Pretty Flower Tag by Angie Coomber

Image
 Hello arty friends, how are you? Spring seems to have sprung in this part of the world, it's my favourite time of the year as I love all the spring blossom. I have a tag for you today (I seem to be into tags lately), hope you like it. I wanted to keep the background fairly simple and let the main image speak for itself. I used the "Flowers gone wild" set for this project. I started by stamping 2 of the images onto cream paper, using green embossing powder for one of them and brown embossing powder for the other, then cut them out. Next I stamped the sunflower on a piece of gel printed paper. As you can see I often use 3 colours and slightly blend them, that way you have a ready made colour scheme for a lot of stamps. This works especially well for flowers. I'm not really a lover of colouring in! I cut a tag from a piece of cream card and splattered some watered down gold paint on it. Once this was dry I arranged the flowers on the tag (or "auditioned" them,

 Hi friends!  Lisa today on the blog with my new art journal inspiration playing with some awesome Rubber Dance stamps!  First I took a piece of watercolor paper and I used some Distress Oxide to create a watercolor background. I dried with the heat gun so I used some archival inks with the same colors of the background, and with the black archival ink to add a little contrast. I chose Mixed Media Marks clear stamps to add the details. Then I used Sketchy Birds clear stamps on a piece of white cardstock and I chose a little birdie for the focal point of the page. Finally I added a sticker for the sentiment and I made splatters with black liquid paint. I used these products from the shop:  https://www.rubberdance.de/clear-stamps/mixed-media-marks-1-clear-0001/#cc-m-product-14534935433 https://www.rubberdance.de/clear-stamps/sketchy-birds-clear-0006/#cc-m-product-14534922233 I hope you enjoyed my art journal inspiration for you!

Happy Birthday Mixed Media Card

Image
Hello Rubber Dance Friends, it's Dunja today and i'm happy to be back on the blog to share my latest card with you.  The card is fresh, colourful and made with my favourite materials. Have you already discovered the clear stamps from Rubber Dance? They are great, right? I used a gel print here, on top of it I applied the Tacky when Dry paste on a stencil and used the FabFoils in rose gold. It sticks to the dry paste and the effect is fantastic. I simply stamped the leaves with a black ink pad and cut them out. On top of that I placed the die cut flower and can you see the little two flowers? They are stamped on a gel print, cut out and glued on.  I embossed the sentiment in white on black cardstock. I hope you like the card? Have a great day. Don't forget, you can still take part in our challenge in the Facebook group. See you soon, happy Rubber Dance stamping.

Embossed layered Card by Farida

Image
Hello lovlies,  so happy to see you here again.  Inspired by looking at layout from other crafters and all their layered, decorated pieces, I wanted to make a layered but stamped card. At first I started with choosing the perferct stamp set for this technique. I wanted to have one that have some larger filled areas, so I came up with Carved collection #1 stamp set.  I started stamping and embossing in a sort of diagonal shape on my card panel. For more intrest I choosed some diffrent ambossing powders colours and textures.  Because it was kind of looking so straight, I added some water colour drops in apple green to get it more 'loose'. To finally make it into a card I matted the card panel with some white paper that often comes with my craft supply orders. I just recycle them here and than.  After I glued it onto a card, I took a rectangular piece of vellum paper and added a heat embossed flower  from the Sketchy Flowers #3 stamp set on the left side.  On the right side of t

Birthday Card with Guinea Pig by Priss

Image
 Hey everyone! Priss here. Welcome to an easy & fun tutorial using the super cute Guinea Pig Stamps set . First, I cut down a piece of watercolor paper to the size of 6 1/2 by 4 1/2 inches.  I prepared a 'watercolor mix' made with Distress Oxides Reink and as much water as I wanted to lighten the color.  Then I painted some stripes alternating colors, and using iridescent gold and copper watercolors, I added some sparkles to them. To make the background more interesting, I stamped a few little rainbows on each strip with the same colors using distress inks pads.  I love adding some splatters, so this time I did it with the gold and copper watercolors. For the final touch of this background, I made a frame  with a fine black pen. I stamped and painted with alcohol markers, the Guinea Pig, and the flowers of the set. And for the final touches,   I did shadows and highlights with my favorite crayons and pens. Now Is time for composition. You know this is the funniest part. An

   Hi, I'm Vero (@Vero.kt) and welcome to today's inspiration. How's everybody ?I've been playing with some of the   Rubber Dance  designs to create a page in my Junk Journal.  I have used  Mix a Sentiment 2  ,   Inky Flowers   and   Mixed media marks  1.   I  hope you like. On watercolor paper, I make the pigments react with water, and I use a dryer to speed up the process. Later  it's time to stamp with inks in tones similar to the background.And to add depth. imprinted with black permanent ink. I chose the moth from the set   Inky Flowers   , it is colored with watercolor pencils.  One of the parts that I enjoy the most is the composition, I have to admit that it is  usually the part that takes me the most.
