Coming Home for a Pink Christmas

Hello Rubber Dance friends.  It's a wet and glum day in Norway today so I decided to get glitzy with glitter and go pink for Christmas.  I've used the very cool Coming Home winter village stamp set.   When I saw these stamps, and the Happy Place set, I had all sorts of ideas.   I love that each little building has it's own character and accessories, and also the other small stamps Suzanne includes in her large sheet sets to add fun little details.   

I've kept this really simple, cos Christmas is a busy time.  I love the result and it's a quick make, if you don't count glitter glue drying time LOL.  I started by stamping the Church on a pink panel with Cactus Flower archival ink.  Then I masked it and stamped the two houses either side, also using the Cactus Flower ink.  I added colour with distress markers in shade of pink and a bit of Weathered Wood and then I went mad crazy with the iridescent glitter glue!  Well, you need a bit of bling at Christmas.  A little smudge of Pink Petunia chalk ink around the top edge to stop it looking so flat and all mounted on a textured gold foil base.

I hope you feel inspired to get out your stamps and create something today.   Join the fun and link up your makes using Rubber Dance stamps in the Rubber Dance Stamping Lounge.  See you there!!!

Don't forget to check out the Rubber Dance webshop.  There is a selection of stamps on special offer so hop over and check out the sale.

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...
