Over the Rainbow by Samantha Read

Hello, Samantha here today and I'd love to share with you a page I made for my art journal.


It's my first proper art journal and I've discovered that working on both sides of a piece of paper sometimes inks, paints and sprays show on the other side, this is what happened here, there was a big blob in the middle so I used a smaller piece of card and painted it and created a frame, I'm really pleased with how the components are in the central area and the white border, and the contrast in colours makes it quite dramatic.

One of the things I love about Rubber Dance stamps is that different sets work well alone or when mixed together as I have done for this page.


All of the stamped images were embossed, coloured with watercolours and cut out, embossing your stamped images gives a lovely crisp finish and the slightly raised line helps contain your watercolours.

I had great fun making this page, thanks so much for looking.
It would be great to see your creations with Rubber Dance stamps, you can join in with us in the Rubber Dance Stamping Lounge on Facebook, click here.

Wishing you a lovely day, Sam xx

Here's the stamps I used to create my page:

Art Journal Page with Distress Ink Background and Crazy Flowers

Image
Hi everyone! It's Susanne writing today. I used Distress Inks together with some of our Crazy Flowers to create the page in this art journal. It's a watercolor journal from Kunst & Papier, it's one of my favourites to use with Ink and watercolors. I didn't use any gesso to prime my page. The flowers are embossed with white powder on watercolor paper. I coloured them in in complementary colours, by dipping them into the Distress Inks, to let them pop from the background. Scroll down for the video tutorial. Enjoy watching the video: Thanks for stopping by today! xx Susanne Rubber Dance Stamps:

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...

CASology Week #202: Masculine (card by Bibi)

Image
Hello everyone! Bibi here today to show you a card I've made for the challenge at CASology, where the theme this week is to make a masculine card. "Heeeelp!", was my first reaction when I saw what their theme was, as I think it's really difficult to make cards for men! In addition, it must of course be CAS (= Clean And Simple), so I really had to step outside of my comfort zone....., but that's the point of a good challenge, isn't it? :-) Anyway, it was a post by  DT Kristiina  (on our Scandinavian blog ) that came to my rescue! If you haven't seen her post , you really should! The text is in Swedish, but there are lots of awesome project photos that speak for themselves. Kristiina had used stamped letters as the only "images" on her cards and I was very impressed by what she made, so I took out my Alphabet Uno stamps  (same as Kristiina had used), and what do you know - they spoke to me right away! Thank you, Kristiina! :-D And here...
