Full Deck Challenge 46/2025 – fairy

Hello! Here is my take on the ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge number 46: fairy.

For this one I used the butterfly stamped old book paper bits as a carry-over-item. To those I added some gelli printed collage papers in turquoise and some Dina Wakley heavy body paint in turquoise. After that I added my constant – the date stamp.

After that I added some yellow Dina Wakley Gloss Spray and stamped leaves with this Rubber Dance stamp to the background. As a focal point I added a Tim Holtz paper doll and fairy wings from a Rubber Dance stamp set. I added some Stickles for shine to them, too. The sticker words are by Tim Holtz.

Here is the step-by-step video:

See you again next week with another take!

Xmas cards with collage paper

How about putting some of the collage paper piles we all have into good use and create some Christmas cards with them? Here are some I did:

I have a glitter paste stenciled background paper on these cards (made with Tonic Studios paste and Stars 1 Rubber Dance stencil). On top I´ve added some on collage paper stamped (Textured Xmas Trees 2) trees. Finished with Kartengrüße stamp set sentiments. The green tree was stamped on plain paper and then colored with Edding glitter brush pens.

For the second set I´ve used the Marks 3 and Marks 2 stencil with a Gelli Arts gel plate for the backgrounds. On top I´ve used the Xmas Trees 1 stencil with Tonic Studios glitter paste and the sentiment is again done with Kartengrüße stamp set. I really like these bright colors! Who says Xmas cards can´t be bold in color?!

And for the final set I´ve used the Organic 3 and Cross It stencil with a gel plate on the background. The trees (Textured Xmas Trees 2) got stamped onto another gelli printed collage paper and fussy cut. I´ve added some glitter pen details to the slimline card´s trees and the smaller card has some Tonic Studio Nuvo Drops as decor. Sentiments on both were stamped with the Kartengrüße stamp set.

Have fun creating some Xmas cards with collage papers, stamps and stencils!!!

Grungy Butterfly ATC´s with stencils, stamps and Distress Inks – Rubber Dance

Hello, I am again up over at the Rubber Dance blog with an Artist Trading Card tutorial share. I created these ATC´s with various sets of Rubber Dance stamps and stencils.

For these Artist Trading Cards I used a music note paper (if you don´t have one, you can stamp your own using the Rubber Dance “Music” stamp) on the background. On that I applied Distress Paint thru the Organic #3 stencil and then added a slightly darker tone of watercolor on top. After that I took a brown and mahogany tone of Distress Oxide ink and applied those onto the background for additional detail thru the “Marks 2” stencil. I sewed the paper onto a sturdy background with my sewing machine and then stamped some images with black ink and the “Sketchy Leaves” on the papers.

After that I added some golden watercolor pigment details to the stamped leaves and some red watercolor splatters onto the background for additional detail. On top of that I used some of my previously made “Grungy Butterflies” fodder pieces and a piece of misted canvas and sentiment stickers to finish the ATC´s.

Here is the start-to-finish video on how I created the ATC´s:

and just in case, here is how I made the butterfly fodder:

I hope I could inspire you with my tutorials a little today.
Happy crafting,
