Rubber Dance Art Stamps - Blog

Hello Rubber Dance Friends, it's me, Priss ( @artful.layers ), and today I'm showing you this winter tag with  Playful Penguins  to attach to a gift for your coolest friend. To make this, you just need a tag die-cut in three different sizes, inks, stencils, and of course the gorgeous stamps of the sets  Playful Penguins  and  Mix A Sentiment 1 .  These are the steps: Stamp with a stencil over the watercolor paper with blue inks and some water sprayed. Over this, stamp some words randomly with  Mix A Sentiment 1  set and permanent ink. With the little die-cut tag, cut the watercolor paper that you prepared before. Then take the next size and cut a tag of white watercolor cardstock and with blue inks paint the border. This will be a colorful frame for your tag.  Now, glue the little tag over the big one, crop a hole, put the embellishments, and tie a ribbon. I stamped the sentiment  "Stay cool" of the  Playful Penguins  set, over...

 Hi everyone. One of the good things to come out of the pandemic is the reinforcement of how so very special our friends are. So this card is for all our friends, near and far. Would you like to see how it was made? I have a step x step for you. And I made a little discovery that  uses masking (my favourite technique) but on a gel plate this time. The baby penguin, from Playful Penguins ,  is the first thing to be stamped. Mask off the baby penguin, stamp the mom, masking off again. Then stamp the moon from Celestial and the floating ice sheets from Playful Penguins . It's surprising how many stamps are in this set. I stamped the waves once, then masked the top of it so that I could add the seal. I wanted it to look like he is popping up out of the water to say hello. The seal is then masked and more waves are added around him to create the sea. This is where my happy little discovery happens. I wanted to have the reflection of the moon in the water. I decided to use my g...

Hi everyone,  Mariken here, with a tutorial for you, making sweet little Christmas cards.  Oohh, that penguin... This time used the stamps Playful Penguins, Textured Feathers and Mix a Sentiment #1 I  made a simple background with Ecoline Brush pens, made some marks with white embossing powder with stamps from Textured Feathers . I cutted out my Christmas trees, and the little present. The penguins are colored with watercolors. Then glue the trees on your card. I stitched them over the middle. And then...you've made two sweet Christmas cards...

Hi everyone, I hope you have been having a crafty day. It's Dot here with a step x step pictorial for you for this under water sea horse playground. There are heaps of fun elements in the Textured Sea Creatures set. The little extras really do come in handy as you will see further down this post. I thought I would go through my colouring process with you. If you are like me, then colouring can be a little daunting. There is a way around it that I find comfortable, I hope you do to. Slap a little water colour paint onto some card and then stamp your images. Once you cut them out they look totally different. I filled the white areas in with a little orange water colour. It's subtle, but it helps with the next step. Using the water colours as your guide, you can intensify the colour with pencils. Black fine liner and a white paint pen finishes these little creatures off. Now it is onto creating a back...
