Rubber Dance September color challenge

Welcome to the Rubber Dance monthly Art Stamping Challenge!

Our challenge is all about colour! Each month we bring you a gorgeous colour scheme to kick-start your stamping.

 This month our colours are classic autumn – warm golds, oranges and reds; the rich hues of trees in the fall.

 We'll pick an overall WINNER at random who receives an amazing grab bag of Rubber Dance stamps worth 25 Euro! (- that's over $30!)

• The Design Team will choose our favourite entry - our DT Pick of the MonthAND
• Any entries using Rubber Dance stamps will get a special mention!

- Both our winner and Pick of the Month will get badges to proudly display on their blogs.

- Winners will be announced here at the end of the month, so remember to check back to see if you won!

Need some inspiration? Check out these examples from our fabulous Design Team!

 And this is my art piece made for this challenge here:

  Fall is just around the corner with its rich colors and textures and this month RD challenge is just a perfect one to combine new Vintage birds stamp set and lovely set of leaves to make this warm chipboard tray as a wall deco for this season.

I used patterned paper to stamp over it as my basic layer and then added heat embossed and hand cut images from the Vintage Bird set around the frame. The bird was stamped clear embossing powder and heat embossed with black one; then I added some gold 3d enamel lines over the embossed surface.

Products used:

Rubber Dance- Vintage Birds, Twiggy Leaves

CHF Anything but a card challenge: Beautiful lo

 Hello my dear crafty friends! Today  I am going to show you my new layout made for Cornish Heritage Farms Anything but a card challenge.

Usually I make all kind of projects, such as cards, tags, OOP and scrapping. So for my own Not a card challenge I decided to scrap and those gorgeous CHF stamp sets were just perfect for the challenge.

I used  Beautiful stamps set  all over the page. Scrolls and flowers were stamped randomly over the PHP paper and then I made this Beautiful sub- title  with two more stamps from this set.

This is my lovely twin Ortal here playing with huge butterflies during her Thailand vacation a couple of years ago.

And if you want to play with our challenge you are invited!

Here is a list of all other designers and I am sure you can get a lot of inspiration there too.

SS GARDEN

Hello my dear crafty friends! Today is my turn to show you my Garden creation made for our Sweet Stamps new weekly challenge. I know that its the last day to enter this challenge, but then who knows? You can do a card or another GARDEN PROJECT and even to  win!

So here is my card for today: stamped Mixed Media card made with   one of the new in SS shop Memory box stencils: Modern Blooming Frame.

I used a light green colored texture paste  with this stencil and then misted the white cardstock with blue mist to get this look of my background.

Next step was to make my stamped panel and it was stamped with Wildflowers SS stamp in black. To make it pop I added some red blings over each flower  center and some glitter glue over the petals.

Finally I stamped this lovely sentiment from the new SS Simple Sentiments set. I love this font a lot and it's  a must to have set!

See you tomorrow in our SS blog for new challenge and more inspiration!

Happy Birthday with Inspired by Stamping

Hello my dear crafty friends! Today I am going to show you a fast , but lovely Birthday card made with 2 distress inks,  two stamps and a lot of inky fingers.
I made a die cut chipboard base for this card with a die and inked it with just 2 distress ink colors(the greens are from mixing blue and yellow). Then I stamped this gorgeous IBS flowers image with black permanent ink and inked the stamped image above with the same inks.

The sentiment was stamped  over IBS die cut banner and I just added a few crystals and pearls to make it glorious. As the last touch  some glitter glue was added over the  flower images to add some texture.

Sweet Stamps Anything goes with new release

There are two DT posts today- so please scroll  the blog  for the second post.

 Hello our dear crafty friends and welcome to Sweet Stamps new release.
As those adorable new stamps are still on the way to me, I used printable version of one of the stamp sets and I think even with this version it looks lovely.
I made circled mask and used Gelatos to paint the background. The whole image was then framed in this Creative Embellishments circled frame that was heat embossed with shiny yellow powder. I added some previously white (now misted) flowers and a small bow that fits the background color.

And now it's your turn: play with us and you can WIN!

Smell of Spring with IBS

I adore nature photos and flowers are my most favorite ones. So when you have great photos of roses and the best possible rose stamps, making a nice layout is easy. So here is my Inspired by Stamping today's post.

This lo was made in a kind of light Mixed Media style, with some masking, misting, texture and a lot (like 18) stamped roses from 2 different sets ( Elegant flowers and Vintage roses set) to make the outer paper background. I stamped over IBS  new Vintage Roses paper pad  and then misted all of my stamped and hand cut roses with a gold mist.

As you can see IBS images are not for card only. You can  make magic with them over your scrapbooking pages too.
