Hi Rubber Dance friends!! Priss writes you today.

Welcome to a fun tutorial using the whimsical roses from the set Doodle Flowers.

First, I chose one of the tissue papers that I showed you in my last tutorial video. If you want to know how to make them go to How to design your own tissue paper for Mixedmedia.

Then I cut a piece of white cardstock and glued the chosen tissue paper on top of it and punch a small hole for the eyelet. Et Voilá!

We have an easy and beautiful background ready to play over it with more layers. 

Now I proceed to stamp some Doodle Flowers on Bristol paper and color them, first with Alcohol Markers and then I give them some lights and shadows with my favorite colored crayons. To give it a more personal look I always end up using black and white Posca markers to make my personal dots and marks.

These whimsical roses will be our protagonists, but they need some friends to accompany them so they don't feel alone and abandoned. For this, I usually save leftovers from other projects, like all those that I have chosen to decorate this bookmark.

The Mixed Media Borders stamped over an old book page was a leftover from this tutorial.

The hearts embossed with Mixed Media Marks 3 were leftovers from this Journal Page Tutorial.  

Other things that I use a lot in my projects are silk ribbons and tangles of thread. They can not miss the party!!!

Now it's time to play around with the composition, even though the place was tiny. Here are some photos with details of the project.  I hope you like them as much as I do when making my bookmark.



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.

Thank you for your visit and enjoy your day!


Hugs, Priss

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

Blog Hoppin' Superpowers

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! Of course there will be a prize.... if you make it to the end. Here's what I've made for our hop:
