Full Deck Challenge 46/2025 – fairy

Leave a comment

Hello! Here is my take on the ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge number 46: fairy.

For this one I used the butterfly stamped old book paper bits as a carry-over-item. To those I added some gelli printed collage papers in turquoise and some Dina Wakley heavy body paint in turquoise. After that I added my constant – the date stamp.

After that I added some yellow Dina Wakley Gloss Spray and stamped leaves with this Rubber Dance stamp to the background. As a focal point I added a Tim Holtz paper doll and fairy wings from a Rubber Dance stamp set. I added some Stickles for shine to them, too. The sticker words are by Tim Holtz.

Here is the step-by-step video:

See you again next week with another take!

Full Deck Challenge 45/2025 – lace

Leave a comment

Hello! This is my take on the ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge 45/2025: lace.

I used collage papers gifted to me by Yuna as my carry-over item. To those I added some old book paper bits, stamped with Rubber Dance butterfly stamps. On top of that I added some Dina Wakley heavy body paint with a palette knife. On top of that my constant, a date stamp.

Next I added Midnight Dina Wakley Gloss Spray droplets and the DIY lace. I made it with lace cream and a silicone mold. On top of it I adhered a collage butterfly (Rubber Dance). For finishing touches I added word stickers by Tim Holtz.

Here is the video step-by-step:

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!

“Be You” Art Journal page and process video

Leave a comment

Hello, I am sharing an art journal page with a process video today. For this page I used the Sketchy Leaves 5 and Leaves 2 stencils and Loose Florals 2024, Mix It Up 5, Mixed Sentiments 1 and Butterflies and Moths stamp sets.

I started by stenciling modeling paste onto the page thru the Sketchy Leaves 5 stencil. I then used Texture Gems clear paste with the Leaves 2 stencil. After the pastes were dry, I applied ocker and light green paint on top. After that I stamped with the Mix It Up 5 stamp over the stenciled areas very randomly. After that I added some Loose Florals 2024 stamped leaves and flowers to the background.

Then I took a heavy body paint in apricot and added highlights with it. Next I used my fingers and a baby wipe to apply some dark green paint for contrast. I also removed some of the paint from the stenciled areas to make them stand out more.

After applying the paint, I used golden pigments to add droplets to the darker areas. Finally, I created a cluster with stenciled and pasted fussy cut leaves and a Butterflies and Moths butterfly. For finishing touches I added some stamped words using the Mixed Sentiments 1 stamp set.

Here is the process video with all the steps:

I hope you enjoyed watching the video and got inspired! Do stop by the Rubber Dance store and purchase a product or two. These days with high taxes, every purchase goes towards keeping a small business alive!

Happy crafting,

My soul is painted – Art journal page – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello, it´s Sanna here today with a art journal process video. For this page I used the Stacked Ovals, Mini Marks 1 and Organic 2 stencils as well as Mix It Up 7, Round In Circles and Butterflies and Moths stamps.

I used plenty of Distress Oxide Inks on the background. First I inked the backround with “mustard seed”, then added “faded jeans” and “peacock feathers” thru the Stacked Ovals stencil. On top of that I applied some Marabu Metallic Liner thru the Mini Marks 1 stencil. I used the same stencil on a different area with Faber Castell Texture Gems media. When these layers were dry, I applied some “salvaged patina” with a blending tool onto the page.

Then I placed the Organic 2 stencil onto the page and applied “iced spruce” thru the stencil onto the background. After that I stamped some faces (Mix It Up 7 stamp set) with “abandoned coral” onto the background. Then using the same stamp set I added some black stamping on top. After that I added white Gloss Spray droplets all over the page.

I had some previously made gelli printed collage papers (made with Round in Circles stamp set) which I cut into circles and adhered them onto the page. Next to the circles, I adhered collage fodder made with Butterflies and Moths stamp set. I finished the page off with typewrite typed song lyrics.

I hope you liked watching the process and got inspired to create in your own journal. Happy crafting,

Full Deck Challenge 28/2025 – black

Leave a comment

Hello, here is my take on the 28th ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge. The theme was “black”.

I used a light pink paper strip (very right) as my carry over item from the previous deck card. The sticker alphas on that strip are also from the same set like the numbers in my previous card. So also carry over things :).

I then added a black and white paper with flowers and a plain black paper to the backgroun. My constant is a date stamp. On top I drew some ovals with a white gel pen using the Rubber Dance Stacked Ovals stencil as a drawing guide. On top of that I as butterfly (Rubber Dance Butterflies and Moths) stamped onto a book page. For decor I added some rhinestones and Rubber Dance Mix A Sentiment 2023 stamped words.

