Rubber Dance Art Stamps - Blog

Hello, Samantha here today :) Once the festive time is over and the new year has begun I find myself very much looking forward to Spring with warmth and flowers. I have already seen my first Snowdrops on 31 December so Spring really is just around the corner! Today I'm sharing a page I made for my art journal, (there are no words, the journaling is later for me). It measure 8 inches by 8 inches and is full of texture and brightness and hopefully it will brighten your day as it did mine while I created it. I used four wonderful Rubber Dance Stamp sets for my journal page; Textured Birds for the main character. Weed Love for background detail. Loose Florals #1 for the smaller flowers and Sketchy Flowers #3 for the big flower blooms. Here's my tutorial: If like me you sometimes find a blank page a little daunting, I nearly always start a project by adding background colour, for this page I used acrylic paints then applied white gesso through a stencil as those colours were very br...

Hello, Samantha with you today and I'm sharing a page I created for my art journal.  Autumn is my favourite time of year and I wanted to to make an autumnal page but not necessarily using autumn colours, I wanted bright colours to be a celebration. September sees and hears the return of robins to my garden, they greet me each morning singing their beautiful song, the moon always seems to look better at this time of year and I love to go mushroom hunting and there are still some lovely flowers to be found.  I remove my pages from my journal before decorating and will then rebound later when they are all complete, so the writing will be added later, so at the moment I have a lot of art journal pages with no journaling, lol. I began by adding lovely bright colours for my background. I always panic when I do this as they are very bright and I wonder how it comes together! Then using a stencil and white gesso everything becomes a little calmer. Don't worry if your page bends when w...

 Hi friends!  Lisa today with you on the blog and I'm happy to share my new art journal inspiration for Rubber Dance design team playing with these awesome stamps and my favorite watercolors! To start I brushed a coat of white gesso on my pages. Then I used my favorite watercolors to create a circular rainbow effect on my pages. I chose Grungy Stuff , Music Sheet and Mixed Media Marks stamp sets and I made a little stamping with archival inks. Then I stamped and cutted some butterflies on a white cardstock from Inky Friends stamp set and I used them as embellishments on my pages. For the final touch I made some splatters with gold watercolor. I used these products from the shop: https://www.rubberdance.de/big-sheets/music/#cc-m-product-13992010033 https://www.rubberdance.de/small-sheets/grungy-stuff/#cc-m-product-14004441033 https://www.rubberdance.de/big-sheets/inky-friends/#cc-m-product-14383086833 I hope you enjoyed my art journal inspiration for today!

 Hi friends!  Lisa today on the blog and I'm happy to share with you my new art journal inspiration for Rubber Dance design team playing with scrap of papers, watercolors and fabulous stamps!  To start I glued on my page some piece of paper doilies and old book pages. After that I brushed a coat of clear gesso and I used my favorite watercolors. I like the effect of watercolors on a background of old book pages!  I let it dry very well and I used Mixed Media Marks and Grungy Stuff stamp sets with archival inks black and teal. I chose Inky Friends stamp set and I stamped and cutted a big butterfly from a White cardstock. I used also Mix A Sentiment stamp set on a black cardstock and I embossed with white powder. I glued all the elements of my focal point and I added splatters with black liquid paint for add more contrast on the page.
