klikke her. Hello everyone! Bibi here today with a fun project, using the Totem Monarch Poppet chipboard from EyeConnect Crafts . I had such a blast with this and I hope what I've made will inspire you to make something similar. The difference between the chipboards from EyeConnect Crafts and others ones I've seen out there, is that they are made to connect (hence the name). There are two categories, one called Lace-Ups which you bind together using ribbons, string, lace, etcetera and another category of chipboards with smaller holes so you can connect the pieces using tiny eyelets or brads. This is what it looks like. The pieces are laser cut, and you easily remove them from the base - save that part and use it as a stencil for another project. Notice there is also a chipboard of the butterfly's...

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 perfec...
