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!

Art journal page with Distress Crayons, stencils and stamps – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello, it´s again my turn to share a create project over at Rubber Dance blog today and I´m up with another art journal page share. I made this one inspired by the beautiful watercolor pages Susanne makes, only I used Distress Crayons and stencils on the circles instead of watercolors. The products I used here are Weed Love stamps and Cross It, Marks 2, Marks 3 stencils, Grungy Butterflies and Mix a Sentiment 2023 stamps.

I started by applying various tones of Distress Crayons onto the page in circular motion. After that I misted the areas with a little water spray and then, when still wet, place a stencil over them and using a baby wipe wiped some of the wet crayon away.

After that I added some black details around the circles and stamped with Weed Love some images onto the page. I also added some blue crayon droplets and golden pigments in droplets for additional interest to the page. Next I wrote some asemic writing here and there and finally decorated the page with a Grungy Butterfly and created a sentiment with Mix a Sentiment stamp set.

Here is a start-to-finish video for all the steps:

I hope you get inspired by some of the techniques and/or ideas and grab your art journal and start to create! Have fun!

Set of card with Mixed Sentiments and Marks 3 stencil with Distress Oxide Inks – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello, it´s my turn again to share a set of mixed media cards (and a video tutorial) over at Rubber Dance blog today. For these cards I used the Mixed Sentiments, Mix A Sentiment 2023 and Sketchy Leaves stamp sets and the new Marks 3 stencil and here is how I created the cards:

I started by creating the DIY paper featured in the die cut circles. I always take a spare paper to add my brayer paint residues onto, when I am gelli printing. So I took one of those papers stamped the Mixed Sentiments with a brown Distress Oxide Ink repeatedly in a random order onto the paper.

Next I inked the Marks 3 stencil with 3 tones of blue Distress Oxide inks and misted the layer with a water spray bottle. Then I pressed the stencil onto a piece of white paper to create the pattern. You can use the same inked stencil at least twice, just add water mist and press again onto another paper. There will be variations on pattern and color strength, but that makes the backgrounds even more interesting. No of them will be the same.

After creating both the background and the DIY collage paper, I die cut the collage paper one with circle and flag die cut dies. Then I adhered the stenciled background paper onto white card bases, added the die cut pieces on top and decorated the cards with fussy cut Sketchy Leaves and a bunch of Mix a Sentiment 2023 words. There are lots of layers, but still all of the cards are very flat, so they will be easy to mail.

Here are a few step-by-step videos for more details. This one is on how to make the collage paper yourself:

On this one I show how the cards come together:

And this one I´ve shared earlier, but here is how I did the leaf images:

I hope I could inspire you a little with this card set idea. Have fun stamping and stenciling!!

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

Leave a comment

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,

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!
