Birds Colorful Card - Tutorial

Hello creative friends! How are you all keeping? Vero (@vero.kt) is here with  new colorful cards that I hope you like. I have been playing with some of the new stamps. Mixed media marks, Flowers Gone Wild and Textured Birds.



Very easy to do, we start. We cut watercolor paper in a size of 4 by 6 inches. In my case, the paper is smooth and hot pressed.



We are going to add pieces of book sheets, which we usually have in the house, comment that collage paper, rice paper, etc. would be worth it. I have used collage glue, glue, medium gel as well.




We choose a stencil and we will perform the gesso resist technique. For this we apply with a spatula or gesso finger (as a recommendation, it is not very liquid)






To speed up the drying process we use a dryer. And when the gesso is completely dry, we apply color, I have used pigments, but you can also use distress inks, watercolors, acrylics, etc.



We help ourselves with a dryer, and we remove with excess paper the excess paint or pigment.




Now we add textures and depth with black permanent ink, prints here and there. I have also used to stamp oxide inks. I have used the new stamps. Mixed media marks 



 After stamping, I use the same stamps for embossing, with Glaze powders, give a glassy or semi-transparent appearance





Now it's time to stamp and color our stamps.I finally decide to use Textured Birds.



After stamping and coloring, the funniest part comes, the composition and we would finish with our cards.Now I leave you some photos with details of the project.







Here are the Rubber Dance Stamps I used:





I hope you enjoyed and don't forget to visit regularly. The team has amazing inspirations every day, just for you.

Verónica.

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...

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 ...
