"in our HEARTS"

 Hello Rubber Dance friends!! Josi Tomàs greets you once again or to show you a new tutorial on this more special occasion than ever.

Today I bring the step by step of a new Art Journal page that talks about a part of my family and is dedicated to the memory of my father-in-law, "the grandfather" of the family and who liked very much to receive my postcards on special occasions....


First I have put a bit of modeling paste with the spatula and then I have stamped a texture stamp . Once dry, I have made white embossing by superimposing 10 hearts (one for each of us) in which there are other smaller hearts inside each one


I have coloured the composition using pigments and gelattos in three shades

 

 This is the result of the first two steps...

I have made several stamps using the Journal Words stamp applied with light grey permanent ink. Then I put texture paste with a stencil.


The composition that decorates the page is really simple and is divided into these steps:

1.  Embossing in gold on vellum with the branch of Pencil Marks #3 and on the imprint of Mixed Media Marks

2.  Stamps on white paper using Vintage Postcard and the tickets from Mixed Media Marks and Mixed Media Marks #3. 

I have "stained" them with the pigments used to create the background, I have wrinkled them and I have put crackle paste on them to give it an age effect.

3. I have stamped on pink cardboard a circle with text inside, a small clock on vellum to which I have put white paper behind to highlight and the word "heart" on white cardboard as well.

In the images you can see how I assembled all the decoration on a piece of medical gauze...



 

 The clock stopped leaving a mark on our hearts forever.

We will remember forever places and moments in which you will not be able to be, words that we couldn't tell you in time.

An open wound that can only be closed by staying together and looking "up" 

Dedicated to you "grandfather". Thank you for looking with so much admiration and affection at each postcard I made thinking of you.

You will always be in our hearts.


I hope you liked the tutorial and this little thought from the bottom of my heart that I have shared you. Hugs

Here you have all the stamps used...

Blog Hoppin' Superpowers

Image
Rubber Dance has gained a following of stampers that love our Sarcasm Superpowers sentiment stamps. These aren't exactly our best seller stamps (not very surprisingly), but if you love them, you'll LOVE them! And this particular group of followers certainly do - not very surprisingly at all with a group name like theirs .... namely the  Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! (I know, right? Too darn cute!) These fine ladies have bullied me and some of my designers into a blog hop featuring our Sarcasm Superpower stamps. It didn't take much persuation, nor any bribes to speak of. Just mention  "challenge", and we'll be all over you like underfed fruitflies on a brown banana. And that's what the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers is all about - a challenge blog with new challenges every other week. Fasten your seat belts and enjoy the bumpy ride! Of course there will be a prize.... if you make it to the end. Here's what I've made for our hop: ...

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...

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 ...
