Hello good people! I have made an attempt on a style I'm not comfortable with, it just sort of happened! I was playing with the new stamps from Rubber Dance, and I thought the ice skates would look nice if I made them vintage... and one thing just lead to another ....
So, what is this - shabby chick or vintage? Vintage Shabby Chick? No matter what the style is called, it was fun to try something
different from what I usually make. You know I love a good challenge!
:-)
The next card is more my style, wouldn't you say? I printed the text out, but the images are from Whimsical Winter - one of the new stamp sets from Rubber Dance.
Here's another "Bibi style" card. The sentiment and penguin are both from the new stamps at Rubber Dance
(released today!).
(released today!).
I made the background first - sea with Distress Oxides and a spray of water, sky with regular Distress ink. All the images were stamped on watercolour paper and coloured with Zig markers, cut out and placed on top of my background. I cut a line through the "waves" and tucked half of the whale behind the waterline. The whale and clouds are also stamps from Rubber Dance, 'case you wondered. I drew the shark fin on watercolour paper and coloured it with grey and black Zig markers. It looked better, not so flat, as if cut out of black cardstock.
Below are some tags I cut out of a background I had in my stash. Just having fun with the new sentiments stamps from Rubber Dance :-)
If you want to see more artwork with the new stamps, most made by Donna Gray who designed the new Whimsical Winter stamps for Rubber Dance, check out my post on the Rubber Dance blog.
Thanks for looking!
♥ Wishing you all a lovely and creative week ♥

Thank you, Tracey! I'm happy to hear that my makes made you giggle - mission completed! :-))) Warm hugs right back at you! ♥
DeleteI think your skates make is both Shabby chic AND Vintage! I love the style but I have trouble with getting enough "stuff", my attempts are on the cleaner side of Shabby... Love your other cards too, great new stamps!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Craftyfield! ♥ I know what you mean about getting enough stuff, it's not easy! Especially if you're used to cleaner makes (as we both are). My cards are usually 1-2, max 3 layers... But it was fun to try! x
DeleteWell I’m loving your new venture into the shabby chic style of crafting and you’ve done it beautifully Bibi along with all your other wonderful creations too, you certainly are a very talented young lady :)
