Tutorial Tuesday - Art journal page with 3D flowers by Melina

Hi!

It´s Melina here on Tutorial Tuesday with a cute little art journal page for you.
I made this page on The Paper Crafting Cyber Crop event on Scrapbooking day a few days ago.
I was one of the Cyber Crop Ambassadors and Bibi was one of the generous sponsors.
I thought it would be fun to share it with you today.


I work on a white/greyboard page from That´s Crafty in A6 size.
I start to apply a layer of gesso. I water down some Distress Oxides and add as a soft 
background layer.


I want some bright colours, so I decide to use my Sharpies (that I have almost never used).
I stamp the flowers and leaves from Crazy Flowers #1 using a alcohol friendly ink pad.


I colour all the flowers and leaves and cut them out. I cut one layer from each flower and build them up using 3D pads. I stamp the quote from the Something Wonderful stamp set and heat emboss it with differend colours of embossing powder.
Finally I add some details with a black Posca pen and my page is done.


Rubber Dance stamps used:
Crazy Flowers #1
Something Wonderful

Others:
Sharpies
Distress oxides
Embossing powder from Fabrika Decoru
Memento Tuxedo black

Thank you so much for stopping by today!
xx Melina

Blog Hoppin' Superpowers

Image
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...
