Keep Taking Chances By Dot

 Hi everyone,
It's Dot here today with a fun card using the This Is Me
and Butterfly Trio stamp sets.
Every now and then it is fun to play with black and white
in my work and then simply add a splash of colour to finish with.
That is what happened with this card.

The lovely girl image was stamped and masked
then spots of stenciling was added in random places with black oxide ink.
More stenciling was added to the top corner
to help balance it out.


The butterfly, from Butterfly Trio, was stamped, coloured with pencils and 
then cut out. Because it is a black and white card
parts of the butterfly have been left un-coloured.
The antennae was added with a black fine liner.


'Keep taking chances' is one of the sayings from the
This Is Me set.  There are plenty of awesome words to choose from.
The words have been randomly stamped so that they appear behind and
in front of the girl image.
Some words are stamped in black and some in orange so that the 
butterfly blends in more.

This is a perfect reminder to myself to keep 
moving forward, to take chances and to just 'go for it'.


The stamp sets used are:


This Is Me


Butterfly Trio


A reminder that we have a Mood Board for inspiration and it
can be found over in our facebook group.


We hope to see you there!

In the meantime, I will you a really crafty day!

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...

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: ...
