“Note to self” Art Journal Page process – Rubber Dance

Hello, it´s my turn to share a project over at Rubber Dance blog today. I am up with an art journal page share. For this page I used the Ornament 1 and Mini Textures 1 stencils. For stamping I used Doodle Flowers 2, Collage Leaves 3 and A to Z stamp sets. I wanted to create an inspirational page and this is what I came up with:

My starting point was the inked Ornament 1 stencil which I sprayed with water mist and then pressed onto the journal page. Next I blended two tones of pink Distress Oxide Ink around the edges and white areas. After that I took the darker pink tone and stamped some leaf patterns onto the inked area, followed with light grey stamping.

I had a green toned collage paper ready and stamped with Collage Leaves 3 stamp set and black ink some leaves onto it. After that I fussy cut them and was ready to adhere them to my journal page. On top of the leaves I added a few Doodle Flowers 2 collage fodder images that I had previously made.

Then I decorated with leaves with golden pigment details. Next I stamped some inspirational words into the middle with the Collage Leaves 3 stamp set. For finishing touches I added a hand stamped title using the rest of my collage paper and the A to Z stamp set.

I also recorded a process video for you to watch – hope you enjoy!

Have fun creating!!

Full Deck Challenge 46/2025 – fairy

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!

Masked card background with Rubber Dance products and Distress Oxide Inks

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!
