Pure Mixed Media, Art Journal by Priss

Hello sweeties!!!

It's almost time to leave Fall behind and welcome Winter, so I wanted to say goodbye to this wonderful season with a very autumnal page in my square Art Journal in my purest Mixed Media style.

I started by randomly gluing,  over my page, scraps of paper in autumn tones. They are simply printer sheets that I used to place under some tags that I painted with sprays the last month.

For the second layer, I applied white gesso all over my page in order to protect and prepare the papers for applying water-based paints later. Somewhere lighter, somewhere denser. 

With modeling paste and a stencil, I applied some texture in the middle of the page. With the grid stamp of the set Mixed Media Marks and bounding embossing powder I applied some Rose Gold foil to make it more shine.

First four layers of my page

After this, It's time for color and that's always my favorite part. I applied color with my Gelatos (I just love them). The ones I choose were yellow, orange, pine green, olive green, and purple.

To make another texture layer I stamped some marks with Oxide Inks and also with Acrylic Markers. All of them with my favorite stamps from the set Mixed Media Marks.


If something has this page are layers and layers (I adore them). The next step was to apply white crackle paste, here and there. It is very important that we let it air dry and not rush it with the heat gun if we want to have a nice crackle.


Meanwhile, I stamped some Textured Mushrooms over watercolor cardstock and painted it with watercolors. Then I make it more interesting by applying lights and shadows with colored pencils and a white gel pen. 


After that, I fuzzy cut the mushrooms and prepared my composition with some extra elements: lace, crumpled and ink-stained paper, folded fabric ribbons, a tag with the cutout stamps, and lots of splatters.

I stamped my journal with the texts from the Mixed Media Marks set, constructing my own affirmation to feel more open to experiment and create with freedom.

Now I leave you with some photos on my finished page, so you can see the details of the layers.




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

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...
