Kisses Layout ~ Red Rubber Designs DT

     I finally got a wedding page done for my sister and brother-in-law using mixed media and some stamps from Red Rubber Designs!

     My design inspiration came from this beautiful sketch from Scrap Africa!

     I started by coating a layer of  Prima Clear Gesso onto watercolor paper, attached some white tissue paper to it, and sealed it with another coat. Once dry, I used some Lindy Stamp Gang Sprays onto the background (Brushed Nickel, Black Orchid Silver, and Cathedral Pines Green), waited for it to dry again, and then stamped black script over it with the Beauty of a Woman Background Unmounted Stamp.  For the title I used the Sweet Sayings Unmounted Stamp with red ink to make it stand out.

     All of the other stamping was embossed onto clear, red, and green vellum papers using Lindy's Stamp Gang Embossing Powder (Queen Sheba's Silver), and the Celtic Images Cling Mounted Stamp, for my Irish brother-in-law. Then I used a small watercolor brush to color in the designs with Lindy's Stamp Gang Spray (Black Orchid Silver).

     The lattice work was done with white gesso and TCW Butterfly Collage Stencil. Once dry, I used the stencil again to apply some Inka-Gold (Platinum) with my finger. Then I layered three different sheer ribbons, and attached some white fibers and strands of pearls across the page.

     All of the red flowers are Petaloo's Textured Red Blossoms.

     The small white flowers I've had for a long time, and just added some pearls to the centers. The large white one is from Prima's Holiday Jubilee. Then I scattered some buttons around, stitched in white, to go with the hand-stitching I did in between the photos.

Thanks for looking!

Happy Mother's Day Card ~ Red Rubber Designs DT

     What mother wouldn't want to receive flowers for Mother's Day? I colored and fussy cut these yellow roses with the Charcoal Flowers stamp from Red Rubber Designs onto this tag/card that I made for my mother-in-law!

     My design inspiration came from sketch #3 used for this months Card Challenge @ Scrapbook.com.

     The background squares were colored with Distress Inks onto white cardstock, cut with decorative scissors, and machine stitched around the edges. I used the Beauty Of A Woman Background stamp to create the script on the green squares, by simply using water onto my stamp and letting it react with the Distress Inks for a softer look. To the yellow squares, I used a dotted stencil with some white gesso to create some polka dots. Then I stamped some smaller dots onto the white tag, using the Speckle Background stamp, and raised it up a little with some pop dots. 

   
     For the sentiment I used the Contemporary Greetings stamped along the bottom. Thanks for looking!
