Rubber Dance Art Stamps - Blog

Hi everyone!  Today I have two cards for you. First I made some prints with my gelliplate. I used acrylic paint, Dylusion sprays and stencils. Here you see the result. You can make your own background, if you like. After that I used "Fave Flower" and used my watercolor from Prima Marketing. For the butterflies I sprayed some Dylusions on watercolorpaper. For the accents on the background I used "Borders #1", "Grungy Stuff", "Mix a Sentiment #2" and "Journal Words". I added some white dots with my Posca markers. I have used the following stamps:   Please don´t forget that we have a challenge each month!  You can find the challenge here in the  Rubber Dance Stamping Lounge .  That´s it for today! Mariken XX

Hi there! Susanne writing today. I have to share a late Valentine's card with our Bold & Beautiful stamp set. These are wonderful flower prints, perfect for backgrounds. I used my Memento Dye Inks and stamped some of the flowers in different sizes with different colours. I used white cardstock. The sentiment comes from our Fave Flowers stamp set. I cut a border on top with a STAMPlorations die and mounted everything to a craft cardbase with a strip of glittered Washi tape on the bottom. I hope you had a gorgeous VALENTINE'S DAY! Thanks for stopping by today! Susanne. Supplies: Rubber Dance Stamps: Others: Memento Dye Inks STAMPlorations Border die Glittered Washi Tape Cardstock/ Cardbase

Hi everyone, Donna here today with an idea to turn your beloved Rubber Dance stamps into a brooch you can take with you everywhere you go, now there's a good idea huh?! I suggest you grab a warm cuppa as there are quite a few pictures to guide you through the process ;) I used a wonderful flower from the  Crazy Flowers 1  set and a piece of medium thickness Calico which can be bought pretty much anywhere and is not expensive. I used black Archival ink to stamp directly onto the fabric, it's amazing what a clear image you can actually get. Next step was to colour the flower with some yummy  That's Crafty!  Shimmer Paints. I chose these especially as they're quite translucent so will not cover up the flower design too much. I stamped the inner part of the flower onto some red felt, cut it out and then sewed some white beads onto the circles already contained in the flower centre. Once the beads were sewn onto the red felt, I then stitc...

Hello Everyone Debs here today to show how you can use your stamps to create a still life painting. I chose to do one of flowers, (of course) but any object stamp would work. Getting your composition- plan what you want in your painting but keep it simple. You can see below that I chose to use the flowers from Fav Flowers which I stamped and cut round. Using it as a guide I drew my pot, and to add some depth I added a painting in the background. Choosing your colours and Medium- keep you palette simple but use some contrast colours, (those opposite on a colour wheel) to give interest. I used watercolours as I love how you can play with the colour by adding or taking away water, but it’s your choice. Balance- I actually drew my pot too big so added a few flower stems to give balance, otherwise it looked wrong. My pot is slightly left while the painting  is to the right. There is no wrong or right way, so play around to see what works for you. Buildi...

Hello everyone Debs here to share my journal I  made to take notes and sketches in when wandering around the beautiful countryside. You see, I don't currently have a garden that's mine, so I need to make notes of things I see and like, to remind me.  I got so carried away with creating the front page, that I forgot to take photos at first, but I'll walk you through what I did. The background was created first with layer of chalk paint applied with a brayer, on top of which I repeated the process  With metallic acrylic paint. I added some script in Black ink and once dry started my stamping with flowers. The set comes with a tiny circle stamp which I used to add Interest to the background.  Below you can see how I completed the flowers, outlining with a fine paint pen. I added white highlights to give a stylised affect.  All gardens need butterflies so I used my current favourite ones, as I new they would add a magical look to my page.  The flowers and butte...
