Rubber Dance Art Stamps - Blog

Hello, Samantha here today and I'm sharing another page that's ready for my art journal. I shall probably use this page in the autumn when I go out on a mushroom hunt, I just wish I had a funky pink car like this one!  This was a lovely, fun page to make, isn't it magic to take plain white and make something so colourful? Here's how I began, by stamping the wonderful Rubber Dance stamps on to white card. I then made the background using three colours of acrylic paint and some brown spray, keeping everything very random so it has an organic feel to it. To complete the background and get my placing right I stamped directly on to the background. Then came adding colour to the stamped mushrooms and car. I used watercolours and coloured pencils. To finish I added highlights and details with Posca pens, some glitter on the road to make it magical and glossy accents to the shiny bits of the car and adhered it using foam pads so the shadow is natural and it really looks like it...

Hi everyone. I am back today with another Handsome Hedgehog card for you. Last time I toyed with the idea of using different mushrooms in the background as an after thought. So this time I thought it might be fun to bring this idea to life. You can see the other Handsome Hedgehog card here. The 2 cards look totally different. The mushrooms that have been added into the background are Funny Fungi . I think they go well with the zentangle image of Handsome Hedgehog . Here are some more pics for you showing the background and close ups. The background has been made using alcohol inks and a stencil on a gel plate. As I like to fiddle and relax as I craft, my pencils were used to add some more colour highlights and to add more depth.   There are some white patchy parts on the background which often happens with gel printing. This helped me decide where to place my images so that more of the colourful background would show through. The background was quite busy and full of colour so...

Hi Everyone, Saadia here with an art journal spread for you. I hope you like it. It's a simple spread, made on a Gelli printed paper. I glued the paper in my journal. Did a little bit of background stamping with inks and  Doodle Borders 2  and  Mix a sentiment  stamps. After that, I stamped and colored the focal image from  Funny Fungi  stamps and then glued the image onto my page. Added a cloud image from  In the air  stamp set. Finished the spread by adding a title from the  Journal Words  set. That's all for now. A reminder that we have a challenge that goes all month on our face book page which you can find  here . Thank you for visiting. Take care, Saadia Nawaz. Stamps used: In the Air Funny Fungi Journal Words  Mix a sentiment  Doodle Borders 2

Hi Everyone, Saadia here with an art journal page. I hope you like it. Rubber Dance stamps provided me the stamps to work with, but the opinions I share here are my own. I made this journal page in a Dylusions Dyalog. I sprayed Dylusions ink sprays on to my craft mat, lightly sprayed it with water and then dipped Dyalog's page in that ink and water mixture. Dried this with a heat tool. Next step was background stamping with  Art defined  and  Grungy stuff  stamp sets. I stamped the  Funny Fungi  images on a white cardstock. I colored and fussy cut them. Glued them on to the journal page with matte gel medium. Added a border around the page with  Doodle border 2  stamps. Finished the page by adding a quote from  Small Grungy Butterflies  stamp set. That's all for now. A reminder that we have a challenge that goes all month on our face book page which you can find here . It is always ANYTHI...
