Full Deck Challenge 42/2025 – feathers

Leave a comment

Hello and happy Wednesday! Here is my take on the ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge 42/2025 – feathers.

I started by using the plain orange paper (used it on my previous deck card too) on the background with an old book paper scrap. On top of that I added some Distress Oxide ink in walnut stain thru the new Rubber Dance stencil “Mini Textures 1“. Next I added a layer of Dina Wakley Gloss Spray in “marine”.

The feathers that I used as a focal point are from the previous deck cards collage paper bit. So in a way the feathers are also a carry over item. My constant is a date stamp. I also again added some stamped words and a button to finish the deck card. Here is the process video:

See you again next week with another take!

Masked card background with Rubber Dance products and Distress Oxide Inks

Leave a comment

Hello, it´s my time to share a project over at Rubber Dance today. I am up with a masked card background idea and step-by-step tutorial. I used the new Sketchy Leaves 7 and Collage Leaves 3 for this card project.

I had a pile of previously made collage papers and I chose one of those as my starting point. The Sketchy Leaves 7 stencil pack has these lovely leaf masks in it and I wanted to use them to create some more depth to the background paper.

I started by placing the masks onto the paper and dabbing Distress Oxide Ink aged mahogany ink over them. After finishing this step, I removed the masks and added some water droplets to the paper. This lifted some of the ink off and created more interest. I also wanted the leaf patterns to stand out more from the background, so I outlined them with a black pen.

After finishing this step, I added droplets of golden pigment to the paper for additional shine. Then I just adhered the paper to a card base, added a collage fodder butterfly as a focal point. Next I stamped some sentiments to the leftover collage paper I had started the process with with black ink. This way I have the same colors going on the sentiments as well as the masked leaf patterns.

Here is a video step-by-step for more insight:

I hope you enjoy the inspiration and play a little! Have fun!

A set of mixed media cards with a process video

Leave a comment

Hello, I have a mixed media card set share for you today. For these cards I used the Sketchy Leaves 5 stencil, Sketchy Flowers #3, Mix It Up 5 and Butterflies and Moths stamps.

I started off by applying modeling paste thru the Sketchy Leaves 5 stencil directly onto the card base. After that I used ocker and light green paints to add the first layer of paint to the card. I then wiped some of the paint off the stenciled areas with a baby wipe.

Next I added black stamping with the Mix It Up 5 stamp set. First onto the stenciled leaves, then slightly next to it. After that I added golden pigment splatters to the background. For finishing touches I added a stamped butterfly and sentiment.

Here is a process video for you to watch:

I hope to have inspired you with this card set tutorial! Have fun creating! Hop over to Rubber Dance store and purchase a stamp set of a stencil. It will support a small business to survive these crazy tax times!

Full Deck Challenge 40/2025 – sweets

Leave a comment

Hello and happy Thursday! Here is my take on the ShanoukiArt “Full Deck Challenge 2025”, number 40: sweets.

I used another collage paper gifted to me by Yuna from Austria as my background paper. I wripped it into pieces and adhered them onto the deck card. On top of that I added my constant – a date stamp. After that I took this Rubber Dance stencil and added some modeling paste thru it onto the background.

Next I applied turquoise Gloss Spray splatters on top. My carry over item are the tiny stars (a paper I used on my previous deck card). I adhered them to accompany my “sweets” theme focal point – a cupcake. The stars on top add detail. Finally, two words added with this Rubber Dance stamp set, finish the deck card.

Here is the process video:

See you again next week with another take!

Full Deck Challenge 39/2025 – stars

Leave a comment

Hello and happy Thursday! This is my take on the ShanoukiArt “Full Deck Challenge 2025”, number 39: stars.

I used some of the wild/bold colored collage paper as my carry over item from the previous deck card. Then I added some gelli printed and glitter paste stenciled (this Rubber Dance stencil) paper in tiny bits onto the background.

My constant is a date stamp (on the background) and on top I added DIY vintage tickets (using this and this stamp sets from Rubber Dance). I attached them with a stapler onto the deck card. On top I added a fussy cut vintage photo of a movie star (again matching the star theme with this one, too). I then added a stamped word and colored it with Neocolor II.

