Layered art journal page – Rubber Dance

Hello, today I have an art journal page share for you. For this page I used the Doodle Flowers 2, Butterflies and Moths, Mix It Up 5, Mix It Up 7, Carved Collection 6, Stitching Borders and Mix It Up 4 stamp sets as well as Dotted 1 and Mini Textures 1 stencils.

I started by wiping residue ink from the Dotted 1 stencil onto the background and pressing another layer of residue brown ink from the Mini Textures 1 stencil around the first pattern. Next I grabbed some Neocolor II crayons and applied various yellow and light pink tones to the page. After that I grabbed a selection of pink, green, brown and turquoise Distress Oxide Inks and used the various stamps to add details and layers to the background.

I also painted some circles onto the page and filled those with golden pigment dots. Next I added contrast with a black stamp ink by adding stamped stars and numbers as well as stitching. I then clustered a few collage fodder pieces together (leaves and butterfly) and adhered those on place. I also had a few “diy vintage labels” left over, so I adhered a few onto the page. For finishing touches I added two sentiment stickers and created black areas with an acrylic marker and detailed those with a white gel pen.

This was a really fun one to make! Have you tried this idea of freely adding plenty of layers and seeing where the page takes you?

CARDS, RUBBER DANCE ART STAMPS

Clean and simple collage paper Christmas cards – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello, I am up over at the Rubber Dance blog again today with another clean and simple card Christmas card share. For these cards I used some gelli printed collage papers, the Xmas Trees 2 stencil and the Kartengrüße stamp set. For the collage paper I had used the Textured Xmas Trees 2 and the Mix It Up 4 stamp set.

I basically combined the ideas from my previously shared Christmas cards here. I die cut the collage paper with the Textured Xmas Trees 2 pattern on it with circle die cut dies. And the Mix It Up 4 set circle stamp patterned paper is traced thru the Xmas Trees 2 stencil and then fussy cut. I then adhered both pieces to a white card base, added a sentiment stamp with the Kartengrüße stamp set and some golden pigment droplets here and there.

For the second card I basically did the same, except the stamped sentiment is on the card base, not on the collage paper. Also the golden pigment droplets are on the collage paper and the stamped stars are colored with the same golden color. For stamping those I used the Textured Xmas Trees 2 stamp set.

Here is one more bonus card, for which I just added some stenciling with the Ornament 1 stencil as a background and arranged some collage paper trees on top. I had some left over and didn´t want them to go to waste.

Have fun creating some of your own!!

Summer Dreams Art Journal page – Rubber Dance

Hello everyone! I am up over at the Rubber Dance blog today with this art journal page share. I used the Stacked Ovals stencil, the Carved Collection 6, the A to Z and the Mix It up 4 stamp sets for this journal page. I also incorporated collage fodder bits made with Doodle Flowers 2 stamp set and Sketchy Leaves 5 stencil.

Here is how I created the page:

I started with Stacked Ovals ad Distress Oxide Ink in picked raspberry. I inked the stencil with the ink pad and then misted it with water. After that I pressed the stencil onto the journal page. I repeated this step until the page was fully covered.

Then I took Distress Oxide Ink in antique linen and salvaged patina, placed the stencil on top of the previously created image and inked the empty areas with both inks. This created a very interesting background to start with.

After that I grabbed the Mix It Up 4 stamp set and the scallop border stamp and stamped the border along the center of the page. Next I used a black pen to outline the scallops and add a little contrast.

Then I stamped some stars with black ink onto the page, added a collage paper piece and various colors of yarn on top. Next I decorated the paper strip with collage fodder I had made using the Sketchy Leaves 5 stencil and Doodle Flowers 2 stamp set (see video here and here).

After that I took a piece of white cardstock and stamped letters with A to Z stamp set onto it. I then fussy cut the letters and adhered those to the journal as my title. I also sneaked a flower onto the paper (see the video how to make those here). I felt like the page needed some more structure, so I stamped the black line with a flower stemp stamp from the Carved Collection 6 stamp set and added a scallop border underneath (from the Mix It Up 4 set).

I am totally in love with the Stecked Ovals stencil – the backgroud was so much fun to make! I hope you give this idea a try.

Happy creating,
xx, Sanna
