Believe in Yourself art journal page by Lisa Rabellino

Image
 Hi friends!  Lisa today and I'd love to share with you my new art journal inspiration playing with Rubber Dance stamps!  To start I made a little collage with old book papers and I brushed clear gesso on all the page.  I rubbed with my fingers some acrylics paint and once dry I added white gesso with a spatula to create more texture on my background. I made some stamping with Mix A Sentiment #2 and Grungy Circles stamp sets with archival inks. On a piece of white cardstock I stamped flowers from Loose Florals set and I cutted them.  Finally I stamped some sentiments and I added splatters with yellow liquid paint.  I used these products from the shop: https://www.rubberdance.de/small-sheets/mix-a-sentiment-2/ https://www.rubberdance.de/big-sheets/loose-florals-1/#cc-m-product-14277480433 https://www.rubberdance.de/big-sheets/affirmations/#cc-m-product-13963533333 I hope you enjoyed my art journal inspiration!  Hugs, Lisa

Textured Bird ATCoin

Image
.   Hello to all my crafty friends!  Mary here with another Blog post featuring  Textured Birds  on an Artist Trading Coin.  An ATCoin is a 2.5 inch circle instead of a 2.5x 3.5 inch rectangle (an artist trading card).  I used Dina Wakley collage paper, acrylic paint and a leaf stencil for the background, and I colored in the cute lil birdie with Distress Oxide Inks and a Posca Pen.  I've made a quick video tutorial so you can see my process.   Here's my video: Here are some close ups of the Artist Trading Coin: The Rubber Dance Stamp I used: I hope you like this quick and cute project and want to make one of your own. Happy Crafting, Mary Find me on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube as Motley Mixed Media  

Spirit, journal page with video tutorial by Melina

 Hello creative friends! It´s Melina here today sharing some stamping inspiration with you. You´ll find a video of my process further down. I go to my art journal when I need to work through a feeling. The feeling are not always happy, like this time, but I guess you could not tell from this page!? I tend to concentrate on the opposite of what I´m feeling, and hope I can somehow  trick my brain into another mood or feeling. Do you see what I mean? I wanted to create a loose, airy and kind of dreamy page. I used the  Floral Wreath  circle  as a base point to build my layout around, and then added like half a frame using Grungy Borders  and  Grungy Sequins . The butterfly from the  Things with Wings stamp set is my focal point on this page. It´s also a symbol of the things I  worked through while creating.   You can watch the whole process of how I created this journal page  HERE Thank you so much for stopping by today! Take care and stay safe <3 Love, Melina Rubber Dance stamps used:

Celestial Wreath by Angie Coomber

Hello arty friends! I hope you're all well and enjoying the summer. Today I have a little wreath for you, using the gorgeous celestial stamp set. As I often do (because I don't enjoy colouring in much) I prepared some stamping card in the colours I wanted to use, blue, yellow, gold and silver. I used Distress Oxides for the blue & yellow, acrylic paint for the gold & silver. I added gold splatter to the yellow card and silver splatter to the blue card. I used black Archival ink to stamp images from the Celestial set, and a few stars from the Watercolour Christmas set, then cut these out. I stamped the first stamp (moon & sun together) in both colours so I could separate them and glue a blue moon to a yellow sun. I used a compass to create a wreath shape from a piece of card (I have had this card for a looong time!) and cut it out. I arranged the shapes on the wreath until I was happy with the composition, then glued everything down. I added little glittery stars and

  Hello and welcome to the post on Monday. How are you all keeping ?.   I enjoy and have a lot of fun creating ATC, today in round format (coins) and very colorful, I hope you like them, Maybe you already have the new Rubber Dance stamps and as in my case, you couldn't resist releasing them. Such gorgeous  brand new stamp sets . Have you seen them all?  I chose the   Inky Flowers  , lovely truth?  I've also been playing with   Mixed media marks . Very easy to do, we start. We cut watercolor paper that measures  2 1/2 inches diameter if you prefer in centimeters  by 6,4 cm approximately. And I color the backgrounds with inks. When the backgroud dries, I emboss in white, choose one of the stamps from the set  Mixed media marks .  Now we add textures and depth with black permanent ink, prints here and there. One of the parts that I enjoy the most is the composition.I have to admit that it is usually the part that takes me the longest.  We already have our atcs ready.Now I leave yo

Mixed Media Fun with Inky Friends by Ellie Knol

Have you ever heard of making a masterboard and cutting it up in pieces to be used for cardmaking, or to cover a book with? Here's how: Stamp mixed media images in black onto a huge piece of paper, for instance an A3 size. For your own convenience, tape it to a steady board first when using thin paper.  Add various acrylic colors with your fingers to define areas and keep some white too . Best is to choose transparent acrylics, or semi-opaque, to make this layer see-through.  It may look ugly... but keep going.. keep in mind that you shouldn't mix  complementary colors or you will create muddy colors. Dab white (and/or light yellow for instance) acrylic paint through stencils.  Dab colored acrylic paint (blue and red here) through stencils with bold images like a silhouette of a flower. A close-up...  Time for black stamping again; use line images (butterflies), mixed media and script stamps.  A close-up...  **** Cu
