Second Post for Today
If your looking for Rubber Dance Stamp Challenge post, click here

Hello everyone!! I’m here today with a a2z Scrapbooking Challenge. The theme this month is Getting To Know You!!

Take a look at my card:

Here’s how I created this card:

For this card I masked off a portion of the card with post-it tape.

Then I used Distress Ink Wild Honey and Broken China and blended them together using the ink blending tool.

After that, I stamp the butterflies from Hero Arts Layering Butterflies stamp set using Versafine Onyx Black Ink, 3 times. Then I stamped the sentiment using the same ink.

Once that is complete, I added small white dots using a gelly roll pen to enhance the butterflies.

Clean and simple design!

The theme is “Lots of Layers”! All you have to do is create a piece of work that has a lot of layers.

Check out what I created to inspire you:

love-rds

I tried to keep my tag pretty simple since that is more my style, but I also wanted to play around with some mixed media.

Are you asking yourself, where are the layers? I was hoping that you would ask.

Here you go:

I add gesso on the top of the tag and let it dry.
Then I blended Distressed Ink Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, Fired Brick and Seedless Preserve.
After that, I used Rubber Dance Stamps Round in Circles stamped paired with StazOn Jet Black Ink to stamp the circles.
Then I used the Rubber Dance Stamps Think Again stamp set to stamp the sentiment with the StazOn Ink.
To finish the tag off, I colored the Crinkle Ribbon with Mustard Seed reinker and added it to the tag.

Thats four layers!!! Yayyy!

What do you think? Please let me know below. I would love to hear from you.

The winner will win five fabulous stamps fromRubber Dance Stamp!! Wait, if the winner used stamps from Rubber Dance Stamp, they will winner another five stamps! That’s a total of 10 stamps!! Wow!!!

Ink Blending – Rubber Dance Stamps

Posted in Guest Designing, Rubber Dance Stamps by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! Guess what? Bibi from Rubber Dance Stamps asked me to Guest Design for her this month!! If you could see me jumping up and down!! Yes, I was down right excited.

I met Bibi a couple months back when she sponsored a challenge for one of my challenge teams. I commented on her pretty giraffe stamp and then when she asked if I would guest design I was excited.

Rubber Dance Stamp is a home based, one women show stamp company located on the south-east coast of Norway!! Bibi Lindahl is the owner!

The stamps are red rubber of course and you can buy them mounted or unmounted. The style of the stamps are artsy and somewhat grungy. I can see them being used a lot for mixed media. That doesn’t mean you can’t used them for clean and simple style cards, because you can. I have many times. LOL!!

Today’s card isn’t clean and simple at all. I’m playing along with Rubber Dance Stamps blog challenge today.

Here is a sneak peek of my card:
