Technique Thursday- art journal page with mirrored image by Asia

Hello Rubber Dance lovers:)

I am back on the blog today with Technique Thursday project. I have created  an art journal page with mirrored image. I had real fun doing it and to be honest I was not sure if it's gonna work out. It did though and I'm quite happy with the result.



I started by stamping on the tissue paper 2 images of the same flowers from the collection Antique Botanicals. I also stamped the sentiment from Affirmation stamp set. I tried to make as crisp image as possible and you'll see later why this step is so important. When the ink dried out I fussy-cut the elements.


I run the edges of my art journal page with my sawing machine  (it's a loose page as I will be making out of these inserts an art journal later) and then added some colors with Lindy's Gang sprays and Distres Oxides inks. Then added some water splatter to get delicate oxidized effect.


I also added some white splatters here and there. And then the fun part comes. I used soft medium gel to glue one flower to the card, then I took the other flower, flipped it over and glued it upside down. The great thing about tissue paper is the fact that it's so see-through and even after gluing it the other way around the mirrored image I got is still really crisp.



At the end I added a sentiment, few sequins and the card is ready:)

Here are some detailed photos:

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: ...

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...
