Discover & Soul with textured birds by Priss

Hi Rubber Dance Lovers, Priss here. 

Today I've made this card that I will use in the future for the cover of my actual "Squared Art Journal".  

For this card, I used stamps of  Mandalas, Journal Words, and Textured Birds sets.


I used an embossing plate to make a brick wall background. I took a piece of brown cardboard and spray it with a little water to ensure the embossing will be perfect. 

But first, I painted the plate with a green ink pad, so that the ink looks like mold in the grooves of the bricks. And when it dried, I applied color with the red ink pad directly onto the bricks. To finish my brick wall, I splattered everything with black ink.


Over an antique book page, I stamped the complete set of Mandalas and colored one with my brush pens in white, green, and yellow.

Then I scratched the cardstock with the brick wall in half and the paper from the book to both sides of the painted mandala.


I made my background composition with the mandala book paper between the two brick walls turned sideways and then glued everything onto black cardstock.


For my main leads, I took a couple of Textured Birds leftover from my inspiration for October's Mood Board. They were stamped on mixedmedia paper and painted with liquid watercolors.


I took my background, a piece of waffle cloth, and several silk ribbons to make a cozy branch for my birds and sewed everything with my machine.


Finally I glued my pair of little birds with some cardboard underneath to give them some dimension and then added the 'Discover & Soul' text from the Journal Words stamp set as this will be the cover of my Squared Art Journal.



I hope you like it and enjoyed!!

A little reminder that our beautiful Mood Board for November continues in the Rubber Dance Stamping Lounge on Facebook. We hope to see you there.

This are the stamps I used

Atc´s Textured Birds by Verónica

Image
Hi everyone, Verónica is here. Today I come with a colorful and fun series of Atc´s that I have made with the beautiful  Textured Birds set .  Let's go step by step, so you can cheer up and make your own.I hope you enjoy it and you like it, it is done with great affection. We cut watercolor paper that measures 3 1/2 inches by 2 1/2 inches, if you prefer in centimeters 8,9cm by 6,4 cm approximately. Now we create the backgrounds by coloring with watercolors, pigments, or inks. I have used pigments dissolved in water, to give it a watercolor effect. When they are ready and dry we apply textured paste with some stencils that we like. In my case Distress Textured Paste (crackle). We can use the embossing gun to speed up the process or let it dry. We continue, we are going to stamp these adorable and cute little birds with a waterproof ink. Comes one of the most relaxing and fun parts, the coloring. You can use what you have or what you are used to

Mixed Media Art Journal Page by Lisa Rabellino

Image
 Hi friends!  Lisa today and I'd love to share with you my new project for Rubber Dance design team with its fabulous stamps!  To start my page I glued a big piece of collage paper with gel medium. So I cutted a circle of patterned paper and I glued it in the middle of the page.  I brushed a coat of clear gesso and I took my Distress Crayons. I enjoyed using them with moistened fingers, playing with the same colors as the paper to blend it into the background. With a black watercolor pencil I marked the outline of the paper circle and I made scribbles to give a little contrast. Then I used Mixed Media Marks stamp set with archival ink to give more interest in the page.  On a piece of watercolor paper I stamped flowers from Inky Flowers stamps set and I coloured with Distress Crayons and water.  I glued the flowers as my focal point, I added a quote and finally I made splatters with white liquid paint. I used these products from the shop:  https://www.rubberdance.de/big-sheets/inky-
