Easy and Simple Watercolour Artist Trading Cards by Susanne

Hi there!

Susanne here with a trio of watercolour ATCs. I used the lovely Carved Whimsy Wood stamps together with my Mijello Mission gold watercolours, Memento Inks and alcohol markers.


What I did:
I created the backgrounds with watercolours wet on wet. I used washi tape to frame every card before I painted it.
The lovely images are stamped with Memento inks, because I finished every card by colouring some areas with alcohol markers. Finally I added a Tim Holtz word sticker to every card.






Thank you for stopping by today
xx Susanne.

CASology Challenge Journey Card by Bibi

Image
If you are looking for DT Majo's post today, please click here. Hello everyone! Bibi here today with two CAS cards I've made for the current  CASology challenge , where the theme this week is JOURNEY: My tip: When using only a sentiment stamp on your card, you can add a bit of interest  by cutting out one of the words, frame it and adhere it with foam tape off to the side. For the third time this summer, Rubber Dance is sponsoring  CASology  -  a challenge blog that is all about  C lean  A nd  S imple (CAS).  Each week, we'll study  clean and simple design  using a cue word as our inspiration.  The design team will share their CAS creations and a little bit about their designs to inspire you to create a clean and simple card of your own!    Weekly challenges begin Tuesday mornings. Interpret the word on the weekly cue card however you'd like!  This is about creativi...

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...

A Day to Celebrate + GIVEAWAY!

Image
Hello, dear stamping friends all over the world!  Bibi here today with  THREE things to celebrate! Today is the Norwegian National Day , which is celebrated with childrens' parades and marching bands all over  the country. The proper way to greet a Norwegian on May 17th is to say, "Gratulerer med dagen!" (Literally:  Congratulations with the day ). This photo is from a parade in Oslo: May 17th is also my mum's birthday and today she's turning 75! After watching the parades, we're celebrating mum's big day with family and friends at her place. I have always made birthday cards for mum using the colours of our flag (red, white and blue), but this year I did something different and I know she likes these colours, too. Background paper made with spray inks. The flower stamps are from  Antique Botanicals .  The Happy Birthday is a die from Quietfire Design , and I put two die cuts on top of one another - white under blue for contrast ag...

Guest Designer Katy Leitch - Mini Assemblage

Image
Hello everyone! So happy to be back with my dear friends at Rubber Dance today for a guest appearance! I was actually a bit cheeky and kind of invited myself, because I really wanted to get my hands on the gorgeous ' Fly with Me ' stamp set! I've created a small assemblage piece today using lots of pieces of chipboard layered together. Here's how I created it. Rubber Dance stamps used: Fly with Me Collage Elements 1 Round in Circles 1) Glue several layers of chipboard shapes together so they form a pleasing shape. Have a focal area for your stamp and make some of the elements overhang the main background shape. I added some stencilling with modelling paste to the arched piece. 2) Paint the whole thing with black gesso and allow to dry. 3) Spray liberally with lots of shimmer sprays, spraying close to and getting lots of mica in there, I used mostly ColourArte Radiant Rains for this. Dry.  4) Highlight areas with Treasure Gold waxes in S...
