Cards with Sketchy Flowers by Mariken



Hi everyone, 
 
Mariken here, with a tutorial for you, 
making these two cards with the new stamps. They are amazing!
 I  used the Sketchy Flowers #2 

I  made a some backgrounds with acrylic paint and my gelliplate
 using the rainbow from Pencil Marks.

 
I colored the flowers with watercolors.
Then I cutted them out and glued them on the background.
After that I made some marks with the Pencil Marks #2 
and added the sentiments.
There you are, two beautiful flowercards!
 
 

The stamps I used:
 
 
 


 That's it for now!

 And at last a little reminder that our beautiful Mood Board February
 continues in the Rubber Dance Stamping Lounge on Facebook.
We hope to see you there.
 
Enjoy your day!
 Mariken

Terrific Teabags

Image
Hi everyone, Donna with you today sharing a card featuring stamping on teabags...great fun :) I steeped the teabags in hot water for a few minutes, squeezed them out, cut them open and then left them to dry overnight. Once they were dry I removed all the tealeaves to just leave the empty bag. You can re use any teabags but I wouldn't use any that you have had in a cup with milk or sugar. I wanted to keep a nature theme to the whole card so I used some stamps from the sets  Weed Love ,  A Little Birdie ,  Antique Botanicals  and stamped them directly onto the teabags using black  Archival ink  and then added some doodling with a white  Posca pen . You'd be amazed by how easy it is to stamp on the teabags and what a clear impression you get too. Once that was done, I started adding all the other little bits and pieces including  Tim Holtz paperie , washi tape, coconut buttons and a little twig. You can have a little look through your ow...

Follow That Sheep

Image
Hello.  Gail from the design team here today.  I have a friend.  He's a farmer.  It's his birthday next month, and I usually get him a little present.  Usually something silly, but useful, often related to cows or sheep, cos that's what he has.  Well, Rubber Dance doesn't have any cow stamps.  But they do have a sheep.  So here we go.  Practical art staring the Sheep ........ I used the current challenge colours, dark brown, pale blue and white with a couple of others added in for good measure LOL.   I started with a large empty tin.  The kind you get fruit salad or such in.  I used Walnut Stain distress on a piece of copy paper, cut it to size and covered the outside of my tin.   I cut Poppystamps Boddington Hillside three times from green card.  I removed the house from two of the cuts and stuck them around the tin.  They fitted almost perfectly.  I have randomly left bits ...

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...

Kiss Me, I'm Irish!

Image
Hi everyone! Bibi here today, and I know I'm a little early using March colours ... (think Paddy's Day), but when I saw that Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers had a challenge right now where kiss is the theme, I just HAD to make this Irish inspired kissie-kissie card: An Irish giraffe? Why not! That stamp has become one of my favourites so she will continue to show up, unannounced and unexpected. I made the Shamrock using three heart stamps , stamped with green ink and coloured in with a lighter shade. I made its stem by swooshing the green ink pad across a piece of cardstock, then cut it out in the thickness I needed. The text is printed out, using a free font from dafont.com (love that place!).   The giraffe is popped up with pieces of foam tape underneath. I finished off my card with some green fibers attached around the spine (is it called "spine" when we're talking about a card?) I'm entering my card to: http://snark...
