Mixed Media Card by Dot


Hello everyone,
I hope that everyone is staying creative
and managing to keep calm in this crazy old world of ours.

Today I've made a card for you with a mixed media twist.


This card uses some of my all-time favourite stamps.
These include Butterfly Girl #1, Loose Florals #1,
Journal Words and Round In Circles.



Butterfly Girl #1 has been coloured with pencils and then fussy cut and edged with
some black to help her stand out.



There are heaps of words in the Journal Words set.
This allows you to play with them in many ways and
come up with your own sayings.
I've chosen to use "Believe In Your Dream"

A mixture of stamps from  Round In Circles have been stamped with white ink.
I love how it has a translucent look to it when it is dry.

The borders were hand-drawn and coloured with black fine-liner
and a white paint pen.



Flowers from the Loose Florals #1 set have been painted with water colours.
I like to use water colours in a rustic way.  Building up the layers of colour gradually.
There has been some white areas left on the flowers to fit in with the background.

To finish off the background there have been splatters of white
paint added.  The bigger the brush that you use, the bigger the splats.

Stamps Used Are:

Butterfly Girl #1
How cute is she!


Loose Florals #1


Journal Words




A reminder that we have a competition over on facebook
in the Rubber Dance Stamping Lounge.

Each month there is a new Mood Board to give you
a few ideas to help your creativity.
Here is the Mood Board for June.


How you interpret the Mood Board is completely in your hands.
We hope that you find some time to join in.

In the meantime,
thanks so much for stopping by.

Wishing you a crafty day!

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 ...
