Distress Oxide Spray Layering & Burned Edges Art Journal Page with video tutorial


Hi lovely Rubber Dance friends, today I have another art journal page for my mini album. I used a Distress Oxide Ink Spray layering technique and some super fun burned edges with the cute Vintage Postcard Stamp as a focal point.


For this page I used a fun distress oxide spray layering technique and you'll get some tips on how to get gorgeous texture. And I tell you all about how you can get pretty real burned edges on a card with tips on how to do this safe. Be sure to watch today's video to see the full tutorial.


I used Distress Oxides Spray - Peeled Paint and Victorian Velvet to colour the page. I stamped with the same colour ink pads and the Old Book Page stamp to add more texture to the background.


I used Distress Oxides Spray - Antique Linen as a base for the postcards to get a bit of an old worn look.


I stamped the Vintage Postcard stamp with vintage photo from the Distress Archival Ink Mini Pad - Kit Three. I added crunched up strips of paper to get a softer look and I was thinking about a stack of old cards that people in the movies saved with a ribbon in a drawer or a box for a nostalgic look.


 And I finished with a printed sentiment and Nuvo - Vintage Drops - Postbox Red to add some more of the red colour with a mat finish.

Thanks for stopping by and make sure to keep on crafting!

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...

Tutorial Tuesday - A Mini Album by Sue

Image
Good morning and happy Tuesday, it's Sue here with my tutorial for my very easy to make mini album. Here's the front and here's the back.   I started by cutting the pages for my album. I've used the Eileen Hull passport die as I think this is a fab size. Plenty of room for your images but not so big as to be intimidating. I've used chipboard for my covers, and a mixture of black, white, and watercolour card for the pages.   I've used canvas for the binding as this is really tough and flexible. I've inked it up with Distress Inks just using the primary colours, that way where they meet they will make new colours and not mud. I know you probably know this but it took me years of mud before I really got it!   Just look at the size of this Music  stamp, it's a real whopper! I inked it up and laid my binding on top of it.   These were two practice pieces from a previous project. The stencilling was too intense for my card, but ...
