Rubber Dance April Colour Challenge

Hi Everyone

Today is the start of a brand new colour challenge over on the Rubber Dance blog and there are gorgeous stamps to be won!!!

The colours this month are Rose Pink, Dusky Grey and Powder Blue and there is an optional theme of texture.  I decided to start a brand new art journal and was inspired to create a page using two lovely Rubber Dance Stamps.  I use Lace as my background image so it was a perfect way to start building texture on my page and I used the large butterfly stamp from the Antique Botanicals set to enhance my background and to make a couple of fluttering features on my page.  Hope you like it.

There are lots of ways to add texture to a project - I have added jewels, stitching and layers of paper and the tiniest touches of distress glitter as you will see on the video tutorial.

I have decided this art journal is all about exploring how different products work with each other and this time I used Gesso, I stamped with Archival Ink and I used my Faber Castell Pitt pens to bring colour to my page.

I hope I have inspired you to play along with us over at Rubber Dance this month.  Just follow this link to see all the other inspiration from my fellow teamies.  I am always amazed at how many different directions each colour scheme inspires.  I look forward to seeing what you create.

I think you can see all the elements I used to create texture on my page in this close up!  Two video tutorials in two days!!!  I am off to put my feet up now ;-)

Have fun over at the Rubber Dance Blog - don't forget to check out all the lovely stamps while you are there.