Here is the process video:

Full Deck Challenge 38/2025 – chaos

Leave a comment

Hello and happy Thursday! Here is my take on the ShanoukiArt “Full Deck Challenge 2025”, number 38/2025: chaos.

For this one I again used Yuna´s collage papers that she gifted to me. This time I chose bold and colorful/wild ones). And as a carry-over-item another collage paper with a face on it. I only wripped off the eyes, mouth and nose and adhered them onto the deck card very randomly.

On top I added some stenciling with a marker using this Rubber Dance stencil. After that I stamped with black ink and this Rubber Dance stamp on top. I tried to keep everything very chaotic (lots going on here and there). I colored the eyes with Neocolor II crayon to make them stand out better. My constant is on the background (a date stamp). And I finished the deck card off with this Rubber Dance sentiment stamp set words.

Here is the process video:

Hello and happy Thursday! Here is my take on the ShanoukiArt “Full Deck Challenge 2025”, number 37: coffee.

I used collage papers gifted to me by Yuna from Australia and cafe con leche colored paper strips on the background. The collage papers are my carry over items from the previous deck card. On top I added some stamping with Hero Arts “cup-o-joe” brown ink (again the coffee theme there) and this Rubber Dance stamp.

After that I took a piece of gelli printed paper and stamped a STAMPlorations coffee mug with a sentiment as my focal point. I then also added the same brown stamp ink and stamping onto the mug. My constant is a date stamp (on the background) and I again used this Rubber Dance stamp set words to add detail.

Turn ink residue on a stencil into a fun card background!

Leave a comment

Hello, I am up with a card project over at Rubber Dance blog today again. For this card I used the Leaves 2 stencil and Autumn Leaves and Mix It Up 7 stamp sets. I got this idea while creating the “Hello Fall” art journal page. I was left with a stencil that had ink residue on both sides of it. I didn´t want to waste the ink, so I used it for this card background.

I like the soft look of it. Remember, the Distress Inks I used were ripe persimmon, forest moss, peeled paint and mustard seed. Those are quite strong colors on their own. But the “second image” of them turned out very soft.

I again added some golden pigments onto the surface. Then stamped the brown image with Distress Oxide walnut stain tone for contrast. I had some watercolor style stamped Autumn Leaves left, so I created a focal point with them and a paper sunflower. A handwritten word added for sentiment and the card was done in no time.

Here is the full step-by-step for you to watch. Enjoy!

I hope you get inspired to play a little with Rubber Dance stencils!
Happy creating!

Hello and happy Wednesday! Here is yet another take on the ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge 2025. The prompt number 36 was “flowers”.

I used a paint residue paper (on the right side) as my carry-over-item from the previous deck card. My constant is a date stamp. On the left side I used a collage paper gifted to me by Yuna from Australia. I used the flowers as a background detail. On top I added some Rubber Dance Mix It Up 5 stamp set stamping.

Next I applied some Ocean Gloss Spray by Dina Wakley and decorated the piece with a Rubber Dance flower and stamped words. Stamps are from the Mix It Up 7 and Mix A Sentiment 2023 stamp sets.

Full Deck Challenge 35/2025 – letters of the alphabet

Leave a comment

Hello and happy Wednesday! Here is my take on the ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge number 35: letters of the alphabet.

As my carry over item from the previous deck card, I used the dark green paper strip and the one with the stenciled stars on it (on the previous card I used the backside, here it´s the front).

The other paper piece is from my gelli printing projects, where I wipe residue inks etc. onto a separate paper. I usually save these papers for later use and somehow they always find a way into artworks.

My constant is a date stamp and it´s added to the background in a repeated manner. I then used tiny sticker alphas as my “letters of the alphabet”. I scattered them onto the background very randomly to create a pattern with them. Next I took a fuchsia Posca pen and added splatters with the marker tothe surface.

I finished the card off with a Rubber Dance stamp image from the set “Mix It Up 6” and added stamped words from the “Mix A Sentiment 2023” set.

Here is again the process video – have fun watching!

See you again next week with another deck card take!
