Watercolor Play Time by Priss

Hello lovelies, so nice to be here on the blog again. I'm Priss (@ARTful.Layers) and I wasn't here last month because of the virus, but I'm back with this page from my Watercolor Journal.

It's not the first time I've made this type of pages around here, but I really like playing with my watercolors making shapes and allowing them to mix with each other. It's so relaxing.

This time I have selected the colors from the June mood board (Oh my goodness!!! I love this combination). After I made the shapes and let them dry, I made also some marks with Posca Pens (black and white) just for fun.

This is so much fun to make your own marks, you have to try it. But I also made other marks with my favorite stamps from the Carved Collection 1 set with the similar colors I chose and also black.

I also like to make marks with Posca pens on top of the Rubber Dance stamps. Is that a white dot or stripes give them a lot of life. Don't you think?

For a moment I put aside my play time with watercolors and pens to dedicate myself to stamping some decorative elements. I used the stamps from the Grungy Stuff and a little bird from Textured Birds.

I choose my distress oxides for that.



At this point I thought my page was too intense, so I try to tone down that intensity by layering patterned white tissue paper with the Mix A Sentiment 1 set in a very delicate shade of lilac. 

Although first I tried it with a very soft shade of pink (Tattered Rose) as you can see in the picture. But seeing that it hardly stood out, I decided to do it in lilac.

After that, it was time to make de composition with all the elements and a lot of threads. 
As usual I made some splatters for the final touch. This time I used black liquid paint.

Now I leave you some photos with details of the project.  I hope you like it as much as I do when making them.





Have you checked out our facebook group (Rubber Dance Stamping Lounge) to see more wonderful inspiration? 

We have a fabulous Mood Board this month to help bring you ideas and you have the opportunity to win a 10€ voucher for the store.



These are the stamps I used:

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!

Easel Card With Textured Flowers

Image
Hello.  Welcome.  Gail from the design team here today with a project using the new Textured Flowers stamps.  I loved these the moment I saw them.  Big beautiful blooms.  And many small er stamps for adding leaves and texture.   I decided to make a Twisted Easel Card.  There are many tutorials available but I used this one by Lois.  So here's my card using Textured Flowers and of course, a giraffe .......... I was inspired by the Rubber Dance challenge colours which for June are: I stamped the large simple daisy, masked and stamped two more.  I added the giraffe from African Animals .  I think I'll call her Daisy. I thought it looked a bit empty so I stamped more daisies...... and coloured with distress and d y e inks.  I stamped and embossed three of the doodled flowers and the giraffe, fussy cut and added them to my panel.  I used brads and a Cheery Lynn die cut for the flower centers.  I also doodled a little faux stitching
