Rubber Dance Art Stamps - Blog

Hello, Samantha here today and I'm delighted to be sharing another page that's ready for my art journal. As it is October I thought I would try and do something a little spooky and this owl is just perfect. I wanted to use non traditional spooky colours but couldn't get away from the colour purple as I recently found my first purple mushrooms - Amethyst Deceivers - whilst walking, so you can see my inspiration. I created the background using a couple of stencils, acrylic paints and inky, shiny splats. Then simply stamped the owl, trees and mushrooms on to white card and coloured with watercolours. I love the look on his face.  These are the wonderful stamp sets I used: Carved Whimsy Wood and Carved Fox & Owl  I do hope you like my page, for more inspiration you can join the Rubber Dance Stamping Lounge on Facebook, right here . Wishing you a lovely day, Sam :)

Hello, Samantha here today and I'm so excited to be sharing this Christmas creation with you, I know it's not Christmas for a while yet but I received some new Rubber Dance stamps and I just couldn't wait to play with them, Watercolour Xmas is a stamp set that had been on my list for Santa for a long time, it's a wonderful set that has lots of baubles and bauble decorations for you to mix and match and also some very elegant sentiments too. For this Christmas decoration I've combined six stamp sets, I just love how well they work together. I began with a piece of cardboard measuring 8in x 8 in, I peeled off some of the top layer in places to reveal the lumpy layer, I cut it completely at 2.5 inches and used a hole punch to add the holes as shown. Then I added a coat of white gesso. To get an idea of layout I always stamp images and move them around, this project actually began with a cat and dog together but I don't think they were ready for Christmas and they d...
