Rubber Dance Art Stamps - Blog

   Hi, I'm Vero (@Vero.kt) and welcome to today's inspiration. How's everybody? . I've been playing with some of the   Rubber Dance  designs to create a page in my Junk Journal.  I have used   Inky Friends , Pencil marks 3 and   Mixed media marks  1.   I  hope you like . On watercolor paper, I play with different spray inks to create a colorful layer and use a blow dryer to speed up the process. I choose a stencil and apply micro distress glaze (this medium is waterproof, so the surfaces you apply it to won't be affected by water. You can use it as a resist when applying watercolors or any water-based paint or ink) .) For that resistance effect, I choose some pigment and mica inks and apply them on my paper. I use a dryer to speed up the process and to add interest and depth to the page, I stamp different stamps with permanent ink . Later I stitch with the sewing machine to integrate the elements in the composition. One of the parts...

Hello, Samantha with you today and I'm sharing a postcard I made, I love making, sending and swapping postcards. Being approximately 4inches by 6 inches in size they're perfect for clean and simple designs or more layered and detailed. I created the background using distress inks, spritzed with water and just wiping the card in the diluted inks, I then added some interest using the Vintage Postcard stamp and a stamp from Pencil Marks 3 for the leaves. The flowers, bee and text, from Inky Friends and Flowers Gone Wild, were all stamped on white card, coloured using watercolours and Prismacolour pencils, cut out and adhered in place. To finish I added some inky splats and some iridescent liquid to the wings. Here are the stamps I used; Inky Friends Flowers Gone Wild Pencil Marks 3 Vintage Postcard I do hope you like my postcard, for lots more inspiration you can find us on Facebook - Rubber Dance Stamping Lounge right here .  Wishing you a lovely day, Sam :)  

 Hello arty friends, I hope you're all well. Sometimes I really struggle to come up with my next idea so I go and sit in my art cabin (known as the "rabbit hole"), look at my supplies and usually something sparks an idea. I don't think I ever really "plan" anything - I just play. Trust in the process - isn't that what they say? Well something made me want to play with a circle today. I cut a template from a piece of card and used it to cut a circle out of a piece of scrapbook paper. I also marked where the circle would be on my journal page. I used Distress Oxides to colour the patterned paper a little. I did some clear-ish embossing in the blank area left for the circle (though this didn't show up very well). I adhered the patterned paper to my journal page. Next I stamped the butterfly onto a piece of paper that I'd coloured with Distress Oxides. I cut it out. the glued it down on one side of the circle with a piece of silver netting underneath...

Hello, Samantha with you today and I'm sharing with you a pretty item to decorate your home or give as a gift. I used a house shaped piece of MDF as a base but it could also have been square or circular. I bagan by giving the MDF house a couple of coats of white gesso and then stamped the large flower stamp directly on to the gesso. I stamped the butterfly from the Inky Friends stamp set on to white card. I coloured them both using watercolour paints. When the house was coloured I added a crackle glaze, to give shine and detail. I also added some iridescent shimmer to the butterfly wings. To finish I adhered the butterfly body to the house but used foam pads to adhere the wings so they were not flat, adding dimension to. I was going to add some text but couldn't decide which words, so decided not to in the end but it would look great with some words too! Here are the stamps I used; Sketchy Flowers #2 and Inky Friends For lots more inspiration and to join in our monthly challeng...

Hello, Samantha here today and I would like to share with you this home decor, mixed media creation. I think it's nice to have bright colours around the house, particularly when the sun may not be shining, colours can lift your mood and make you smile, my inspiration came from walking in local woods. I began with the blank MDF and the stamps I wanted to use. The wonderful thing about Rubber Dance stamps is that all the different sets work so brilliantly together, so there's endless combinations. After a couple of coats of white gesso I worked out where my focal point would be and added the bright colours, they did seem a little too bright so I added patched of a very thin layer of white gesso, just to knock it back. Then came the fun part of creating the background. I added texture and details with stamps, the text and stars. Coloured the stamped images with watercolour paints, adhered them in place and finished by adding some inky splats masking off the focal point for maximum...
