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:

I hope you've enjoyed this short tutorial.
See you soon!

Rubber Dance Stamp Challenge - October

Image
Klikk her for info på norsk (info in Norwegian) Hello, gorgeous! Are you ready for another fun challenge? I guess you are! Our colour scheme and theme this month might not come as a big surprise. After all, fall/autumn is all around us (here in the north, anyway), and we do love its glorious colours! We hope you do, too, when you create an entry (or three) for our October Challenge: Did you know that "fall" is an Old English word? It replaced the word 'harvest' in the early 1600s as more people started moving into cities. City dwellers began to use the phrase 'fall of the leaf'' and, over time, the phrase was shortened to fall. Surprisingly, etymologists don’t know where the word "autumn" comes from. It was used as far back at the 1300s (by Chaucer), and Shakespeare often used the word, too. As English spread to the New World, the common season names split as well and today, American English uses the word fall while British English
