Be you!!! a mixed media Tag by Priss

Hi, Rubber Dance's friends!! Priss BlaFu writes you today.

I'd like to share with you this tag that I made testing the new clear stamps. And I love them so much. 

Tag mixedmedia "Be You"

The steps are so easy. I cut a piece of watercolor paper and made a tag with it. 

I just wanted to play with water and pigments, so I made two different ones, and of course, I kept the more intense blue. Then I stamped half mandala with white embossing powder.

I punched some pieces of cardstock with dies and also ripped some old book pages.

On the book pages, I stamped some Mixed Media Borders and filled some areas of the stamp with my white gel pen.

Over watercolor paper, I stamped the gorgeous leaves from the set Pencil Marks #3. I admit that this stamp is my favorite of this set. Then I colored with my pigments as if they were watercolors.

For the composition of the elements, I sewed the stack of papers vertically to the tag, and glued a tangle of threads on top.

Also, I stamped some marks on my tag and added some washi tape to make a base for the rest of the composition. 

As usual, I made splatters with white and black liquid paint for the final touch.

I love adding different elements to my projects. So you can enjoy finding them. Here are a few pictures that I took with details of my tag.  


I hope you like it and inspires you to create your own version. 

And always remember to BE YOU, because there is no one in the world like you and this is amazing.

Happiness is a state of mind - Art Journal Page

Hello Everyone, Shilpa from the Design Team here. I am sharing with you a journal spread, for which I've used Rubber Dance Nostalgic Couples , Something Wonderful and few other stamp sets. Here's my procedure... To make the texture on the journal page, first I cut out this piece using a die. I adhered that die cut pieces on pages and applied embossing paste through stencil.  Let it dry completely.   To bring colours to the page I spritzed randomly with  Peacock Feather, Wilted Violet, Faded Jeans and Vintage Photo distress inks. To create one more layer I stamped circles and text on the page. In addition I applied colours from distress crayons to create depth. I stamped the Nostalgic Couple on another paper with black archival ink and coloured it with distress markers.   I adhered a few embellishments and ephemera and layered the lovely couple image onto it. On the other page, I added words fro

Back from The Netherlands

Hello everyone! It's Bibi here today, typing to you from my new keyboard .... Isn't that speck-tacular?  But what does my "new" keyboard have to do with my trip to The Netherlands? Keep reading and you'll soon find out ... As our regular blog readers will know, I spent a week in The Netherlands earlier this month. The main reason I went there was so I could go to the ARTSpecially stamp show in Nijkerk to meet my Dutch retailer - Marian, who owns Hobbycompleet de Duif . But before that, my sweetheart and I spent some days in Amsterdam, one of my fave places in the world! The huge "I amsterdam" letters on the plaza behind Rijksmuseum (National Gallery). Any toursist with respect for herself will take 100's of photos of those letters.... It was colder in April than I had expected, and the spring was indeed late this year.   Even so, the famous Tulip Festival was on. Here I am by the pond (still at the Rijksmuseum plaza) where tho

I Wish I Could Art Journal - by Bibi

Hey everyone! I'm not sure whether what I've made for today can be called an art journal page or altered canvas, because it's really neither .. It's not a page in a journal and the "canvas" is a piece of cardboard, so... maybe it's a hybrid of sorts. No matter what it's called, here it is! And this is what it looks like with the guitar flap open: The reason why I made this .. "whatever it's called" .... is that I've had this bundle of guitar string-looking wire lying on the floor in my studio for some time. Yes, on the floor! (If you thought I'm a very neat and tidy person, I'm sorry to burst the illusion). I've no idea where that wire bundle came from, and I'm not sure why I hadn't bothered to pick it up... but I've looked down on it from time to time, thinking I could probably use it for something, some fine day... .... and then, a few weeks ago a friend of mine was visiting, he pic
