Textured Flowers & StarTrish Design Canvas

Image
Hello stampers, Craftyfield here with a larger than usual project. When I saw Bibi's collab projects ( here and here ) with  Trish Latimer 's StarTrish Design stamps and her own Textured Flowers I was tickled... I had already decided that these designs belonged together and was planning a piece of my own. So this is my contribution to this collaboration! The background is inspired by Trish's process, although obviously I made it my own with "my" colours, motifs and foreground scene! My substrate is a humble box lid, but it is canvas size at 28 x 32 cms (11 x 12 1/2 inches) and will be in constant use during my crafting hours as it will hold some of my stash... Background: I smeared the paints in layers over some White Tinting base, using a brayer first and my fingers at the end. The stencilling and lid printing was also done with acrylic paints whilst the stamping has all been done with Archival ink. Finally ...

Interview with DT Member Susanne

Intervjuet kan også leses på norsk, klikk her (interview in Norwegian) Name : Susanne Rose Location : Bayern, Germany Blog :   Susanne Rose Designs H ow long have you been stamping and what made you start? I've been stamping for 2-3 years now. I started because I wanted to create stamped polymer clay jewellry. This brought me to cardmaking and scrapbooking. After I became a guest designer for Rubber Dance my passion for stamps started growing fast. How do you improve your skills and/or learn new techniques?  I learned lots of techniques on YouTube and by experimenting by myself. How would you describe your style? I'd say my style is totally mixed media and very colourful. What do you make the most often?  I LOVE to make tags and cards. I work in my art journal to find ideas for canvases. I also love creating mini albums to put in family photos. As I don't share pri...

Flowers and recycling

Image
Hello and welcome, it's DT-member Anita here today. Today I thought to show a little recycling. As I wrote in the interview - which was published both here and in the Scandinavian-language blog , I like to recycle. For example a used coffee cup from the petrol station, or a nut box, and then you make a completely different design on this. Here is what I've done: Susanne Rose, who is also a Design Team member at Rubber Dance, has designed these amazing stylish flowers.  They called Textured Flowers and you can find them in Rubber Dance online store h ere .  I just love these!  They can be used for any project.  Even a recycling project. Here I will show you step by step, both how they looked before I started the whole process, up to the final and (I think) great result.  I started here I added gesso Then I used Lindy's sprays in Baby Blue Eyes Aqua and Creme Brulee Cream colours. Too bad the camera failed to capture the...
