ART JOURNALING, RUBBER DANCE ART STAMPS

Art journal page with white space and fodder – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello everyone! I am again up overe at the Rubber Dance blog today with an art journal page share. For this page I used the Sketchy Leaves stamp set as well as the Organic 3, Cross It and Marks 3 stencils with Distress Oxide Inks.

I started by inking the stencils with various blue and green tones of Distress Oxide Inks and then misted them lightly with water mist. After that I just pressed small areas onto the page to create a very light and almost fading image of stencil patterns.

Next I took some premade (see my previous project for details) Sketchy Leaves fodder and arranged them onto the page in clusters.

Then I added a Tim Holtz paper doll and fussy cut wings for it from my Grungy Butterflies fodder bits. For finishing touches I created a sentiment with Mix a Sentiment 2023 words and the page was done. I really enjoy using white space on this journal page with the clusters of fodder to draw the eye towards to.

I hope you got inspired by this art journal page. Now grab your stamps and stencils and create something fun in your journal!
Happy crafting,

CARDS, RUBBER DANCE ART STAMPS

Butterfly cards with mixed media backgrounds – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello everyone, it´s my turn today to share another fun project over at Rubber Dance blog. I made these cards with the Grungy Butterflies and some gelli printed paper with Marks 2 stencil and Weed Love stamping on top.

For both cards I used some of my previously made gelli printed background papers as a starting point. After cutting them into a right size I added stamping with Weed Love stamps and brown Distress Oxide Ink on top to create an even more layered and interesting background.

After that I used the clustered circle stamp from the Round in Circles stamp set to create an additional pattern to the card.

After that I selected some words from the Mix a Sentiment 2023 stamp set that I had used on a previous project and arranged the words into sentiments. I adhered the butterflies into the middle and the sentiment next to them. For finishing touches I added some glitter glue to the butterfly wings.

I still have plenty of words left, so I might use them it future projects. I really like this sentiment set, because you can build your own sentiments from the various words available in the set. And stamp them out once, fussy cut and they will go a really long way. I hope you got inspired to play with your stamps and stencils and create fun cards!!

Happy crafting,

Fodder cards with a gelli print background and Sketchy Leaves

Leave a comment

Hi, it´s again my turn to share a project over at the Rubber Dance blog with two Sketchy Leaves fodder cards. The backround on these cards is created with a gelli plate, acrylic paints and “Marks 2” as well as “Cross it” stencils in pastel tones. I created a few different gelli printed papers at once and used the one with some white space on it as a background for these cards. In my opinion, this adds lots of interest to the card, when the background is irregular in pattern.

I also created plenty of fodder with the Sketchy Leaves stamp and Distess Oxide inks at once and used some of them on these cards as a focal point. There are videos on the gelli printing, the fodder making and the step-by-step of the card creating process at the end of this post.

On the gelli printing video I am also using the “Organic #3″ stencil and I make several prints at once, because I will be using these prints on my future projects, too. Some prints are not perfect, but I don´t mind that. I am just going to pick the parts I like and use those later.

After creating the background papers with the stencils I then created plenty of fodder with Distress Oxide inks and the “Sketchy Leaves” stamp set. Here is a video on how I did that:

Finally, after the previous two steps, I put the cards together. Here is a sept-by-step video about the process:

I hope I could inspire you today to make fun gelli prints and create some cards with them and fodder. And while you are at it, be sure to create plenty of variations of both in different colors, so you have material for many projects ready, when inspiration hits.

Happy crafting,
