Stenciled Art Journal Page – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello! It´s my turn today over at Rubber Dance blog and I am up with a heavily layered, stenciled art journal page share today. For this page I used the Dotted 1, Big Ovals, Cross It, Wheels, Stars 1 and Marks 2 stencils. There are also some details added with the Doodle Flowers 2 stamp set.

I started by applying heavy body paint in “olive” with a palette knife onto the background. On top of that I used a foam brush to dab “sand” and “apricot” tones thru Big Ovals and Dotted 1 stencils. After that I outlined some of the dabbed paint “circles” with a black pen. Next I took a piece of a old dictionary book and wripped and glued strips of paper onto the background.

Next I wiped some “aloe” tone with my fingers onto the wripped dictionary page pieces to blend them into the background. I then added a layer of “tangelo” with a palette knife onto the page. Next I took the Cross It stencil out and added some white paint thru it onto the orange areas for contrast.

After that I took a black with glimmer mist misted tag out and again dabbed the “lemon” paint onto the tag thru the Wheels stencil. After that I put some “lime” toned paint onto the palette knife and wiped some of it onto the tag. The next layer was done using “stoked” tone and the Marks 2 stencil. I then added the last bits of “turquoise” paint with a palette knife thru the Stars 1 stencil onto the tag.

I sprinkled some Gloss Spray in “turquoise” for interest onto the art journal page. I then glued the stenclied black tag onto the art journal page. After that I added a misted doilie for decoration and created a cluster of leaves with “Doodle Flowers 2″ leaves next to it. There is a video at the end of this post on how I created the leaves.

I finished the page with a paper doll by Tim Holtz and some black and white alphabet stickers. Here is the start-to-finish video for further information:

And this is the video on how I made the leaves fodder:

I hope I could inspire you today. Happy creating!

From residue gelli prints to card focal points – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello, it´s my turn again over at the Rubber Dance blog today and I am up sharing another take on residue gelli prints turned into card focal points. Like on my last post, I created another set of die cut focal points out of residue gelli printing papers. This time using different color combinations and stenciling the card backgrounds, instead of stamping.

I first die cut the residue gelli printing paper with die cut dies into different forms and sizes (banners, circles and squares). I then added some stamping with black stamp ink and some heat embossed details with red embossing ink and the Pencil Marks 8 stamp set.

After that I took the Ornament 1 stencil and added brown Distress Oxide Ink thru it onto the die cut pieces. Then I took the Mix It Up 4 stamp set and added some stamping with blue StazOn ink here and there onto the background.

Next I took out some premade Sketchy Leaves 5 stencil fodder and adhered them onto the die cut pieces. On top of those I added some yarn and a fodder butterfly, created with a gel plate and Butterflies and Moths stamp set.

I also wanted to add a stamped word onto the focal point elements and took out the Mixed Sentiments 1 stamp set. I just used one word from each sentiment, instead of the whole quote.

Instead of adding a stamped background, I chose to stencil Distress Oxide Inks thru the Ornament 1, Dotted 1 and Organic 4 stencils onto the card bases and then adhered the die cut pieces with fodder onto the cards.

I also wanted to add a stamped sentiment to every card, so I used an older German birthday sentiment stamp set from my own stash for stamping them.

After finishing the cards, I added some Gloss Spray droplets to the butterflies wings here and there for additional color and interest.

Here is a video on how I created the Sketchy Leaves 5 stencil fodder that I used on some of the focal point elements:

And here is a short video on the focal point elements and how I put the cards together:

I hope I could inspire you to play with your Rubber Dance stamps and stencils and create colorful cards.

Happy crafting

Art Journal page with stencils, Distress Oxide Inks and Textured Mushrooms 2

Leave a comment

Hello everyone, it´s my turn to share another inspiration project over at Rubber Dance blog today again. This time I have a fun art journal page share with tutorial prepared for inspiration. I used Big Ovals, Textured Mushrooms 2 and Round in Circles on this page and I have a video tutorial up for steps and details.

For this art journal page I used the Gloss Spray painted mushrooms I had created for my previous post and hand plenty left over from. But first I started by creating a fun background with the Big Ovals stencil and Distress Oxide inks in orange and yellow tones. On top of that I have added Gloss Spray splatters in aloe, fuchsia and sand.

Next I´ve arranged the mushrooms in two circles into the middle of the page and added a Distress Oxide ink stamped circle image (from the Round In Circles set) into the very center of the page. Then I stamped some additional circles with brown stamp ink here and there to the background and finished the page off with some medieval Gloss Spray splatters and a fall themed quote.

Here is a video tutorial to give you a better idea of every step of the process – hope you like it!

I really like this stamp set so much – it was so much fun to create something in bright and happy fall colours into my art journal. I hope you get inspired to create too!

ATC´s with Mix it Up 6 stamp set, stencils and Distress Oxide inks – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello everyone, I have an Artist Trading Card set up over at the Rubber Dance blog this time. I created these Artist Trading Cards with the Mix It Up 6 stamp set, Leaves #2 and Big Ovals stencil. As a background I used a gelli printed paper that I have used on a previous project (here).

The background paper, like mentioned above, is from my previous project and done using acrylic paints, a gelli plate and Cross It, as well as Marks 2 stencils. I used that paper as my starting point and added even more layers on top of it to create an interesting, artsy background for my ATC´s.

I started with the Leaves #2 stencil and cracked pistachio Distress Oxide ink by applying the ink thru the stencil randomly onto the background with a blending brush.

After that I took the Mix It Up 6 stamp set and the Big Ovals stencil and placed it on top of the paper. With ground expresso Distress Oxide I first added some stamped text thru the big ovals stencil onto the background. Then I outlined some of the stamped areas with a black pen thru the same stencil to make them stand out more from the background.

Next I stamped some wilted violet Distress Oxide toned splatters with the heart shaped stamp from the same stamp set and also some black numbers onto the background. After that I took the stamp image of the couple and stamped them with black stamp ink onto white paper and fussy cut them. In addition I added some ground expresso stamped words (hope) onto the background for more interest.

Finally I took some of the Mix A Sentiment 2023 stamp set words that I had left over from my previous projects and added them to go with the images. I also decorated the pages with a black pen outline and some fabric, vintage flowers and white gel pen hearts as well as some glitter enamel dots.

I hope I could inspire you to play with the Mix It Up 6 stamp set and the featured stencils! Have a great time creating!!
