AJ page with layered stenciling and Distress Oxide Inks – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello, it´s Sanna here today with a layer stenciled art journal page share. For this project I used the following products: Organic 4 and Mini Textures 1 stencils as well as the Sketchy Leaves 5 stencil in the focal point cluster. The stamps used as a further layer and focal point feature following sets: Mix It Up 7, Mix It Up 4, Collage Leaves 3 and Mix It Up 6.

I started with the following steps:

I first inked a lighter toned layer thru the above mentioned stencil onto the page, then slightly moved the stencil to create a 3D-effect and inked over the area with a similar tone, but slithly darker. That creates this really fun effect.

Next I took a black stamp ink and stamped some details with the Mix It Up 4 stamp set.

Followed with further stamping with the Mix It Up 6 and Mix It Up 7 stamp sets.

I also added some asemic writing to the background before creating a cluster of elements as a focal point. The blue collage fodder element is a previous make with Sketchy Leaves 5 and Brushos (see details here). The leafy flower is stamped on a music note paper with black ink (using Collage Leaves 3) and then fussy cut. Finally the sentiment was stamped on an old book page with the Collage Leaves 3 stamp set anf fussy cut to fit the page composition.

I also added some “turquoise” and “medieval” Gloss Spray droplets as detail and also added some stamped eyes in the process. They are from the Mix It Up 7 stamp set.

I love layering stencils and adding fun details to art journal pages with them. Then mixing some stamping with various stamp sets for contrast make creating art journal pages so much fun! I hope I could inspire you all abit with this page.

Have fun creating with Rubber Dance products!

Fly free – Art Journal page with Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello, I am here today with a page from my art journal. For this page I used the Organic 4, Sketchy Leaves 6 and Wheels stencils and plenty of stamps: Carved Collection 6, Mix It Up 6, Butterflies and Moths, Doodle Flowers 2 and from A to Z.

I started by placing the leaves and using them as masks with salvaged patina Distress Oxide Ink. I placed them onto the page and brushed the ink over them to the page repeatedly. After that I continued the background pattern with the Wheels stencil and the same ink tone, blending them into each other. Next I took the Organic 4 stencil and continued adding the same ink thru the stencil onto the page.

After finishing the inking, I took the iced spruce Distress Oxide Ink and stamped with Mix It Up 6 stamp set hand writing stamp over the white leaf areas very freely. Then I outlined the leaves with a black pen. This made them pop out of the background and I love the look it creates to the page. After that I used the number stamp from the same stamp set with aged mahogany Distress Oxide Ink to randomly stamp numbers next to the leaf patterns.

After that I took the peacock feathers Distress Oxide Ink tone and stamped a leaf pattern with the Carved Collection 6 stamp onto the page from top towards the bottom. I added golden pigment details with Gansai Tambi watercolors to them. Then I took some previously made leaf and collage fodder (see videos here and here) and added those on top of the stamped leaves overlappingly.

I also decorated the page with some yellow toned butterflies. These were also previously made collage fodder (with Butterflies and Moths stamp set) from my gelli printing sessions. For the text I used black ink and the word free from the Mix It Up 6 stamp set. The word fly is stamped with the A to Z set.

For finishing touches I also added some light written text stamping in the salvaged patina tone next to the pink flowers. It´s just a hue, but it adds some detail to the otherwise blank area. I also added some golden droplets and Gloss Spray in the tone blushing here and there.

For more details, here is the start-to-finish video for you to watch:

I really enjoy playing with stencils, creating collage fodder and then combining all these bits and pieces together in a project.

Happy crafting,

Full Deck Challenge 35/2025 – letters of the alphabet

Leave a comment

Hello and happy Wednesday! Here is my take on the ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge number 35: letters of the alphabet.

As my carry over item from the previous deck card, I used the dark green paper strip and the one with the stenciled stars on it (on the previous card I used the backside, here it´s the front).

The other paper piece is from my gelli printing projects, where I wipe residue inks etc. onto a separate paper. I usually save these papers for later use and somehow they always find a way into artworks.

My constant is a date stamp and it´s added to the background in a repeated manner. I then used tiny sticker alphas as my “letters of the alphabet”. I scattered them onto the background very randomly to create a pattern with them. Next I took a fuchsia Posca pen and added splatters with the marker tothe surface.

I finished the card off with a Rubber Dance stamp image from the set “Mix It Up 6” and added stamped words from the “Mix A Sentiment 2023” set.

Here is again the process video – have fun watching!

See you again next week with another deck card take!

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!

Artist Trading card set with Textured Mushrooms 2 – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello, it´s my turn over at the Rubber Dance blog again today and I am sharing a fall themed Artist Trading Card set, created with Textured Mushrooms 2, Mix It Up 6 and Mix a Sentiment 2023 stamp sets as well as the Lattice stencil. As my starting point I again used the Gloss Spray mushrooms from my post back on the 20th of October. I made plenty of them at once and now have fun material to play with.

For this set I started with a red patterned paper piece that I fussy cut into right size. Next I took Dina Wakley paints in tones Mineral and Sage and applied those thru the Lattice stencil onto the papers very randomly. After the paint was dry, I added stamping with the Mit It Up 6 stamp set stamps and brown stamp ink.

For additional interest I added some Gloss Spray splatters in Cheddar and Fuchsia and let the layer dry before attaching some screen prints to the cards with a stapler. Now all I needed to do, was to arrange the Gloss Spray mushrooms onto the cards and adhere them on place. For finishing touches I added some Mix a Sentiment 2023 words to the ATC´s as well as added details to the mushrooms with Posca pens. Finally, to add more depth to the cards, I inked the edges with a brown Distress Oxide ink.

And here is the video start-to-finish for further details and steps – hope you like it and get inspired!

Happy creating!

ATC´s with Mix it Up 6 stamp set, stencils and Distress Oxide inks – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello everyone, I have an Artist Trading Card set up over at the Rubber Dance blog this time. I created these Artist Trading Cards with the Mix It Up 6 stamp set, Leaves #2 and Big Ovals stencil. As a background I used a gelli printed paper that I have used on a previous project (here).

The background paper, like mentioned above, is from my previous project and done using acrylic paints, a gelli plate and Cross It, as well as Marks 2 stencils. I used that paper as my starting point and added even more layers on top of it to create an interesting, artsy background for my ATC´s.

I started with the Leaves #2 stencil and cracked pistachio Distress Oxide ink by applying the ink thru the stencil randomly onto the background with a blending brush.

After that I took the Mix It Up 6 stamp set and the Big Ovals stencil and placed it on top of the paper. With ground expresso Distress Oxide I first added some stamped text thru the big ovals stencil onto the background. Then I outlined some of the stamped areas with a black pen thru the same stencil to make them stand out more from the background.

Next I stamped some wilted violet Distress Oxide toned splatters with the heart shaped stamp from the same stamp set and also some black numbers onto the background. After that I took the stamp image of the couple and stamped them with black stamp ink onto white paper and fussy cut them. In addition I added some ground expresso stamped words (hope) onto the background for more interest.

Finally I took some of the Mix A Sentiment 2023 stamp set words that I had left over from my previous projects and added them to go with the images. I also decorated the pages with a black pen outline and some fabric, vintage flowers and white gel pen hearts as well as some glitter enamel dots.

I hope I could inspire you to play with the Mix It Up 6 stamp set and the featured stencils! Have a great time creating!!
