ATC's by Dot Leathbridge

 Hello everone,
it's Dot here with a fun tutorial for you, making ATC's




I was watching one of Susanne Rose's YouTube videos 
showing how to use Brushos on tissue paper 
and really wanted to give it a go.
You can see the link here where she explains how it is done.

Here is a step x step guide as to how I made these ATC's
after the background tissue paper was made.


The tissue paper has been glued onto card and cut
into ATC sized pieces. 




The flowers from Inky Flowers and Small Grungy Butterflies 
are a wonderful size for ATC's.
I wanted to use stamps that would go over the edge of 
the card and where you could still see the image.
These have been stamped onto tissue paper.





And then they are glued onto the card.
I like to use the same stamps but in different
positions when I make ATCs.





Once you trim off the excess tissue paper
you can see what it looks like.
The beauty of using tissue paper images is
that it doesn't matter about the texture
of the background.  The tissue paper 'moulds' to the surface.





The colouring of the images is done with water colours.
This month's mood board came in handy
 for choosing the colours.





Some bubbles have been added from another stamp set.
I wanted to fill in some of the gaps.
That is one of the fantastic things about Rubber Dance stamps
 - they always have extra elements that can be used with
other stamp sets.
Mixing and matching perfectly!




To finish off a border has been added.




Some paint splats were added.





And some words from Mix A Sentiment have been
stamped, edged with ink and glued onto the ATC's.


The stamps used on these ATC's are:


Inky Flowers



Small Grungy Butterflies



Mix A Sentiment



A reminder that we have a Mood Board each month
to give you inspiration.
You can enter into our comp over on facebook too.




I hope you enjoyed seeing how these
ATC's came together.

They really were heaps of fun to make.

Dot x

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...
