Floral Collage ~ Red Rubber Designs DT

       Happy weekend! I'm back with an art journal spread featuring some Floral Cling Mounted Rubber Stamps from Red Rubber Designs!  

     The background was colored with Lindy's Magicals (Rowdy Rizzo Red, Greased Lightnin' Green, and Yodeling Yellow). Then I applied black gesso to a floral Prima stencil, shown on the left, to reveal the colors. 

     The main image and some of the plants were recycled from a magazine. I also recycled some fruit netting underneath the main image, where I randomly applied some Prima Olive Green Rust Effect Paste. The paste was also used along the torn edges of the black cardstock, and finished with a coat of Emerald Creek (Apple Martini) Embossing Powder, for a cool mossy effect. 

     All of the stamping was done with Archival Ink (Jet Black), embossed with Emerald Creek (Black Onyx) Embossing Powder, and colored with the same Magicals as the background. The big yellow flowers were made with the Charcoal Flowers Stamp.  

     

     To create a bush, I cut off the vase from the Spring Bouquet Stamp. Then I added the red flowers, embossed with the Floral Collage Stamp. 

          Thanks for looking!

Spring Bouquet Thank You Card ~ Red Rubber Designs DT

     I'm back again with another Thank You card, this time featuring the Spring Bouquet stamp from Red Rubber Designs!

     And it was a happy coincidence that my color palette just so happened to match this month's Color Challenge @ Lindy's Stamp Gang!

     The colors are so light and soft, so it's kinda hard to tell, but I used four LSG sprays on the cream background (Cotton Candy Pink, Tiffany's Blue, Violaceous Violet, and Treasure Island Aqua). Then I used a paintbrush with the same color sprays for the background of my stamped image, using Sidewalk Chalk to color the vase. The flowers and wood grain were then colored with Distress Inks.  For the sentiment, I used the Savvy Sayings stamp, embossed with LSG Purely White Embossing Powder. The doily was sprayed with Cotton Candy Pink, and the edges were colored with Worn Lipstick Distress Ink.

     Then I punched and layered three of my papers for the Layer it Up Challenge @ Frilly and Funkie, adding even more layers with my stamped image and doily, which I stitched through with my sewing machine, along with the edges of the wood grain paper. To finish it off I added some dots of Liquid Pearls (Petal Pink) along the punching, and some fiber tied in a bow.

       Thanks for looking, and enjoy your weekend!
