Full Deck Challenge 45/2025 – lace

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:

Full Deck Challenge 44/2025 – window

Hi there! This is my take on the ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge number 44: window.

I used an exacto knife to cut a window onto the deck card. I then placed a vintage photo behind the window. After that I added some of the collage papers that I also used on my previous deck card (carry-over-item) and added some additional ones. All gifted to me by Yuna from Australia.

After adhering the collage papers on place, I added my constant, a date stamp here and there. After that some white modeling paste thru a Rubber Dance stencil. After that some Dina Wakley Gloss Spray as detail.

For finishing touches I added Tim Holtz word stickers and two red buttons for the window.

Here is the start-to-finish-video:

Full Deck Challenge 43/2025 – circles

Hello, this is my take on the ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge 2025, number 43: circles.

I again used Yuna´s collage papers and my carry over item – bits of old book paper – on the background. On top I mixed white modeling paste with Dina Wakley heavy body paint in turquoise and stenciled it thru a Rubber Dance circle stencil onto the deck card.

In between the stenciled pattern, I stamped my constant, the date stamp images. For decor I added a premade collage flower (stamp by Rubber Dance) and some word stickers (Tim Holtz).

A set of mixed media cards with a process video

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!

“Be You” Art Journal page and process video

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!

Cards with fodder clusters and oval backgrounds – Rubber Dance

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 22/2025 – cut up

Hello everyone! This is my take on the ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge number 22: “cut up”. That meaning cutting up the actual deck card some way.

I started by adding collage papers (by Yuna) to the background, then incorporating some carry over items (puzzle pieces) from my last deck card. After that I used my constant; a date stamp. I also added a label sticker to the background.

Next I wripped the card in two and adhered and stampled the pieces onto a residue paint paper. For decoration/finishing touches I added white and purple Gloss Sprays, some of my “DIY vintage tickets” and a stamped sentiment. Here is the process video:

I hope you enjoyed this one – see you next week with FCD take number 23. Happy crafting,

Full Deck Challenge 21/2025 – puzzle

Hello everyone, here is my take on the 21st Full Deck Challenge by ShanooukiArt. The theme was “puzzle”.

I used 3 different pink toned papers and a Elizabeth Craft Designs die cut die with puzzle elements to die cut puzzle parts. I then arranged them onto a piece of old book page (peeking thru on the background). After that I used my constant, the date stamp. I messed the month, so I had to do a quick fix by adding more puzzle pieces on top and stamping again.

I then added some Rubber Dance stamped fodder as a focal point, accompnied with a stamped sentiment. Which I also messed up. I then fixed it by cutting a part off and replacing it with a stamped letter. For additional detail I´ve added some Gloss Spray droplets. And here is the video:

Spring Art Journal page with tinted modeling paste and stencils – Rubber Dance

Hello, it´s my turn to share a. project over at Rubber Dance blog again. Today I am sharing a page from my art journal that started from a mark making play and ended up being a bright spring themed page. I used the Dotted 1, Organic 4 and Marks 3 stencils and the Mix It Up 5 stamp set to create the page. I also added previously made collage fodder bits done with Doodle Flowers 2 and Butterflies and Moths stamp sets.

This is how my creating process went. I always have a journal close to me, when creating on other projects. That way I can wipe and add random layers to my journal with residue paints, inks and pastes. In the first photo you can see I added some residue pink paint, then some black mark making to the journal page. Next I mixed some modeling paste with neon pink and yellow paint and sky blue paint together and applied those onto the background thru the previously mentioned stencils. I love to tint my white modeling paste with acrylic paints to create different colors.

While the paste was drying, I took a pink tag and stamped some Distress Oxide Ink (kitsch flamingo) with one of the Mix It Up 5 stamp set stamps. Then I grabbed a small piece of residue gelli printed paper, stamped with the same set and black ink some images onto the piece and adhered it onto the tag. After that I arranged a cluster of leaves and flowers to the tag and cut off any residue along the edges.

After that I adhered the tag onto the journal page, created a sentiment with sticker and paper alphas and added some Gloss Spray splatters for finishing touches (Medieval).

Have you tried creating your own tinted modeling pastes? It´s a fun way to add some interest to any project (journal, wall art, card background). It also adds a nice texture and depth to a project. Wishing you a fun time playing with stencils and modeling paste!! If you missed how the fodder was done, you can watch the videos and the photo tutorial here, here and here.

Happy creating!

Full Deck Challenge 15/2025 – stack it up!

Hello and happy Wednesday! Here is another share from my take on the ShanoukiArt “Full Deck Challenge 2025”. This weeks theme is: “Stack it up!”.

I used layers over layers (as much as I could). Starting with gelli printed leftover paper bits, then adding some texture paste treated paper bits on top. Then some washi tapes. After that some fabric tape bits. Next some pink Posca pen marks and turqouoise Gloss Spray splatter. After that a collage fodder leaf (Rubber Dance) and some hand drawn ephemera (hearts and crosses). In between some yarn and on top some stamped words. I love how this one turned out. The happy colors on top of each other. Pure joy!

The hand drawn bits are from last years 100 day challenge. I am so glad I can incorporate those bits on this challenge. And now to the video:

Hope you liked it and got inspired! See you next week with another one.

Happy crafting,
