Rubber Dance - Textured Mushroom and a Tutorial

Hi Everyone,

sadly this is going to be my last post as Rubber Dance DT member. Life has become too difficult for me, so I decided to step down. I have been really enjoying playing with those wonderfully interesting stamps. Susanne is a great, supportive and generous store owner. Thank you for having me on your team and having trust in my abilities!

I just had to play again with this wonderful Textured Mushroom stamp set. 


This time I decided on a black background.
I started out heat embossing the mushrooms one by one on black card stock. I used ultrafine embossing powder. Make sure you use a powder tool before you heat embowss to not have embossing powder stick where you don't want it to be.

I stamped one of the mushrooms on a scrap piece of black card stock and fuzzy cut it.


I colored the mushrooms with Prismacolor pencils


I used Gamsol for blending the colors. I added white splatters. I added the cut out mushrooms with foam tape. I trimmed the card and added a strip of patterned paper at the bottom.



You have a few more days to play along in our challenge, which goes until the end of the month. 
You'll find it in the Facebook Rubber Dance Stamping Lounge and its those three colors you see below or anything goes with Rubber Dance stamps.

What is it about mushrooms that delight me? Maybe their structure and little oddities that add character. Always think of fairy houses. Hmmm? Anyway, saw your card and immediately said, YAAASSS! It's like a little fantasy and your coloring is perfect. They all pop beautifully with the white embossing. Sorry, you're having to step down from Rubber Dance. It's been such a treat and I'll miss your entries.

What a gorgeous finale, Cornelia ... those quirky mushrooms are so beautifully coloured ... they positively glow against the black! Hope life settles a little for you! Hugs, Anita :)
This is a beautiful card and I love how the colored pencils show up so beautifully on the dark card stock. And, I am sure Rubber Dance will miss you. But sometimes we have to make decisions that are the best for us and so I understand how you came to this decision. In the past I had to do much the same thing and I like the less pressure in my life without being on a design team. I am getting too old to handle that anymore. LOL

Easter Egg and Bunny

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it.
