ART JOURNALING, RUBBER DANCE ART STAMPS

AJ page with Distress Inks and glitter pens – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello everyone! It´s again time for another Rubber Dance project share. I am up with a life quote themed art journal page share today. For this page I used the Wheels stencil, Loose Florals 2024, Mix It Up 6 and Mixed Sentiments 1 stamp sets.

I started by pressing misted Distress Ink (picked raspberry) with an acrylic block directly onto the background. Next I took the Wheels stencil and applied candied apple Distress Ink thru the stencil onto the background. I then grabbed the Mix It Up 6 stamp set script stamp and added stamping to the background with a light gray stamp ink.

After that I stamped the flowers with the Loose Florals 2024 stamp set onto white paper and colored them with alcohol markers and glitter pens. Then I stamped the leaves, using the same stamp set, onto blue paper and added some glitter pen details onto them. I also added some Gloss Spray splatters in turquoise onto the background for interest. I then adhered the leaves, the black and white stamped couple and the flowers onto the page.

After that I wanted to add a quote to the page and found a suitable one. I partly stamped the words – using the stamps from the Mix It Up 6 set – and wrote the rest by hand. I finished the quote with a stamped sentiment from Mixed Sentiments 1 set at the very bottom. I still felt like the page needed some more details, so I stamped the black splodges using the Grungy Butterflies stamp set and also added some stamped grey numbers here and there. This stamp is part of the Mix It Up 6 stamp set.

Do you use quotes in your art journals? I love adding them to my pages. I hope I could inspire you to play in your journal today! Have fun!

Vintage-style Art Journal page – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello and Happy New Year! It´s Sanna here with a “vintage”-style art journal page share today. For this page I used the Mix It Up 5 stamp set and the Sketchy Leaves 5 stencil with plenty of different Distress Oxide Ink tones.

For the background I used the tones “wilted violet”, “fossilized amber”, “iced spruce” and “aged mahagony”. I applied the color onto a acrylic block, then misted it with water mist and pressed the block onto the paper. After that I took the Mix It Up 5 stamp set and added inked and misted stamp images in a row to the background.

Next I took the Marks 3 stencil and wiped some “aged mahagony” thru it onto the background. For the circle stamp image from the Mix It Up 5 stamp set I used “iced spruce”. Then I took a gelli printed Sketchy Leaves 5 leaf image and adhered it onto the page. For the journaling I built my own sentiment with the Mix A Sentiment 2023 stamp set. And for finishing touches I added a Tim Holtz paper doll for decor.

Here is a full step-by-step video from start to finish:

I hope you enjoy watching the video and get inspired to play with your Rubber Dance stamps and stencils in your own art journal! Have fun!!

Art Journal page with stencils, Distress Oxide Inks and Textured Mushrooms 2

Leave a comment

Hello everyone, it´s my turn to share another inspiration project over at Rubber Dance blog today again. This time I have a fun art journal page share with tutorial prepared for inspiration. I used Big Ovals, Textured Mushrooms 2 and Round in Circles on this page and I have a video tutorial up for steps and details.

For this art journal page I used the Gloss Spray painted mushrooms I had created for my previous post and hand plenty left over from. But first I started by creating a fun background with the Big Ovals stencil and Distress Oxide inks in orange and yellow tones. On top of that I have added Gloss Spray splatters in aloe, fuchsia and sand.

Next I´ve arranged the mushrooms in two circles into the middle of the page and added a Distress Oxide ink stamped circle image (from the Round In Circles set) into the very center of the page. Then I stamped some additional circles with brown stamp ink here and there to the background and finished the page off with some medieval Gloss Spray splatters and a fall themed quote.

Here is a video tutorial to give you a better idea of every step of the process – hope you like it!

I really like this stamp set so much – it was so much fun to create something in bright and happy fall colours into my art journal. I hope you get inspired to create too!

DAP-journal / December 29th, 2022

Leave a comment

Hello and happy Tuesday! Here is yet another DAP-journal share:

For this one I used Neocolor 2´s, Stabilo Woody´s and Stabilo all black pencil with the original almanac page cut into smaller bits and added to the rest. Lots of earth tones here. I didn´t want to add any words or journaling this time, so I just kept the page very simple.

Happy crafting, 
xxx, Sanna
