'Soar' by Elisa Ablett - Rubber Dance June Challenge

Hi everyone, 

Just popping in to share a challenge project I created for the June Challenge at Rubber Dance Blog, Summer Theme Challenge.

I love these stamps! and I am slowly collecting them bit by bit :-) 

My mixed media tag features the Hummingbird Rubber Dance stamp and handmade coloured baby wipe flowers with touches of gold foiling. The background is created using the following mixed media products - gesso, distress ink - mermaid lagoon, cracked pistachio, Irresistable inks and Ken Oliver Gold Colour Burst Liquid.

I hand made the flowers and leaves using die cuts glued and fussy cut from a hand coloured baby wipe which had been dried. I then added gold foil touches to the leaves and the bird's wings. My tag reminds me of the birds and colours of summer in the area in which I live, the blue of the ocean, the green of the foliage and trees and the beautiful honey eating birds and flowers that come to stop in the garden.

Here are some close ups of the gorgeous stamp!

Here are the details of the challenge over at the Rubber Dance Blog.

'Fly with Me' By Elisa Ablett - Mixed Media Tag for Rubber Dance Stamps May Colour Challenge

Hi all,

Something completely different today!

I was so excited when I received my first Rubber Dance Stamps - Butterfly Girl 2 stamp from Ink Art Designs in Australia so I popped over to the blog for inspiration when I saw the May Colour Challenge and thought I would give it a go  :-) 

Here is the very colourful mixed media tag that I created for the May Colour Challenge based on the below mood board.

Here are some close ups of the finer details and my gorgeous Butterfly Girl 2 stamp! 

I stamped it twice and coloured each layer to create a multdimensional effect and the vision of her flying.

The gorgeous shimmer you see is due to Daler -Rowney Acrylic Inks - Metallic in Rose Petal.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today, I hope that you go visit the Rubber Dance or Ink Art shop via the links I provided above and grab some of these unique and great quality stamps :-)

Thanks xx

NOW FOR MY DESIGN TEAM TAKE ON THE CHALLENGE

 I chose the bottom line of the challenge, Watercolours, Doilies and Stencils.

I chose to complete a Mixed Media Tag using Lindy's sprays and magicals as my watercolours, a handmade doily using modelling paste (oh yes I did!) and a Dusty Attic Stencil with modelling paste. If I get enough interest I will do a tutorial making modelling paste embellies, so let me know in the comments or contact Kylie if you would like to see it happen :-)

 Materials used from Shop and Crop Scrapbooking -

Lindy's Stamp Gang Magicals - Yellow Rose of Texas

And introducing a couple of RAW Mixed Media Tags from Memory Maze Chipboard that I helped design, which is super exciting! 

These tags are heavy weight chipboard with custom made 'fancy tops' and they will withstand copious amounts of mediums. Perfect fancy ATC's or just mixed media tags. 

Here they are in their RAW state, ready for artsy fartsy stuff and things 😝

Plenty more designs available with more on the way. If you want to get your hands on these beauties, contact Kylie at Shop and Crop for a special customer order.

Here is the link to take you to the Mixed Media Tags at Memory Maze that were inspired by my Designs.

That's it from me today,