Here is the start-to-finish video:

Cards with fodder clusters and oval backgrounds – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello, it´s my turn to share a project over at Rubber Dance blog today. I love the Rubber Dance ovals stencil line! So I played around with them (Big Ovals and Stacked Ovals) and created fun oval background cards with a big collage fodder cluster as a focal point.

For the bright colored card I used a gelli print created earlier this year. It creates a beautiful, happy and bright backdrop for the cluster of flowers, leaves and butterflies. I also added some rhinstones and a fussy cut sentiment to the card for finishing touches.

I always create collage fodder in bulk, so that I have plenty of options to add to my cards and other projects along the way. The tutorials to these fodder pieces can be found here, here and here.

For the second card in more muted colors. I used the new Stacked Ovals stencil directly on the background with “scattered straw” Distress Ink.

I again attached the stencil to the card and my working surface with washi tape. You can also use painters tape. This way the stencil will stay put while applying ink. I like washi, because it´s very easy and safe to remove afterwords – nothing tears while removing it.

For this cluster I again used collage fodder I had previously made in bulk. Except for the old book paper circle. That I created using the Butterflies and Moths stamp set and black ink just for this card. It adds a nice vintage feel to the cluster.

I really like using stencils on my cards. They can add so much to a project. Just imagine these fodder clusters without the backgrounds.

Hope you get inspired!

Full Deck Challenge 25/2025 – 2 favourite colours

Leave a comment

Hello! Here is my take on the Full Deck Challenge number 25/2025: two favourite colours. I used yellows and greens which happen to be my fave colours.

I used patterned papers on the background (from my older stash). Then added some washi tapes in the same colours on top. I also sneaked in a tiny blue paper stripe (a carry over item from my last deck card).

After that I added some Rubber Dance stamp images with black ink and my constant, a date stamp. I chose a green butterfly as a focal point (also Rubber Dance stamps) and finished everything with yellow and green Gloss Spray droplets and a stamped sentiment.

See you again next week with another deck card take! Happy crafting,

Monochromatic card set with Distress Inks and Rainbows #2 stencil – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello everyone! It´s my turn to share an inspirational project over at Rubber Dance blog today. I am up with a monochromatic card set. I wanted to create a card background using the Rainbows #2 stencil and that is how this idea started. In addition I used the Mixed Sentiments #1 and added collage fodder elements I had previously created with Sketchy Leaves 5 stencil and Butterflies and Moths, as well as Doodle Flowers 2 stamp sets.

I started by taking a mixed media paper and cutting it into smaller sizes. Then I placed the Rainbows #2 stencil on top of the paper and applied Crystal Gel with a palette knife thru the stencil onto the surface. I did two surfaces and let them dry properly – make sure they are really dry – before moving to the next step.

Next I took a blue and green Distress Ink (twisted citron & peacock feathers) and applied those onto the stenciled surface. After that I took a baby wipe and wiped any residue ink off from the crystal gel-treated areas. After that I took double sided adhesive tape and adhered the inked and stenciled paper onto a white card base. I then decorated the card with collage fodder leaves and butterflies and stamped and fussy cut a sentiment from Mixed Sentiments #1 stamp set. For finishing touches I added some green adhesive half pearls to the butterfly.

I did the exact same steps on the pink and orange toned card, but I used spiced marmalade and picked raspberry Distress Inks on the background. The collage fodder is done using the Butterflies and Moths stamp set and the Sketchy Leaves 5 stencil. You can find tutorials to the collage fodder bits here, here and here.

And here is the full start-to-finish video for more details. Hope you like it!

I hope I could inspire you to try out Rubber Dance stencils with clear texture paste and inks. It´s a lot of fun!

Happy crafting,

Full Deck Challenge 16/2025 – sewing

Leave a comment

Hello everyone and happy Friday! I´m a bit late with sharing these, but the weather has been so nice lately and gardening has taken some of my time.

However, here is the ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge Nr. 16. The theme was “sewing”. Which I did with my sewing machine. You must know I am not “friends with” my sewing machine, so this is always an accomplishment, when I manage to sew.

For this deck card I again used collage papers gifted to me by Yuna on the background. I also added a small piece of a music paper that had some misting on it. Then on top some sewing and random date stamping (my constant). On top of that a paper doll by Tim Holtz with wings. The wings are done with a Rubber Dance stamp (Butterflies and Moths) on a gelli paper. The rhinestone heart got some Copic marker on it (to change the color).

And here is the star-to-finish video:

Next one will be “blending”. I still need to figure out what I am going to do for that ;-). See you next week!
