ROMANTIC CARD "FIND YOUR DESTINATION"

 Hi Rubber Dance friends!!  Josi Tomàs is writing to show you a new tutorial, step by step, on how to make this beautiful card using the Vintage Postcard stamp that reminds me of the gorgeous letters from lovers. Do you agree?

___________________________________________

STEP BY STEP

1. I created a little background using old book sheet paper and music sheets and my Gelatos in three colours combined with black.


Close up view

2. To give it and age effect I painted with white acrylic paint and dried very well.  I stamped Doodle Flowers, embossed with translucent powder and Distress Oxide ink in violet.

3. To finalize the background I painted it with two spray colours, applied crackle paste and let it air dry.


 4. Once the crackle paste dries I stamped the beautiful Old Book Page with black ink around the project and decorate as follows:

a. I stamped the Grungy Butterfly on yellow card stock

b. I stamped the Vintage Postcard in a white card stock, crumpled it and stained it with violet and yellow Distress ink. Next I applied crackle paste and let it air dry.

 Once it's dry, I've broken it into two parts.

c. I stamped the phrase "find your destination" in a white card stock and cut it out to divide it into two parts as well.

 

As you can see, the decoration forms a diagonal from the top left to the bottom right and has three common elements on both sides: a piece of the vintage postcard, a part of the sentence and a piece of white thread.

 I hope you like it!! See you soon again and don't forget to have fun using the Rubber Dance stamps and show us in the Facebook fan page Rubber Dance Stamping Lounge

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 ...
