New Cards Using Inky Backgrounds

Hi lovelies, Farida here today.  Nice to see you again. 

I looked around my craft supplies and stash and there was this pile of background cards. On this I tried out new techniques, new supplies or tried out something that I finally don't like at that moment. But I always keep them....you never know. 

So this is my pile and I picked out a few sheets to see what I can come up with. 
 
I took a sentiment die and several stamps.  As I started with my project I had a run and made three cards. Here are some before and after photos for you. 
 
 
On this paper there are three brush strokes with a gold paste.
 
 
I stamped some Inky butterflies images on vellum with a watermark ink, added some embossing powder on top, melted it and finally used some white acrylic maker on the back before fuzzy cutting them. 
Together with a die cut sentiment and some sequins I finished up the card. 
 
For the second card I choose this ink background in green with water splashes on it.
 
 
Again I grabbed the sentiment die, some embossing powers, vellum and for this card the Inky flowers stamps. 
 
 
I fussy cut the stamped and embossed flowers and glued them on the card. 
 
 
For my last example I used this blue background that again was created with an ink pad and water. 
 
 
For my focal point I used some butterflies again. But this time from the Grungy Butterflies series
 
 
Hopefully I have inspired you. If this pile of half made Cards or ready made backgrounds sounds familiar to you show us some of your creation to use them up. 

Have a nice day
 Greetings from Farida

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:

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...

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...
