Flowers Gone Wild - Mixed Media with Ellie Knol


Ellie Knol here with you today,

I hope you are fine in these trying times! Stay safe... 

Mixed Media, difficult? No.... play with your product..


Have you seen the new stamps from Rubber Dance... ?? 

These Flowers Gone Wild stamps were designed for me, hehe...  
... and the Mixed Media Marks set is so versatile as far as I am concerned!!


Follow me in my process: 

I had to choose one of these to go with these fussy cut images of 2 of the flower stamps. 

At this stage I decided to go with the top pages from an art journal.
Why.. ??
I decided that on the greenish spread I need images stamped with a brown.

But be honest.. these flowers will basically suit any background!?



These 2 pages (from an art journal that fell apart) were literally used for clean up and recycle purposes:

The lace was used to make some beautiful gelliprints in blues and reds...
The white pieces are leftovers from diecut images.
Pieces of leftover washi tape.
Some of the color is mopped up ink from the craft sheet: in the end I sprayed blue and red inks to saturate the whole background.

Gesso is always my best friend to enhance patterns, and of course a white and black acrylic marker!


I stamped the images with Versafine black and heat embossed in clear.

Before adhering the 2 backgrounds,
I stamped the bubbles (from Mixed Media Marks) on the cardbase.



The new stamps are available now with 10% off until the 19th April

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: ...

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...

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...
