Fish - Swim - Love - Tutorial by Mariken

Hi everyone!
Today I wil show you how you make four cards and a little one, from a left-over.
  Here are two of the finished cards.


  Ok, let's start!...

I used my gelliplate to create a colorful background, starting with three colors of Dina Wakley Acrylic Media Paint.


I cut out some waves and put them on a striped blue background and printed my yellow-orange-pink background again.



I added some dots on the waves and then the prints and white basic cards are cut into the right size.

On Mixed media paper I added little drops of Liquitex acrylic inks and sprayed them with water.


Now it's time for the details!  I used the stampset Textured Sea Creatures and embossed the little elements with white WOW embossing powder. Then I made some bubbles with the stamp from Round in Circles.  I colored them white with a posca marker.




The finishing touch...
I stamped the outlines with Doodle Borders #1 and stamped some black text with Art Defined.  I fussy cut my Textured Sea Creatures and glued them on the card.  Finally  I stamped the words Fish - Swim - Love.


Some close ups of the finished cards.


This little card below is made of a left-over, I cannot throw such a cute little piece of paper away...

 
Hopefully, you enjoyed my tutorial and give it a try!
Have fun!! Mariken 
Don't forget our Colour Challenge and or Anything Goes for October.

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: ...

Always Sparkle - Envelope Book Tutorial by Sue

Image
Good afternoon and happy Saturday, welcome to the weekend! It's Sue here with my envelope book. Making your own books and journals is very popular at the moment, and I wanted to have a go. 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. So to work (well play really, I'm making it all up as I go along) I started by painting my envelopes with the paints, then added some stencilling in a contrasting colour. I've used totally different colours so that I've got a choice of colours for my toppers. I've used metallics on this one and they are really nice! For the 'in between...

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...
