Gelli Plate Background Quick Cards by Kate

Hi, Kate here.

Sometimes during holidays I am so lazy crafting,  but I like to use some prepared material like gelli printed backgrounds. Than I just sit few minutes at my studio and make cards for fun. Some of my easy cards I am sharing today with you. All of them has the same base - gelli printed background made with different Rubber dance stamps.


1.  Here I stamped butterfly with black ink (Versa fine onyx black) on watercolour paper and heat embossed it with clear embossing ink - it is my tip how to highlight lines of image. I coloured butterfly with Zig watercolour markers  and fussy cut it and I die cut two wreaths from another gelli print. 



 
2. Image is stamped and heat embossed and coloured like butterfly above. For the background I used clear sticky ink (WOW embossing powder embossing ink) on the stamped image and then I applied gold Perfect pearls. It is so hard to take photo of the shining background but it is really nice. I gave myself goal to use some older products and Perfect pearls has really rested  a long time in my drawer.




3. Image is stamped, heat embossed and coloured like flower above. For the background I used black paste, stencil and I added a few drops with black spray by Tattered angels. To highlight my focal point I always use 3D foam tape, it adds dimension. For finish touch I added some Nuvo drops.



 
4.  Image is stamped, heat embossed and coloured like flower above. For background I used just red paste and stencil. Because the gelli printed background is a bit busy I did not want to add more craziness to it!



5. Image is stamped, heat embossed and coloured like all images on today's cards. From another gelli print I die cut wreaths.  For finishing touches I used Nuvo drops.  




I hope you like my cards and that I inspired you to make something nice with Rubber Dance stamps.

Have a nice day

Kate

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...
