Rubber Dance Art Stamps - Blog

Hello, Samantha here today and I'm sharing another page ready for my art journal.  My page is 7.5 x 7.5 inches and I just love that the Butterfly Girl is such a statement image, standing there reaching for those stars, she is sure to get there! It was an easy page to create, the background is simply distress inks, Faded Jeans and Hickory Smoke, I used the Mixed Media Marks #3 stamp set to stamp some background detail and some stencils to create the dotty silver sparkle with paint and white heat embossing powder for the stars. Finishing touches were the text from Mix a Sentiment #1 and some highlights with a white Posca pen and some black inky splats. Here are the stamps I used; Butterfly Girl 2  Mixed Media Marks 3 Mix a Sentiment 1 I do hope you like my page and thank you for looking. For lots more inspiration you can join the fun on Facebook in the Rubber Dance Stamping Lounge, right here . Wishing you a lovely day, Sam :)  

Hello, Samantha here today and I would like to share with you a page for my art journal. I wanted something a little different to my usual clean and bright colours but also I wanted some texture and contrast. So got busy with some distress inks and a spray to begin with..... I used the technique where you lay the distress ink down, spritz it with water and then mop up with the paper. For another colour and layer I used a spray. I then added more texture using gelatos and a stamp. I stamped the gorgeous butterfly girl stamp and the leaves on white card and coloured using watercolour paints. I also stamped some feathers on white card and coloured and stamped some directly on to the page. I finished off my page by adding some arty splats and some stars, there is also some subtle glitter on her wings which the camera didn't pick up.  Here are the wonderful stamps I used: Butterfly Girl #2 Textured Feathers Pencil Marks #3  I do hope you like my page, thanks so much for looking.

 Hello everyone, Do you have a favourite Rubber Dance stamp? Butterfly Girl #2 has been one of my favourites forever! Today I'm sharing a mini tutorial with you that I hope you enjoy Isn't she gorgeous? This is a monochrome card that uses some scrap painty bits from my stash for the Butterfly Girl and the background. It's a really nice effect when you can match up the colours. So that she stands out a little more I've added some extra white paint to the background. Using pencils I touched up the neutral colours on her wings so that she  stands out a little more. Circles were stamped with a lid and coloured in as well. The leaves from Crazy Flowers #2 were stamped under and above her.  They were coloured with white pencil but then I decided to add some white gesso so that they looked a little whiter. A stamp from Collage Elements was used to add some more detail and to help ground the image. And here she is in all her glory. She is such a pretty stamp. Here are the s...

Hello Rubber Dancers, I do hope you are having a creative 2021 so far. I'm still enjoying making pages for my art journal, I'm creating the pages, will put back in the ring binder and only then will I write on the pages........ or should I?......... I think sometimes the images tell the story without words.  For this page I've used both old and new favourites. I painted the background and added some silver embossing, for the moon rays I discovered embossing powder with glitter in - OMGoodness - how had I not found this sooner. Amazing!! I used my watercolours for colouring the stamped images on white card before adhering to my page. I do hope you like it, thanks for looking. Wishing you a lovely day, Sam :) Here's the wonderful stamps I used: Celestial Butterfly Girl #2 Textured Mushrooms And finally Weed Love  

Hello, Samantha here today and I'd love to share with you a decorative hanging.  Sometimes it's great fun to get lots of Rubber Dance stamp sets out and mix them up as they all work so well together and you can create some lovely, whimsical scenes. To create this I made nine ATC's using cardboard, I prepped with texture paste, gesso, paint and lustre sprays then using a crop-a-dile punched holes where needed. I stamped directly on to them using various colours to add depth and interest and also applied silver paint through a stencil for some added sparkle. All of the images were stamped on to white card, coloured using watercolour paints, cut out and adhered in place along with some die cut leaves. To finish I added some inky splats, highlights with a white pen and tied together using colour coordinated twine. I do hope you like, thanks for looking. Wishing you a lovely day, Samantha Here are the stamps I used;  Carved Whimsy Wood ...

Hello, Samantha here today and I'd love to share with you a page I made for my art journal. It's my first proper art journal and I've discovered that working on both sides of a piece of paper sometimes inks, paints and sprays show on the other side, this is what happened here, there was a big blob in the middle so I used a smaller piece of card and painted it and created a frame, I'm really pleased with how the components are in the central area and the white border, and the contrast in colours makes it quite dramatic. One of the things I love about Rubber Dance stamps is that different sets work well alone or when mixed together as I have done for this page. All of the stamped images were embossed, coloured with watercolours and cut out, embossing your stamped images gives a lovely crisp finish and the slightly raised line helps contain your watercolours. I had great fun making this page, thanks so much for looking. It would be great to see y...

Hello lovely Rubber Dancer! It´s Evelyn here today with a square page. I used the beautiful Butterfly Girl #2 . For my background I spreat finnabairs liquid acrylics in yellow, blue and green with water over my page. I dabbed some of the color through the lace stencil from Shawn petite away and dried the background. When everything was dry I used the Shawn petite scribble marks stencil to add some texture with black and white Gesso. Now I stamped one of the Round in Circles stamps with embossing ink and heat embossed with golden embossing powder.  For even more texture I stamped the Mix a Sentiment #2 stamp with embossing ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. The Butterfly Girl #2 I stamped on white cardstock and heat embossed her black. I fussy cut and colored her, matted her on white cardstock and adhered her with foam tape to the page. To ground her I glued some stripes of washi tape under her feet. To make her stand out more from th...
