Rubber Dance Art Stamps - Blog

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 ab...

I'm  Priss  and welcome you to today's inspiration with the cutest stamps by Rubber Dance. You will find more interesting inspirations with the  Guinea Pig  set here . And with the  Night & Day Big  set here , here , and here . This time I created another page for my Rubber Dance Stamps Squared Art Journal. For the background, I used Distress Oxide Inks inspired by the colors of our October Mood Board (Yellow, Orange, and Storm blue). Then I sprayed some water to lift the colors.  To make it more interesting I stamped some marks, with the mini rainbows of the  Carved Collection 1  set, and some black inked borders with the  Mixed Media Borders  set.  As usual, I did some splashes for the finishing touch. This time I used Oxide Inks with similar colors and finally my special mix of white. After that, I applied other markings with a leaf stencil and brown ink. I didn't take a shot of that part, but I'll leave y...

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 arty friends, I hope you’re all enjoying the summer. Today I have some floral ATCs for you, I hope you like them. I started by stamping some of the Sketchy Flowers # 3 stamps onto watercolour paper. I used a Derwent watercolour set to colour these in, using red/orange tones for one set and purple tones for the other one. I used water soluble pencils in matching colours to add some shading, then cut them out. Next I cut some ATCs from papers that matched the colours of my flowers, and slightly smaller pieces from book pages. I spent some time arranging the flowers on the book pages and glued them down once I was happy with the layout. I glued the book pages onto the ATCs and then decided that there was something missing, so I used the border stamps to darken the edges a little. Until next time, Hugs from Angie x Stamps used: Sketchy Flowers # 3 Mixed Media Borders  

 Hello arty friends, how are you? I was playing with the Pencil Marks #5 set recently and loved the retro vibe one of the stamps was giving me so I thought I'd make something for the blog. I used my favourite Distress Oxide technique to create some backgrounds (you can never have enough backgrounds, right?!). I just swipe a few colours on my craft mat, spritz with water and mop up with card or paper until I like the effect. You have to experiment a little bit - some papers work better than others. I chose a yellow piece for the background and cut it into a square to fit my card. Then I picked 3 complimentary colours for the circles and stamped 3 of each colour. Next I stamped 3 lines on the background for the circles to sit on. I cut out the  circles and glued them onto the background - I experimented until I liked the layout. After that I felt like the card needed something else, and eventually I decided to stamp another one of the images from the set onto the same yellow car...
