Rubber Dance Art Stamps - Blog

 Hello lovlies, I got some new stamps to welcome at my stash...the amazing Celestial Stamp Set . So I really need to use them in my newest project. As i somehow connect them with a mystic theme, I felt like creating some bookmarks. Because as reading books is like travelling into other worlds/spheres.... :) Okay I am going to drift away....back to my book marks project. I started with stamping some of the stars using a watermark stamp pad and an heat embossing powder on a large piece of mixed media paper.  After heat embossing it, I used my watercolours to create a night sky. Primary I used black, dark blue and a violet colour.  Turn this backround into book marks I cutted them down to size and used a corner chomper wo round the edges and added a hole at the top of each of the three pieces.  And finally it's time to use the suns and moons....yay...therefor I stamped them all, again using some heat embossing powder. As the base cardstock I used a grasspaper, beca...

Hello, Samantha here today and I'm sharing a home decoration hanging I made inspired by walks looking for mushrooms. I love bright colours, did you know that mushrooms come in all colours of the rainbow? This project was an absolute joy to create, all the layers made it lots of fun, it's also great fun to mix and match lots of different Rubber Dance stamp sets if you have them as they all work so very well together, here's how I did it..... I began with a round piece of board measuring with a diameter of 8 inches, I die cut some circles from an old book I'm recycling and adhered them in place. Using lots of brightly coloured acrylic paints and just one grey neutral, I quite randomly covered the whole area of the board. The colours were very bright indeed and to help the details pop off the background I added some white gesso, just in some places and very thinly. Using the Celestial and Sketchy Leaves stamp sets, I heat embossed some background details. Again using Celes...

Hello, Samantha here today and I'd like to share with you my tutorial showing how I made this ocean inspired home decor project. I began with an MDF fish shape, to begin with I was going to have my fish pointing upwards. I used just two stamp sets, the new AHOY set and a firm favourite of mine, Celestial. I gave the fish a couple of coats of white gesso and stamped my chosen images on white card. Then the fish changed direction as I was laying out the images. Using acrylic paints I painted the fish, I used the hanging hole as placement for his eye and simply cut out a circle of white card and adhered in place. Using a Crop-A-Dile I added two new hanging holes. I wanted to keep the stamped images white but added a little shading to the moon and clouds and a pop of red on the boat as red, white and blue are nautical colours. To finish I added some twine for hanging and some holographic flake paste to sea to make it glisten in the moon light. I do hope you like it, thank you for looki...
