Rubber Dance Art Stamps - Blog

 Hi friends! Lisa today to share with you my new art journal inspiration playing with Rubber Dance stamps! To start I brushed my page with white gesso. Then I used my favorite watercolors to create a rainbow effect. I let it dry very well and I spatulated a little bit of white gesso here and there to create more interest into my background. I used Mixed Media Marks stamp set with archival inks. I took Inky Friends stamp set and I stamped a large butterfly on a White cardstock. I created my sentiment that I stamped on a black cardstock and I embossed with white powder.  Finally I made splatters with gold liquid paint. I used these products from the shop:  https://www.rubberdance.de/big-sheets/mixed-media-marks/#cc-m-product-14348286233 https://www.rubberdance.de/big-sheets/inky-friends/#cc-m-product-14383086833 I hope you enjoyed my art journal inspiration for today!

Creating backgrounds with watercolors on watercolor paper is so much fun. Especially when the watercolors granulate a little.  When wet, place some household foil on top of the wet color, and leave to dry. It creates some unexpected texture.  Stamping adds to it all. Choose a stamping ink that will complement the background color.  Fussycut an image to be the focal point as shown.  I really hope you got inspired to get creative.    Rubber Dance Stamps: The Rubber Dance Webshop  Grungy Butterflies Mixed Media Marks Vintage Script

 Hi everyone, Thanks so much for stopping by. Today I've got a card tutorial for you using Da Vinci Woman #1, Weed Love, Doodle Borders #2, Round In Circles  and Beautiful Words. The Da Vinci group of stamps have long been a favourite of mine. There is just something so relaxing about them. Maybe it's because they are classics. Here we go! I've been following Susanne's YouTube ideas and had a go at one of these ideas by using stamps on a gel plate. Then I added some white patches to the edges to cover  some parts that I wasn't liking so much. Using pink paint, I then stamped some Weed Love around the edges. This started looking quite feminine which helped me choose my stamps. Da Vinci Woman #1 I wanted a soft image, nothing too heavy, so that it would fit in with the background. An older black ink pad came in handy, knowing that it would come out more of a grey colour instead. So far so good. I made a rough mask of the woman, placed it over the stamped image and t...

Hi, I'm Vero (@ Vero.kt) and I welcome you to today's inspiration Martes. How's everybody ? I've been playing with   Doodle Flowers ,  Mixed media marks  , and  Grungy Stuff  to create a colorful Atc´s , that I hope you like. Very easy to do, we started. We cut watercolor paper to a size of  2.5 x 3.5 inches. In my case, the paper is smooth and hot pressed, and I color the backgrounds with  pigments. When the backgrounds dry (we can speed up the process with a heat gun) we will add texture and depth with different inks, in my case I have used  distress oxide.To start, I choose a stamp from the  Mixed media marks  , apply the inks, spray water, and stamp, (I'm not looking for definition, I'm looking for a watercolor effect, watery). I help myself with the dryer and go back to stamp with different inks, to continue adding depth and texture. Finally, to integrate the different prints into the backgrund with a splash in white.  I choose...

Hi everyone,    Mariken here, with a tutorial for you, making these two cards with the Textured Birds .  I also used the borders from Stitched & Frame . You know, I love making little cards!! I  made a simple background with acrylic paint and my gelliplate.  The blacks dots I sponged with black acrylic paint and a stencil. For the birds I made a background with watercolors. I cutted out my Textured Birds and glued them on the background. With white powder I embossed the borders. At last some white lines with a poscamarker around the black circles. There you are, two little happy cards! The stamps I used: Textured Birds   Stitched & Frame .   That's it for now!  And at last a little reminder that our beautiful Mood Board January  continues in the  Rubber Dance Stamping Lounge  on Facebook. We hope to see you there.    Thank you for your visit here!  Mariken
