Everyday Eclectic Card ~ Red Rubber Designs DT

     It's always a great idea to have an extra card on hand that can be used for almost any occasion! So I left out the sentiment on this card with a focus on color and heat embossing, featuring the Everyday Eclectic and Here I am Unmounted Stamps from Red Rubber Designs.

      The ombre background was made with Dirty Martini, Fresh Lime, and Lemon Zest Dylusions Paints, using Ranger's Mini Round Blending Tool. Then I used black ink with the Here I am stamp, and added clear embossing powder to it. 

     The pears were done in the same way, using the Everyday Eclectic stamp, and colored with Distress Inks. Then I finished the edges with distressing and machine stitching over a strip of sheer ribbon.

    Thanks for stopping by, and check out the new and improved Red Rubber Designs store now open for business!

Eclectic Rainbow Card ~ Red Rubber Designs DT

     I always have fun when I'm playing with color, and used the rainbow to create this card with Distress Inks and stamps from Red Rubber Designs!

     My design inspiration came from Sketch #150 at Feeling Sketchy, as I love combining cards with tags.

     I started with a Tim Holtz Manilla Tag that I applied Distress Inks (Candied Apple, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, Mowed Lawn, Blueprint Sketch, and Wilted Violet) to with my blending tool. Then I dripped water from a paintbrush over each color, and let it run down the tag. Once dry, I stamped the dragonflies using the Everyday Eclectic Unmounted Rubber Stamp Set. Then I stamped and layered my flower on top with the Nothing Is Better Unmounted Rubber Stamp Set, coloring it with Distress Inks. Behind the tag I used Distress Inks again onto white cardstock, blended my colors, (Salty Ocean, Blueprint Sketch, and Wilted Violet) and used black gesso to create the stripes with the Tim Holtz Stripes Stencil. Behind the stripes I used a piece of green mesh that I had saved from some fruit. I can never throw those away. Lol!

     I used the same ink and dripping water technique on the pocket, machine stitching the edges in black. The striped gesso piece was stitched along the edges with a rainbow thread. Then I stamped the black flower with the Natural Dream Cling Mounted Rubber Stamp, and the smaller flowers with the Floral Collage Cling Mounted Rubber Stamp. 

      Finally, for the sentiment, I used the Darling Unmounted Rubber Stamp Set, stamped in black. 

Thanks for your visit!
