Fashionable Stamping & Garden Makeover

Playing with heat embossing, distressed oxides and stamping.
I stamped my Fly-Fly flowers stamp from Rubber Dance,
 with versamark stamp pad,
onto a background designed with the D/O inks, then
heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

Fussy cut my stamp and double mounted onto my background.
Then I stamped the same stamp in the misti with the D/O and fussy cut
part of it out and double mounted onto the heat embossed stamp.

Most of my techniques have come together from a learning process from
Karen's blog...thanks Karen.xx

"Fly-Fly Flower"

Check out my birthday candy

The challenge at rubber dance has a fabulous colour 

board this time to use...

I used my  Tim Holtz Distressed Inks and smooshed the background
over my masked stamp. What was still left on the acetate,
I splattered onto my background.
I then stamped again onto another card, stamped
with the same stamps then fussy cut and double mounted
onto my bottom layered stamp.

Stamp called "Fly-fly Flowers" is just gorgeous and can be purchased
at Rubber Dance or Aussie residence at Ink Art Designs.

More new stamps from Rubber Dance, thanks Dot,
for posting so promptly.  [These stamps can be
purchased here in Australia at Ink Art Designs.]
I am using Retro Beach.

While waiting for my stamps to arrive, I decided to
challenge myself with a few beach scenes.
Acrylic paints onto canvas was my first time to play.
The Result:

After stamping with black versafine ink, I then clear embossed
and gave it a shot with the heat gun.
Thanks Karen for this idea.
The canvas soaks up the ink.

Also, sharing a mixed media creation but this time onto glossy
card stock. [not for the challenge]. Using mixed media paste,
stencils and TH distress inks.

Inkspirational....

newsprint technique

Today I experimented with another technique,

The 'newsprint' technique 

by Anita and at Rubber Dance blog

Please click onto one of the links above to read how to do this.

My embossing actually now looks a bit like the bleaching effect,

and it is brighter.  Another plus is you can then stamp over it all.

 Go check it out.

The colours in my tag are a reminder that the
summer holidays are just around the corner for my part
of the world. The blue and green resemble the colours of the
sea and surf and the off white resembles the sand.

Stamps used are both from Rubber Dance called

Antique Botanicals and Artfully Stamped.

Clear embossing powder and Distressed Inks were used.

Use up the scrap stash

Trying to squeeze another project in for the Rubber Dance challenge.

For my mixed media/journal project I used  the negative left

overs from my dies that were in my 'scrap' stash.

JoSonja's texture paste and old acrylic paints were used.

For my circles I use a top from a fabric softner.

Text and butterfly are new stamps from Rubber Dance Stamps,

called Butterfly Trio, stamped the smallest one and fussy cut,

Text stamps are called Affirmations Stamped with Versafine Spanish Moss ink.

I also used a Rubber Dance script stamp.

These stamps can also be purchased if you live in Australia from

Ink Art Designs.

bubbling away

Hi lovely people. Sharing today a card I made using the

bubble technique. My background was made using

acrylic ink, water, detergent and a straw. A bit

messy in the process but loved the results.

I then squished ecoline inks over the top of the bubbles

and used an old glass to make the big circles with left over

paint on my craft sheet.

Stamps used are from Rubber Dance Stamps

called "Textured Flowers", and a set I use

many times over and over.

One by three!!

One inky mess but once again, the rain kept pouring down yesterday, so

 I needed to play with my stamps from

Rubber Dance.

Using gesso, dylusion sprays and all Rubber Dance Stamps 
My flowers were stamped x3, fussy cut and the top one
out of foam and shaped on the iron.

My "rule of 3" consists of the building stamped with 

memento ink onto my messy background.

Stamps used are:
Affirmations
Textured Houses
Textured flowers
These are large stamps and consist of numerous different
ones on the sheet, great value for money too.

"Rule of 3"

Big Welcome to my blog Bev, you have some gorgeous displays

& well worth visiting your blog..♥

My newest set of stamps arrived last week from Rubber Dance Stamps

so I am taking advantage of my lovely Butterfly Trio stamps,

Vintage script and Artfully stamped [the sentiment]

Background was designed using mixed media stencil by ARTplorations,

 texture paste, embossing of the script, brusho's  and dylusion sprays.

After stamping and heat embossing my butterfly stamps onto more mixed media

paper, I then fussy cut them out and placed accordingly onto my creation.

Always fun in the making.
