Playing with Mixed Media Marks and an Elephant

Hello Rubber Dance friends.  Gail here.  Today it was too sunny to be indoors so I grabbed some stamps, card and inks and set myself in a shaded corner of the garden.  I knew I wanted to use the lovely elephant from African Animals and I had an idea to add a little extra texture to him with one of the Mixed Media Marks stamps.  I think it turned out quite nicely.

I made things easy by stamping the elephant on a separate piece of card and fussy cutting it.  I do like those additional circles!  I selected some of my brightest distress inks and used Mixed Media Marks and the rainbow from Pencil Marks 3 for the background, just randomly stamping with various colours until I thought it looked pretty.  The border is from the Mixed Media Borders set.  Elephants are so majestic and I always think they look like they are doing some serious thinking.  Except baby elephants!  They seem to enjoy looking mischievous.  The sentiment is also a Rubber Dance stamp from the Just a Note set. 

I hope I have inspired to get out your stamps and just stamp.   If you do make something with Rubber Dance stamps we would love to see you share it in the Rubber Dance Stamping Lounge.

Don't forget to check out the Rubber Dance webshop.  There is a selection of stamps on special offer so hop over and check out the sale!!!!!

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
