Hello Spring - Butterflies Card by Farida

 Hello lovlies,

so nice to be here on the blog again. This time it was a bit hard for me to get foccused. But once started I was in the flow and forgot about all this overloaded feeling about all this thing happening in the world currently. Art is therapy for, does it help you too?

So lets get started...

First I started stamping a butterfly from the Inky Butterfly, the grungy Butterfly # 1 and the grungy butterfly #2. For colouring I used my favourite medium, the alcohol markers.


I kept the colour scheme on the butterflies in violet, purple, pink. So kept it for the background, using some distress oxides. So that the background don't look that flat I added some modelling paste through a stencil.


As the next step I took a slimline card base in a violet colour to match my slightly monochromatic colour scheme, trimmed the background to a card panel size so that there will be a frame aroud it and glued it onto the cardbase. 

The butterflies were glued down on top of the stenciled background parts.

For the sentiment I used some stamps from the Affirmation stamp set. I stamped them on the left over pieces of the cutted down background panel, so the colours match too.


And as always I need some finishing touches. This time I used some nuvo drops around the butterflies. So, now I am happy with how the card looks like and can call it done.

If you like to watch a Reel how I created this card, feel free to hop over to my Instagram account. 

Thank you for stopping by and reading till the end. Wishing you all a happy and healthy day.


Greetings from Farida

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...
