Loose florals - Mini junk journals by Jessica Rosengren

Hi everyone, Jessica here with my first project for Rubber Dance design team.
So excited to be here.
Today I´m making two mini junk journals and I´m decorating the front page with flowers from Loose Florals #1



First I´m stamping some of the flowers and leaves from the Loose Florals #1
stamp set on watercolor paper with Archival ink (waterproof).


Then I´m coloring them with watercolor.


All the flowers are fussy cut and I found some covers with collaged papers in my stash. I have collaged old book pages, sewing patterns and music sheets and then put an uneven layer of white gesso on top.


I decided to chose one of the two covers and cut it in half. I selected some different coffee and tea dyed papers to fill the two mini journals and used a waxed linen thread to sew it together.


For the front I have glued some of the flowers and then sewn the stem with black thread on my sewing machine. I glued on some leaves as well.


To decorate the mini journal some more I have used some different stamps form various
Rubber Dance sets; Grungy Borders, Grungy Stuff, Doodle Borders

Here are some more pictures from the finished project.







Here are the stamps I have used.

These are so pretty Jessica. Love the blue flowers against the neutral colours and what a fun idea for the shaped paperclips. Hugz.

Rubber Dance Stamp Challenge - October

Image
Klikk her for info pÃ¥ 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

Easel Card With Textured Flowers

Image
Hello.  Welcome.  Gail from the design team here today with a project using the new Textured Flowers stamps.  I loved these the moment I saw them.  Big beautiful blooms.  And many small er stamps for adding leaves and texture.   I decided to make a Twisted Easel Card.  There are many tutorials available but I used this one by Lois.  So here's my card using Textured Flowers and of course, a giraffe .......... I was inspired by the Rubber Dance challenge colours which for June are: I stamped the large simple daisy, masked and stamped two more.  I added the giraffe from African Animals .  I think I'll call her Daisy. I thought it looked a bit empty so I stamped more daisies...... and coloured with distress and d y e inks.  I stamped and embossed three of the doodled flowers and the giraffe, fussy cut and added them to my panel.  I used brads and a Cheery Lynn die cut for the flower centers.  I also doodled a little faux stitching
