Art journal page with Distress Inks and Rubber Dance stamps & stencils

Hello everyone, here is a little share from when I was randomly playing in my art journal with recently made collage fodder pieces and Rubber Dance stamps and stencils.

I started with Distress Ink tones “ripe persimmon”, “picked raspberry”, “mustard seed” and “vintage photo”. I first applied the pink, yellow and orange tones with a misted gelli plate onto the background and created the random color areas. Next I pressed some “vintage photo” onto “Dotted 1” and “Marks 3” stencils, misted them and pressed the inked areas directly onto the paper. This created a hint of a pattern.

Next I used the “Pencil Marks 8” stamp set to create the oval shapes onto the page using black stamp ink. After that I grabbed some premade collage fodder pieces (leaves and butterflies) and adhered them to the page. After that I added some turquoise ink splatters (Dina Wakley Gloss Spray). For finishing touches I created a sentiment with stamped words (Mix a Sentiment 2023) and some stickers from my stash.

Here is the start-to-finish video:

I had a fun time playing in my art journal. Hope you enjoyed watching the process!

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!

Stenciled Art Journal Page – Rubber Dance

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:

From residue gelli prints to card focal points – Rubber Dance

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

Residue gelli printing paper as card focal point – Rubber Dance

Hello, it´s my turn for a project share over at Rubber Dance blog today. I am up with a fun card project, created using residue gelli printing paper that I turned into card focal points. For this project I used the Dotted 1 and Organic 4 stencils and Mix It Up 4 as well as Butterflies and Moths stamp sets.

When gelli printing, I always take a sheet or two of paper to brayer the residue paint and/or lift paint from the gel plate on to. So sometimes these paper sheets are full of paint layers and I figured, I could upcycle them and make something fun of them.

I first took some die cut dies out and die cut the paper sheets into smaller pieces (circles, banners etc.). Next I took out the Dotted 1 and Organic 4 stencils and added some white and golden heat embossing powder areas to the die cut papers. Next I mixed white modeling paste with magenta acrylic paint together and applied the paste thru the Dotted 1 stencil onto the die cut pieces.

After that I took the Mix It Up 4 stamp set and added stamped details with black and light grey stamping ink to the pieces. After that ink and tinted modeling paste was dry, I added some Gloss Spray details in yellow, turquoise and fuchsia on top.

Now all I needed to do, was to stamp some details to the white card bases with Distress Oxide Inks and the Mix It Up 4 stamp set. I chose lighter colors as a contrast to the bold focal point pieces here. I then adhered the die cut focal point pieces with 3D foam tape onto the card bases, added some Butterflies and Moths fodder to go with them and chose a sticker sentiment to each card. For finishing touches I added a few Gloss Spray droplets alongside the card sentiments for additional interest.

Here is a video on the creating process for you to watch. I hope you get inspired by it!

Happy crafting,
