Hello Rubber Dance friends.  Gail here today with an easy birthday card featuring the lovely Lion from Rubber Dance African Animals . I started by stamping Lion and the birthday sentiment from Happy Birthday with purple archival ink.  I ripped some paper and used it to mask and blended a purple distress ink border.  I cut with a stitched rectangle die and layered onto a black mat and white card base.  I stamped Lion again on white card with brown archival ink, coloured with distress markers and fussy cut him.  I cut a metal charm in half and added it and layered the fussy cut Lion onto the card. I hope you feel inspired to get out your stamps and create something today.   Join the fun and link up your makes using Rubber Dance stamps in the Rubber Dance Stamping Lounge .  See you there!!!

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 ...

 Hello everyone, Today I've a step by step tutorial for you showing how this card was created. It was so much fun to do and super easy. I hope you decide to give it a go too. Prepare to get messy! Only 2 paint colours were used, brown and white. However, you could use any colour that you like. I began by laying down some paint on a gel press. I chose this gorgeous stamp from Carved Collection #3 to stamp into the wet paint. It's important to have a water dish on hand to put your stamp into once you  finish stamping with paint. Once the paint dries, put a thin layer of white paint on the gel press and 'pull the print'. This is how it looked once I pulled the print. It's a little rustic at this stage however I decided to make it more defined. The first thing that I did was add more colour with my pencils. Then the image was brought forward by using a white Posca pen. I've chosen the giraffe from African Animals as my center piece. With such a busy background it...
