“Be You” Art Journal page and process video

Leave a comment

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!

“Hello Fall” Art journal page – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello! It´s my turn to share another project created with Rubber Dance goodies over at their blog today. I am up with a fall themed art journal page process video step-by-step. I used one of my favorite stencils, the Leaves 2, for the background. More details were added with Autumn Leaves, Mix It Up 7, A to Z and Loose Florals 2024 stamp sets.

I started with the Leaves 2 stencil and Distress Inks in peeled paint, mustard seed, ripe persimmon and forest moss. I placed the stencil onto the page and started by adding the yellow ink tone. Then I took the other ink pads and brushed just tiny areas with them. I then flipped the stencil over and continued with the pattern (my page is bigger than the stencil) in the same way. After that I added some yellow to the background with a blending brush. Next I added stamped elements with the Mix It Up 7 stamp set.

Since it is a fall themed art journal page, I added some gold pigment with a water brush pen, too. Then I chose one of my gelli printed collage papers and wripped it into size. It is made using the Loose Florals 2024 stamp set on a gel plate (see the video here). After adhering the collage paper on place I took out some watercolor style stamped (see video here) Autumn Leaves and arranged them on top.

I also tuck a DIY vintage ticket (see video here) under the collage paper to create a cluster. On top of it all I added a Tim Holtz paper doll with dragonfly wings. I stamped the title with A to Z stamp set onto a paint residue paper and fussy cut the letters with scissors.

And here is the art journal page process video. Have fun watching!

I just love how the background turned out. I might just use that same idea on some cards!!
Happy creating,

Shimmer Powder Background with Loose Florals 2024 card set – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello everyone, I am up over at Rubber Dance blog today with a set of cards created using the Loose Florals 2024 stamp set with embossing powder and Shimmer Powders. I created a fun background with those for the collage fodder cluster decorated cards.

I love creating my own “patterned paper” backgrounds for cards and other projects. This is one way of doing that: getting a stamp set out, some white embossing powder and two tones of Shimmer Powder. Letting the color spread on it´s own on paper creates interesting color concentrations and shades and makes every background unique.

After creating the background, I cut it into a right size and adhered it onto a white card base. For decoration I didn´t want to add too much, so I went with a flower cluster from DIY collage fodder pieces I made recently. You can watch the videos on those here, here and here. And here is the video on how I created the card background and finished the cards. Hope you like it!

I hope you´ll give this technique a try!! Happy crafting,
