Gold and Silver Thank You Card ~ Red Rubber Designs DT

     Combining gold and silver can be very striking and elegant, especially when embossed with rubber stamps from Red Rubber Designs!

     I started by stamping the background script onto white cardstock, using permanent black ink, with the Beauty of a Woman stamp, and spritzing with Lindy's Sprays. Then I embossed the Fern Frond Stamp with Emerald Creek (Silver Sparkle) Embossing Powder, and the bamboo with the Simple Starters Stamp using EC (Charred Gold) EP.

     I used EC (Charred Gold) again with the So Splattered Cling Mounted Stamp along the bottom and right side. Then I embossed the sentiment with the Vintage Greetings Stamp (no longer available) with EC (Mirror Gold) EP, and adhered the sequins and beads one by one. 

 

     
     The frame was cut and mitered from a heavy kraft board, and covered with black gesso. Then I embossed it with the Victorian Borders Cling Mounted Stamp using EC (Mirror Gold and Mirror Platinum) embossing powders. 

     These older Petaloo butterflies were the perfect addition!

     Thanks for stopping by, and get these stamps and more at Red Rubber Designs!

Love You Card ~ Red Rubber Designs DT

          February is the month of love, and the I Heart You Unmounted Rubber Stamp from Red Rubber Designs, is perfect for all of your Valentine's projects, including weddings and anniversaries! With a few other stamps, and an old plastic zipper, I created this card for my husband.

     My design inspiration came from Sketch #186 at Feeling Sketchy.

     I stamped the largest heart from the I Heart You Set on the back of the grey pocket, and cut it out, revealing the red cardstock with the sentiment. Then I hand-stitched around the heart, and machine-stitched around the pocket, after embossing it with the Background Stripes Stamp and Emerald Creek Hammered Metal EP. 

     To mimic a love note coming out of the pocket, I embossed a piece of white cardstock with the Vintage Script Cling Mounted Stamp, anchored by three hearts from the I Heart You set. 

     The zipper was embossed with Emerald Creek Hammered Metal EP, and attached to a couple of 6" strips of red cardstock, embossed with the Victorian Borders Stamp using Emerald Creek Black Onyx EP.

    Thanks for taking a look, and shop Red Rubber Designs for these stamps and more!

Art Gave Her Wings Tag ~ Red Rubber Designs DT

      Happy Thursday! I'm featuring the Art Gave Her Wings and Victorian Borders stamps on this elegant blue and gold tag, for Red Rubber Designs!

         First I created a sky background on a white tag with some watered down Distress Spray Stain (Broken China). Then I applied some bold Dylusions Paints (London Blue and After Midnight) along the bottom and right side of my tag, to really show off the gold embossing with the Victorian Borders Cling Mounted Stamp. By adding a strip of masking tape at a 45 degree angel before embossing,  I was able to create a mitered border, making my corner look seamless.

     The sentiment was stamped with black ink, and ART and the grommet on top, embossed in gold, using Ranger's Gold Tinsel Embossing Powder, which I also used for the borders. Then I mounted my tag onto a slightly larger painted tag, and ran a line of Golden Rod Stickles along the edges.

     I colored the image stamped in black with the Art Gave Her Wings stamp, using some sprays, paints, and markers, before popping her up over a fluffy cloud made from a cotton ball.Then  I added another layer to emboss the crown with some blue bling. She reminds me of myself as child, with my head up in the clouds, and a pencil or crayon in my hand. Some things never change! Lol!

     Thanks for stopping by!

Victorian Thank You Card ~ Red Rubber Designs DT

     Thank you for stopping by again! I'm so pleased to share my full Victorian Thank You card for Red Rubber Designs DT!

     Besides inks and embossing powders, this whole card was colored using Walnut Ink 2-pack Cupcake Spritzers. After using both sprays on the background, I sprayed it again with the pink (Cherry Blossom) onto the Tim Holtz Gothic Stencil for a faded Victorian wallpaper look.

     Then I tore a piece of cream tissue paper, and stamped it with the Vintage Background stamp using Burnt Umber Palette Ink for the script, and Belle Rose on the top right. I colored the edges with the brown (Java) spritzer, and adhered the tissue paper with Tim Holtz' Distress Collage Medium (Vintage). The rest of the stamping was embossed using Lindy's Stamp Gang Twilight Bronze Slate, and I used the Victorian Borders Cling Mounted Stamp across the front.

     The flowers were embossed with the Medallions stamp, with Clear Wink of Stella and Glossy Accents on the centers.

               
      The large sentiment was embossed with the Thank You stamp, and I finished it off with distressed edges and machine stitching. Thanks for looking!
