AUGUST INSPIRATION

Hello Rubber Dance fans.  Gail here starting the new month here at 
the Rubber Dance blog.

There's a new challenge.....

Loving those cool summer colours!!!! 

Our monthly challenges are now based in our FB fan group.  The colours for the August challenge are Turquoise, Sky Blue and Sandstone and/or you can go for the Anything Goes theme.  Link up your makes using the colours and/or anything goes using Rubber Dance stamps and you might be the lucky €15 gift certificate winner!
We are very pleased to welcome our guest designer for August..... Gabriele


Gabriele will be joining us later in the month with her lovely projects.


So now let's get some inspiration for the month from the team.
Cornelia made this gorgeous card using stamps from 
the Fish Swim Love stamp set.
Dot made this wonderful card using
Something Fishy and Alphabet Uno


Evelyn made this gorgeous card using Things With Wings, Vintage Script, Think Again
and Grungy Harlequin 
 


Gerry made this beautiful card using
Grungy Butterflies and Old Book Page



Majo made these lovely Artist Trading Cards using 
stamps from Fish Swim Love and Mix A Sentiment



Saadia made this beautiful tag using
Art Defined and Beautiful Bugs



Wow.  Another fabulous start to the month.  I hope you feel inspired to get out your stamps and create something today.   Join the fun and don't forget to link up your makes using Rubber Dance stamps in the Rubber Dance Stamping Lounge.


I'd also like to mention that Susanne will be taking a holiday, so if you are thinking of ordering some stamps you need to do that before August 12th, or there will be a little wait.  The shop will still be open and shipping will resume September 12th.  I know Susanne has been really busy sending out orders to retailers around the world so if you need some stamps while Susanne is away check the Retailers page to find one near you.

I also wanted to use supplies that I had already as it's just after Christmas and I'm already in 2022's craft budget. So I have quite a few of these -  Colour Craft lustre paints. Loads of these - rather posh DL pearlised envelopes. I bought a box full in a closing down sale, so have a box full less 3! And these, my favourite bright StazOn inks.
