Simplicity Sunday - A Simple Card by Dot

Welcome to Simplicity Sunday.
Today I've a very simple card to share with you.


I've used the Dancing Woman stamp as the main piece for this one.
Firstly I've blended some Iced Spruce Distress Ink onto some scrap cardstock and made sure it was thoroughly dry. I dabbed an anti-static pad over it and stamped the image with Versamark ink and then added white embossing powder.  Heating it to melt the EP.

To make the lady stand out a little more I've blended some Black Soot around the edges before cutting it out. I matted this onto white, then black card.

For the larger background I've used the Textured Flowers stamp set.  I coloured some scrap card with Seedless Preserves Distress Ink, stamped some flowers and cut them out.  The background has some circles from this set randomly stamped onto the card.

To finish all you need to do is attach the centre piece and the flowers! Oh, and I added a little black shading around the lady with a black fine liner.

Tip: I've cut a couple of the flowers so that they sit on the edge of the white card.  I think this gives a lovely finish.

This card uses the colours (Lilac, Grey and Black) and theme (circles) from this month's challenge.
I hope that you like this card and have time to pop one of your creations into our challenge.

Thank you for looking.

Dot this is beautifully created you say it is simple but it really packs a big creative punch, with the elegant dancing woman. I love how you have introduced a touch of purple in opposite corners, very inspiring creation and I love it. Thank you for sharing.

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...

Rubber Dance meets StarTrish Design!

Image
Hello everyone! It's Bibi here today to show you some awesome stamps that are NOT from Rubber Dance! As a stamp manufacturer myself and the owner of Rubber Dance, it has been years since I went shopping for stamps anywhere else..... However! When I saw that Trish Latimer had launched the first stamps from her own designs, I nearly fell off my chair in excitement!!! Her stamps - which you can see here - are quite big: 12 cm tall (!) and I knew right away that they would be a perfect match with the big flower stamps on Rubber Dance's set  Textured Flowers . I contacted Trish and we decided to do a collaboration..... .... and I'm proud to show you one of the gorgeous artworks that Trish has made,  and y ou can also see her  blog post about it here . Below are the very first cards that I made with two of Trish's adorable WordGirl stamps and some Textured Flower stamps from my own company (designed for Rubber Dance by DT member Susanne Rose). I received...
