ART JOURNALING

Mixed Media cutouts 2 – kreativt_uttrykk

Leave a comment

Hello again! Here is yet another project I created using the mixed media cutouts by Åshild Halvorsen. This time it´s an art journal page.

First of all, go to her INSTA PAGE for awesome inspiration and more details on her various social media sites. Also, you can buy her cutouts in various sets (in different colours) over HERE (her Etsy-page).

And here is my art journal page:

I was playing with the cutouts and combined Distress Oxide inks and Rubber Dance stencils with them on this page. I first added some stenciling to the page with “cracked pistachio” and Organic 3 stencil. I love this pattern, by the way!!!

Next I took some “peacock feathers” and the Cross it stencil . On top of that I added the gorgeous blue toned birdies and some of the border images as well as circles. Then I added some asemic writing and colored some parts with a red Posca pen. I love red and blue together. I also outlined some of the crosses and added some doodling to the cutou images or next to them, to be more precise. Then I wrote a quote and fussy cut it into bits and adhered the pieces onto the page. I really like the freshness of this page and the birdies are really very cute!!

I hope I could inspire you to take a look at Åshild´s designs and Rubber Dance stencils :). They make a really nice combination here.

Happy crafting,

Mixed Media cutouts – kreativt_uttrykk

Leave a comment

Hello everyone!! My design team colleague at Rubber Dance Art Stamps has designed some cool mixed media cutouts and I was able to play around with them a litte.

First of all, go to her INSTA PAGE for awesome inspiration and more details on her various social media sites. Also, you can buy her cutouts in various sets (in different colours) over HERE (her Etsy-page).

And now to what I made:

I did a clean and simple style card with a tag on it that features the blue-toned cutouts. I added some details with a red Posca pen and a leftover strip of red gelli printed paper to go with all the blues and blacks. The sentiment stamps are by Rubber Dance, by the way. I also wanted to see how te cutouts would look like against a darker background, so I used a black paper bag that I decorated with several images from the “kit”.

On the background of the paper bag I have used some white and rose gold watercolor splatters for additional interest as well as a tiny red detail on the tree added with a Posca pen. The sentiment is again by Rubber Dance.

I will be sharing more inspiration here in a few days time, so do come back for more projects created with Åshild Halvorsen´s mixed media cutouts :).

Fodder cards with a gelli print background and Sketchy Leaves

Leave a comment

Hi, it´s again my turn to share a project over at the Rubber Dance blog with two Sketchy Leaves fodder cards. The backround on these cards is created with a gelli plate, acrylic paints and “Marks 2” as well as “Cross it” stencils in pastel tones. I created a few different gelli printed papers at once and used the one with some white space on it as a background for these cards. In my opinion, this adds lots of interest to the card, when the background is irregular in pattern.

I also created plenty of fodder with the Sketchy Leaves stamp and Distess Oxide inks at once and used some of them on these cards as a focal point. There are videos on the gelli printing, the fodder making and the step-by-step of the card creating process at the end of this post.

On the gelli printing video I am also using the “Organic #3″ stencil and I make several prints at once, because I will be using these prints on my future projects, too. Some prints are not perfect, but I don´t mind that. I am just going to pick the parts I like and use those later.

After creating the background papers with the stencils I then created plenty of fodder with Distress Oxide inks and the “Sketchy Leaves” stamp set. Here is a video on how I did that:

Finally, after the previous two steps, I put the cards together. Here is a sept-by-step video about the process:

I hope I could inspire you today to make fun gelli prints and create some cards with them and fodder. And while you are at it, be sure to create plenty of variations of both in different colors, so you have material for many projects ready, when inspiration hits.

Happy crafting,

Cards with Doodle Flowers with a twist – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello lovelies! I am up over at the Rubber Dance blog today with two mixed media cards using the Doodle Flowers stamps with a little twist. This is one of my first Rubber Dance stamp sets that I absolutely fell in love with. I wanted to use the flowers in a different way and created pink toned “skirts” for the paper dolls with them. For these cards I used the Doodle Flowers stamps with pink toned Distress Inks and Marks 2 and Cross It stencils with Distress Oxide Inks. You will find a video tutorial at the bottom of this post.

Unfortunately the Doodle Flowers in the Clear Version are almost sold out, but they are still be available as a rubber stamp set. It’s linked at the bottom of this post. And I’m sure they will be a follow-up clear stamps set in the future, with some brand new flowers 😉 !!!

Here is how I created the cards: I first added two pink Distress Ink tones onto a craft sheet and sprayed them with water. Then I wiped the paper onto the wet ink. After the paper was dry I stamped several images of Doodle Flowers onto the paper and fussy cut them (only the flower buds). Next I took an old music note sheet (if you don’t have music paper you can also use the Rubber Dance music stamp to make some on your own), misted it with light blue and green spray ink and after that added stencil marks with grey, green and blue toned Distress Oxide Inks and a blending brush onto the music sheet.

Next I cut the stenciled backgroud paper into a right size, adhered it onto a card base and then took a paper doll and added that as a centerpiece to the card with a skirt arranged from the fussy cut Doodle Flowers stamp images. Finally, I typed a sentiment with my old typewriter and adhered it onto each card. If you don’t own a typerwriter, you might like the Rubber Dance Mix A Sentiment stamp set!

Here is a start-to-finish video of how I created the cards:

I hope you liked this little card inspiration!
