Inky Friends Card by Toni

Hey everyone Toni here
Today I've made a card a quick and simple card, but I love the effect 
 

First I used my small dylusions Gelli round plate and distress oxide ink in Frayed Burlap and Fired Brick 
Layering them and spritzing with water between layers


The last layer I let the oxide ink dry naturally and it develops a stunning colour from the oxidation. Then I stamped the bee from the stamp set Inky Friends on separate piece of card coloured with watercolours and stamped them image straight on to the card.
Before I glued the bee down on top of my stamped image I folded the wings so they would stand out  


 Finally I stamped a sentiment from Mix A Sentiment #1, edged it with some fired brick 
and glued it to the card.  Then I used a stamp from Mixed Media Marks and added some background effects.  
 
Thank you for joining me and I hope you give this a go.  I'd love to see what you make and you can find me on these socials.  Be sure to tag Rubber Dance stamps and me!
Have a fabulous week and stay safe

What a lovely card. It never occured to me to use my small gel plates directly onto a card. Thank you!

Happiness is a state of mind - Art Journal Page

Hello Everyone, Shilpa from the Design Team here. I am sharing with you a journal spread, for which I've used Rubber Dance Nostalgic Couples , Something Wonderful and few other stamp sets. Here's my procedure... To make the texture on the journal page, first I cut out this piece using a die. I adhered that die cut pieces on pages and applied embossing paste through stencil.  Let it dry completely.   To bring colours to the page I spritzed randomly with  Peacock Feather, Wilted Violet, Faded Jeans and Vintage Photo distress inks. To create one more layer I stamped circles and text on the page. In addition I applied colours from distress crayons to create depth. I stamped the Nostalgic Couple on another paper with black archival ink and coloured it with distress markers.   I adhered a few embellishments and ephemera and layered the lovely couple image onto it. On the other page, I added words fro

Back from The Netherlands

Hello everyone! It's Bibi here today, typing to you from my new keyboard .... Isn't that speck-tacular?  But what does my "new" keyboard have to do with my trip to The Netherlands? Keep reading and you'll soon find out ... As our regular blog readers will know, I spent a week in The Netherlands earlier this month. The main reason I went there was so I could go to the ARTSpecially stamp show in Nijkerk to meet my Dutch retailer - Marian, who owns Hobbycompleet de Duif . But before that, my sweetheart and I spent some days in Amsterdam, one of my fave places in the world! The huge "I amsterdam" letters on the plaza behind Rijksmuseum (National Gallery). Any toursist with respect for herself will take 100's of photos of those letters.... It was colder in April than I had expected, and the spring was indeed late this year.   Even so, the famous Tulip Festival was on. Here I am by the pond (still at the Rijksmuseum plaza) where tho
