Dreamer of Dreams art journal page by Lisa

Image
 Hi friends! Lisa today to share with you my new art journal inspiration playing with Rubber Dance stamps! To start I glued some pieces of collage papers with gel medium. Then I brushed clear gesso to protect the papers and I used my favorite watercolors with some pink, yellow and blue. I let it dry and I made some stamping with Mixed Media Marks and Vintage Postcard.  I stamped a moth from Inky Friends on a white cardstock and I used it as my focal point with a sticker.  Finally I made splatters with black liquid paint. I used these products from the store:  https://www.rubberdance.de/big-sheets/inky-friends/#cc-m-product-14383086833 https://www.rubberdance.de/big-sheets/mixed-media-marks/ https://www.rubberdance.de/single-stamps-1/vintage-postcard/#cc-m-product-13971327533 I hope you enjoyed my art journal inspiration for today!  Hugs, Lisa

Loose Art Journal page by Angie Coomber

 Hello arty friends, how is the new year treating you? I'm finding myself doing quite a lot of art journaling at the moment, just putting down my thoughts in these strange and sometimes tricky times. This time I have a loose art journal page to show you, I hope you like it. I started by glueing some bits and pieces of ephemera onto my page. Next I painted over this in one of my favourite colour combinations, pink, orange, turquoise and a little bit of white. I stamped my focal image on some tissue paper, tore the image out and glued it to the page using gel medium. I added some stencilling with the same colour paints, trying to incorporate the edges of the image into the background. Next I did a little background stamping and white stencilling, followed by some white paint which I applied with my fingers. Finally I added some black paint splatter, more background stamping, some punched hearts and a quote (one of my all time favourites!) Stay safe! Hugs from Angie x Stamps used: Bel

Stitched Artist Trading Cards

Image
  Hello Rubber Dance Friends, i'm back with some Artist Trading Cards today.  I used Gelliprint with good ink coverage. Only for one reason, I stamped the designs in white on vellum and then sewed them onto the gel prints. They are very delicate in the color still visible.  The Inky Flowers and the new Sketchy Flowers are so adorable, i love them much. Don't miss our  Rubber Dance Stamping Lounge  on Facebook, to meet creative people, find inspirations and have a little chat. We look forward to meet you :)) Happy crafting Dunja xx              

A Tag Using Inky Flowers by Dot Leathbridge

Image
 Hello everyone, Today I'm sharing a tag that I've made using  Inky Flowers and words from Think Again. During Covid lockdowns I enjoyed reading a lot more. Especially at night as it helped to clear my mind. I am battling to read more than 5 - 6 pages before I drift off to sleep. This tag will come in handy as a bookmark. It will save me having to use a piece of scrap paper. Here are some more close-up pics of the tag for you to check out. Using the stitching from Grungy borders is a great way to add a frame. I like to dangle a heart here and there. I forgot to punch a hole in my tag, but that's okay because I decided to place some flowers in that area. My inspiration for this tag comes from our January Mood Board. You can find us over on facebook here where we have a competition every month and give-away awesome prizes. I hope you enjoyed my tag and are able to join us  over on facebook. The stamps used on my tag are: Inky Flowers Think Again Grungy Borders Wishing you al

Carved Collection Cone Flower Two Ways

Image
Hello Rubber Dance friends.   Gail here today.  I haven't been feeling very inspired the last week but new rubber always helps kick starts ideas!  So I grabbed my wonderful new Carved style stamps and me and Mr Mojo got busy!  One flower, two cards! I used stamps from Rubber Dance Carved Collection 1 and 2 and words from Greetings .   I used a yellow panel on a gold base card and stamped the circle from Carved Collection 2 using Dandelion archival ink.   I stamped the cone flower and sentiment with black archival and added some Promarker colour to the flower.      For this card I stamped the cone flower and sentiment on a white card base with black archival.  I used a little strategic masking and stamped the ' raindrops ' using Sky Blue archival. I hope you like my same flower two ways cards.  Check out the other blog posts for masses of inspiration from the team.  Join the fun and link up your makes using Rubber Dance stamps in the Rubber Dance Stamping Lounge .

Atc´s Inky Friends

Image
  Hi, I'm Vero (@ Vero.kt) and I welcome you to the inspiration for today Sunday. How's everybody? I've been playing with   Inky Friends ,   Mixed media marks , and   Grungy Stuff   to create a couple of Atc's that I hope you like. Very easy to do, we started. We cut watercolor paper to a size of 2.5 x 3.5 inches, if you prefer to work in cm, 6.4x8.9. In my case, the paper is smooth and hot pressed, and I color the backgrounds with pigments. When the backgrounds dries (we can speed up the process with a heat gun) we're going to add texture and depth with permanent black ink, and with oxide inks here and there. When we have the dry backgroung, we add some white splatters. On a previously wrinkled book sheet, I stamp one of the stamps from the  Grungy Stuff   set and cut it out to integrate it into the composition. I choose one of the stamps from the  Inky Friends  set, stamp it, color it with watercolor pencils, then cut. One of the parts that I enjoy the most is the
