Journal Page with Happy Place with Video by Priss

Hi Rubber friends!!!  Priss here.

Today I'm sharing some inspiration with you using one of my brand new stamps!  I've always been in love with the Happy Place and Night & Day Big sets.  Finally, I got them.  YAY!!!!

For the background, I used the emboss resist technique with stamps from the new Mandalas set. I used superfine white embossing powder to ensure the best-stamped definition.

Then I painted over my page with the Distress Oxide inks. I used blue, lilac, rose, and yellow colours to make a sunset gradient. 


Now is the time to relax by colouring the stamps of the Happy Place set.
I stamped them on watercolour paper. I chose fine-grained because I love the texture created when I paint with Distress Oxide as a watercolour.


And finally, it's time to compose the whole scene. I used the two gorgeous houses with trees and put them as a town street.


I used the clouds and the stamp with the moon and the sun of the set "Night & Day Big" (these are so lovely).

Now I let you with a video tutorial of the process. Hope you enjoyed my art journal inspiration for today and thanks for watching.


Please remember to share your projects with us at our Facebook group (Rubber Dance Stamping Lounge).

Hugs, Priss

Always Sparkle - Envelope Book Tutorial by Sue

Image
Good afternoon and happy Saturday, welcome to the weekend! It's Sue here with my envelope book. Making your own books and journals is very popular at the moment, and I wanted to have a go. I also wanted to use supplies that I had already as it's just after Christmas and I'm already in 2022's craft budget. So I have quite a few of these -  Colour Craft lustre paints. Loads of these - rather posh DL pearlised envelopes. I bought a box full in a closing down sale, so have a box full less 3! And these, my favourite bright StazOn inks. So to work (well play really, I'm making it all up as I go along) I started by painting my envelopes with the paints, then added some stencilling in a contrasting colour. I've used totally different colours so that I've got a choice of colours for my toppers. I've used metallics on this one and they are really nice! For the 'in between...

Tutorial Tuesday - A Mini Album by Sue

Image
Good morning and happy Tuesday, it's Sue here with my tutorial for my very easy to make mini album. Here's the front and here's the back.   I started by cutting the pages for my album. I've used the Eileen Hull passport die as I think this is a fab size. Plenty of room for your images but not so big as to be intimidating. I've used chipboard for my covers, and a mixture of black, white, and watercolour card for the pages.   I've used canvas for the binding as this is really tough and flexible. I've inked it up with Distress Inks just using the primary colours, that way where they meet they will make new colours and not mud. I know you probably know this but it took me years of mud before I really got it!   Just look at the size of this Music  stamp, it's a real whopper! I inked it up and laid my binding on top of it.   These were two practice pieces from a previous project. The stencilling was too intense for my card, but ...
