Christmas Candle by Angie Coomber

 Hi arty friends,

I hope you're all safe and well.

I have started thinking about Christmas recently (I'm not one of those people who starts making Christmas cards in August!) and while looking for supplies I came across some beautiful stamping card that I have had for ages. As soon as a I saw it I knew I wanted to make a project using a candle.

I wanted to use a vellum type paper and had to settle for tracing paper in the end. I measured a piece of the paper to go around my candle - which was a little bit tricky because the candle jar tapers slightly at the bottom, but I managed to make it fit in the end!


Next I used the star stamps and gold paint to stamp a little bit of background on the paper. I also added a little gold splatter. Then I stamped a variety of Christmas trees on the blue stamping card and cut these out.



I used double sided tape to stick the trees onto the sleeve and then wrapped some gold wire around the whole thing to keep everything in place. 



I think a few people may get candles from me this Christmas!

Stay safe, hugs from Angie x

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:

Rubber Dance meets StarTrish Design!

Image
Hello everyone! It's Bibi here today to show you some awesome stamps that are NOT from Rubber Dance! As a stamp manufacturer myself and the owner of Rubber Dance, it has been years since I went shopping for stamps anywhere else..... However! When I saw that Trish Latimer had launched the first stamps from her own designs, I nearly fell off my chair in excitement!!! Her stamps - which you can see here - are quite big: 12 cm tall (!) and I knew right away that they would be a perfect match with the big flower stamps on Rubber Dance's set  Textured Flowers . I contacted Trish and we decided to do a collaboration..... .... and I'm proud to show you one of the gorgeous artworks that Trish has made,  and y ou can also see her  blog post about it here . Below are the very first cards that I made with two of Trish's adorable WordGirl stamps and some Textured Flower stamps from my own company (designed for Rubber Dance by DT member Susanne Rose). I received...
