Clean and simple card set with Textured Mushrooms 2 and Gloss Sprays

Hello! It´s project share day over at Rubber Dance blog today for me and I am up with a mushroom themed card set in clean and simple style and slimline format. I used my favorite fall stamp set (Textured Mushrooms 2) on these cards with Gloss Sprays and a typewriter written sentiment.

Here is how I created the cards:

First I took a piece of glossy cardstock and applied several tones of Gloss Spray onto the surface by wiping the color here and there and then adding some droplets on top.

Next I took the Textured Mushrooms 2 stamp set and stamped mushrooms onto the colored paper with black stamp ink. The ink needs to dry a while, because of the glossy surface, but once it is dry, you can continue with the next step.

After that I fussy cut the colorful mushrooms. For these cards I only needed two of them, so I have plenty still to use on future projects.

Then I stamped smaller mushrooms onto a plain slimline card base with black ink and added a colored, fussy cut mushroom as a centerpiece into th middle of the card (adhered with 3D foam tape). Now I just needed to decorate.

I then wrote a sentiment with my old typewriter onto a piece of leftover gelli printed paper, adhered that onto the card and added some Gloss Spray splatters around the mushrooms and the card was done. I did the same steps with both cards.

I hope you get inspired by this easy-to-do idea and make some fun fall-themed cards yourself! If you don´t own Gloss Sprays, try using other spray paints, spray inks or watercolors. They work just as well for this idea. Just replace the glossy paper with a different one. Have fun!

Clean and simple stenciled cards with Distress Inks – Rubber Dance

Hello everyone, it´s again my turn ot share a project over at the Rubber Dance blog and I am up with a set of clean and simple cards and a photo tutorial today.
For these cards I used the Sketchy Leaves stamp set – which I absolutely adore – and the gorgeous Organic 3 stencil with Distress Oxide Inks.

Here is how I created these cards:

First I took a white card base, then placed the Organic 3 stencil on top and applied Distress Oxide Ink with a blending brush thru the stencil onto the card base. I used cracked pistachio, speckled egg and peacock feathers tones for my cards.

After finishing the stenciled background, I took the Sketchy Leaves stamp set out and stamped leaf images on top of the stenciling. I combined two of the leaf images to create a leaf branch like piece.

Next I stamped sentiments from the Sketchy Flowers 3 stamp set onto the card base with the same black stamp ink.

After stamping the sentiments, I wanted to add a tiny bit of additional detail, so I painted some of the areas on the leaves with golden pigments.

That´s all there is to these cards. Did you notice that all the layers are built directly onto the card base? That way these cards are not very heavy and easy to sent off in an envelope.

I hope I could inspire you to create some clean and simple cards with Rubber Dance products !
Happy crafting,
