Faux Watercolour Technique With Rubber Dance Stamps & Aqua Flow Pens with video tutorial by Gerry



Hi lovely Rubber Dance friends, it's Gerry on the blog today and I have two cards with a fun Faux Watercolour technique for you. Besides the Small Grungy Butterflies and Old Bookpage Rubber Dance stamps I also used different colours Nuvo Aqua Flow Pens.



For the faux watercolour technique I used Nuvo Aqua flow pens, they come in sets of three and have a bunch of these so I mixed them up a bit. But you can use just one set and get great results.



I used the small Grungy butterflies, they have some great texture and are gorgeous for the Faux Watercolour Technique.



I also used the Old book page to add some more texture on the rest of the page and some black with archival ink for contrast.



I also made some splats with Black gesso diluted with water.



And here is the video tutorial where I show you how you can create the watercolour effect with the stamps. You can click on the picture below or here to watch the video.

Back from The Netherlands

Hello everyone! It's Bibi here today, typing to you from my new keyboard .... Isn't that speck-tacular?  But what does my "new" keyboard have to do with my trip to The Netherlands? Keep reading and you'll soon find out ... As our regular blog readers will know, I spent a week in The Netherlands earlier this month. The main reason I went there was so I could go to the ARTSpecially stamp show in Nijkerk to meet my Dutch retailer - Marian, who owns Hobbycompleet de Duif . But before that, my sweetheart and I spent some days in Amsterdam, one of my fave places in the world! The huge "I amsterdam" letters on the plaza behind Rijksmuseum (National Gallery). Any toursist with respect for herself will take 100's of photos of those letters.... It was colder in April than I had expected, and the spring was indeed late this year.   Even so, the famous Tulip Festival was on. Here I am by the pond (still at the Rijksmuseum plaza) where tho
