Artist Trading Cards with Textured Flowers by Kate

Image
Hi, Kate here.  Today I would like to share with you my tutorial for easy but interesting ATC cards using Rubber Dance Textured Flowers stamps. The fun thing is that I used papers for them where I cleaned my brayer during gelli printing. From time to time I am keeping those paper in my stash when I think that they are interesting. I stepped quite a lot out of my comfort zone because I used colours which I do not use usually.  I hope you will be inspired.       Stamps used: Textured Flowers ,  Pencil Marks 2,   Collage Elements Have a nice day  Kate Rubber Dance links: Website Facebook Pinterest Blog Instagram YouTube

  Hello everyone!!  I'm Josi Tomàs and I'm happy to be here with you again to use Rubber Dance stamps together.  Do you remember my last post? We learned how to make Denim Art Journal Cover .  Today I will do the interior. I leave you below the step by step and video for to do it together... ___________ STEP BY STEP  1. Add some texture with sheet music or book paper and the negatives of the dies you cut (glue with glue diluted in water). 2. Protect the project with white gesso diluted with water (we want it to show). 3. Paint the entire background with your fingers (I chose three colours). Go over some areas with white paint to give an aged effect. 4. Stamp your favourite stamps on white tissue paper and glue them onto the project with glue diluted in water. Dry it well. 5. Stamp background stamps with permanent ink and decorate with a phrase. ___________________________________ I hope you like it and enjoyed!!   See you soon Rubber Dance friends!! I...

Inky Friends Card by Toni

Image
Hey everyone Toni here Today I've made a card a quick and simple card, but I love the effect    First I used my small dylusions Gelli round plate and distress oxide ink in Frayed Burlap and Fired Brick  Layering them and spritzing with water between layers The last layer I let the oxide ink dry naturally and it develops a stunning colour from the oxidation. Then I stamped the bee from the stamp set Inky Friends on separate piece of card coloured with watercolours and stamped them image straight on to the card. Before I glued the bee down on top of my stamped image I folded the wings so they would stand out    Finally I stamped a sentiment from Mix A Sentiment #1 , edged it with some fired brick  and glued it to the card.  Then I used a stamp from Mixed Media Marks and added some background effects.     Thank you for joining me and I hope you give this a go.  I'd love to see what you make and you can find me on these socials. ...

You Can Never Have Too Much Cake, Card by Dot Leathbridge

Image
 Hello everyone. Where was my mind when I made this card? On cake of course. You can never have too much cake, it's good for the soul. The stamps used on this card belong to From Moo To You and it is a hidden gem of a set with lots of extra little bits to play with. The background was made simply by brushing some water colour paint across the card with a nice wide paint brush. If it is a little wobbly then that is a good thing. It helps it look a little more rustic. The images are all from the From Moo To You stamp set and the colours are from our Mood Board this month. Dairy cows in my part of the world are often black and white so this cow has been left un-coloured (except for her tongue). Then not to complicate things too much I've added a touch of pink here and there. The hearts were stamped with white paint because the texture it gives when I do this using a silhouette makes me smile. Then I decided to dangle them by drawing in some thread and adding bows. And here is a c...

Art Journaling with Sketchy images and marks by Ellie Knol

Image
A good day to you.. Ellie Knol here...  I hope you are doing well!  I had a play in an Art Journal, to be true it was a challenge in my FB Dutch Art Journal group. I gave the participants one assignment per day, as prompts, and also tips to go along with it. They turned out to be 7 days of assignments.   I decided to share the days (steps) with you, why not? We had fun!   STEP 1 Optional : prime the pages with a thin layer of gesso and leave to dry.  Spray over a mask (from Magenta) with a pearl ink spray and close the journal.  Let it sit for a while, until the ink is (almost) dry.  This will give you 2 pages colored at once, mirrored coloring of course.  STEP 2 Spray the spread with a fixative, and leave to dry.  Tear music themed bookpaper and use the edges of the paper (and maybe the title of the music) to create a frame around the spread as shown. All the edges must be a torn edge. Also adhere some bookpaper with notes within t...

Cards with Flowers Gone Wild by Mariken

Hi everyone,    Mariken here, with a tutorial for you,  making these two cards with the Beautiful stampset Flowers Gone Wild.  I also used the Mix a Sentiment #2 and Mixed Media Marks I  made a some backgrounds with acrylic paint and my gelliplate  and glued some cut-outs on it.  After that I stitched the borders with my sewingmachine.   I colored the flowers with watercolors. Then I cutted them out and glued them on the background. After that I made some marks with Mixed Sentiments #2 and added BLOOM and FLOWER from Flowers Gone Wild. There you are, two colorful flowercards! The stamps I used:   Flowers Gone Wild. Mix a Sentiment #2 Mixed Media Marks  That's it for this time!  And at last a little reminder that our beautiful Mood Board March  continues in the  Rubber Dance Stamping Lounge  on Facebook. We hope to see you there.   Enjoy your day!  Mariken  

Card with Sketchy Flowers by Priss

Image
Hi, Rubber's friends!!  Priss here with my first post as a DT Member. I made a lovely card for someone really special with the  Sketchy Flowers #1  stamps I leave you the video at the end of this post, and the step by step below.  First, we need a black cardstock about 10x6 inches, and fold it in three.  Then we need to cut three pieces of watercolour paper, just a little smaller than each part of the black Card.  In the centre piece, I stamped my sentiment with black embossing powder "You don´t have to be perfect" from the set  Flowers Gone Wild . On the other two pieces, I put some white gesso and while it is still wet, I stamped it with permanent green ink. In the video, you'll see that I change my mind and used acrylic paint. That's because my ink is mostly dry.  Rubber Dance stamps are perfect to use with this stamping technique on wet gesso (just be careful to clean them immediately with warm water and a soft cloth).  I also used ...
