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

Katzelkraft - Stampotique Raven

Hi Everyone, Do you know that   Katzelkraft has aquired Stampotique stamps? This fun raven is designed by Daniel Torrente (#6314). I used an old background from my stashs.  I stamped the bird and colored it with alcohol ink markers.  I brushed distrss ink onto the background and added some pattern with the   Mandala Magic stencil  from Funky Fossil Designs.I used one of the border stamps on the left for more interest.  Stamped the sentiment  and doodled a frame around the sentiment.Added a googly eye to the bird and drew in some eye lashes.  The stamps I used are from the following sets: Spiral Borders - KTZ286,  Whatchamacallit  - KTZ276  (FRANCE) Spiral Borders  - KTZ286 , Whatchamacallit  - KTZ276 (USA) Hope you liked this - I'll be back next Wednesday with more Katzelkraft inspiration.  Thanks for visiting! Happy Stamping! Linking up with: Simon Says Wednesday challenge  - fur or feathers
