Full Deck Challenge 39/2025 – stars

Leave a comment

Hello and happy Thursday! This is my take on the ShanoukiArt “Full Deck Challenge 2025”, number 39: stars.

I used some of the wild/bold colored collage paper as my carry over item from the previous deck card. Then I added some gelli printed and glitter paste stenciled (this Rubber Dance stencil) paper in tiny bits onto the background.

My constant is a date stamp (on the background) and on top I added DIY vintage tickets (using this and this stamp sets from Rubber Dance). I attached them with a stapler onto the deck card. On top I added a fussy cut vintage photo of a movie star (again matching the star theme with this one, too). I then added a stamped word and colored it with Neocolor II.

Here is the process video:

See you again next week with another take!

Full Deck Challenge 38/2025 – chaos

Leave a comment

Hello and happy Thursday! Here is my take on the ShanoukiArt “Full Deck Challenge 2025”, number 38/2025: chaos.

For this one I again used Yuna´s collage papers that she gifted to me. This time I chose bold and colorful/wild ones). And as a carry-over-item another collage paper with a face on it. I only wripped off the eyes, mouth and nose and adhered them onto the deck card very randomly.

On top I added some stenciling with a marker using this Rubber Dance stencil. After that I stamped with black ink and this Rubber Dance stamp on top. I tried to keep everything very chaotic (lots going on here and there). I colored the eyes with Neocolor II crayon to make them stand out better. My constant is on the background (a date stamp). And I finished the deck card off with this Rubber Dance sentiment stamp set words.

Here is the process video:

See you again next week with another take!

“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!

Full Deck Challenge 37/2025 – coffee

Leave a comment

Hello and happy Thursday! Here is my take on the ShanoukiArt “Full Deck Challenge 2025”, number 37: coffee.

I used collage papers gifted to me by Yuna from Australia and cafe con leche colored paper strips on the background. The collage papers are my carry over items from the previous deck card. On top I added some stamping with Hero Arts “cup-o-joe” brown ink (again the coffee theme there) and this Rubber Dance stamp.

After that I took a piece of gelli printed paper and stamped a STAMPlorations coffee mug with a sentiment as my focal point. I then also added the same brown stamp ink and stamping onto the mug. My constant is a date stamp (on the background) and I again used this Rubber Dance stamp set words to add detail.

Here is the process video:

Turn ink residue on a stencil into a fun card background!

Leave a comment

Hello, I am up with a card project over at Rubber Dance blog today again. For this card I used the Leaves 2 stencil and Autumn Leaves and Mix It Up 7 stamp sets. I got this idea while creating the “Hello Fall” art journal page. I was left with a stencil that had ink residue on both sides of it. I didn´t want to waste the ink, so I used it for this card background.

I like the soft look of it. Remember, the Distress Inks I used were ripe persimmon, forest moss, peeled paint and mustard seed. Those are quite strong colors on their own. But the “second image” of them turned out very soft.

I again added some golden pigments onto the surface. Then stamped the brown image with Distress Oxide walnut stain tone for contrast. I had some watercolor style stamped Autumn Leaves left, so I created a focal point with them and a paper sunflower. A handwritten word added for sentiment and the card was done in no time.

Here is the full step-by-step for you to watch. Enjoy!

I hope you get inspired to play a little with Rubber Dance stencils!
Happy creating!

Full Deck Challenge 36/2025 – flowers

Leave a comment

Hello and happy Wednesday! Here is yet another take on the ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge 2025. The prompt number 36 was “flowers”.

I used a paint residue paper (on the right side) as my carry-over-item from the previous deck card. My constant is a date stamp. On the left side I used a collage paper gifted to me by Yuna from Australia. I used the flowers as a background detail. On top I added some Rubber Dance Mix It Up 5 stamp set stamping.

Next I applied some Ocean Gloss Spray by Dina Wakley and decorated the piece with a Rubber Dance flower and stamped words. Stamps are from the Mix It Up 7 and Mix A Sentiment 2023 stamp sets.

Here is again the start-to-finish video:

See you next week with another take! Happy crafting!

“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!!

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!

Fast and easy-to-do bird cards – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello! It´s my turn to share a project over at Rubber Dance blog today. I have an easy-to-do set of cards up. I used the Mini Marks 1 stencil, the Textured Birds 2 and Weed Love stamp sets for these cards.

I started by stamping the birds onto a gelli printed paper and then fussy cutting them. After that I used the Mini Marks 1 stencil on the card backgrounds with Distress Oxide Inks (twisted citron and salvaged patina) and a blending tool. Next I stamped a “branch” to the card for the birds to sit on using the Weed Love stamp set. After adhering the birds onto place I added the stamped sentiments and a few hearts and stars to the cards.

Here is a short start-to-finish video for you to watch. Hope you like the idea!

If you have leftover gelli printed papers, try using them for creating coloful bird images next time. Then grab a stencil and you have a finished card created in no time!
Happy crafting,

Full Deck Challenge 34/2025 – happy scraps

Leave a comment

Hello and happy Wednesday! Here is my take on the ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge 34/2025: happy scraps.

For this one I used plenty of leftover bits from the previous deck cards (old book paper, collage papers gifted to me by Yuna from Australia, gelli printed papers). I wripped them into tiny pieces and arranged them very randomly onto the deck card. The book paper and the gelli printed paper bits are my carry over items this time.

After that I added stamping here and there with the Mix It Up 4 stamp set (Rubber Dance). I also added my constant, the date stamp. Next I used some Posca pens to add details to the papers (white, pink and blue).

For the focal point I used a premade tree (Textured Xmas Trees 2 by Rubber Dance) and some yarn. The premade tree is done ona glossy paper with Dina Wakley Gloss Sprays and stamping. I then also added some orange Posca pen details to the tree. Then I finished the deck card with a sentiment (Mix A Sentiment 2023 stamp set).

Here is again the process video – have fun watching!

See you again next week with another FDC take!
