The Rubber Room

Good Afternoon! I completed this layout this afternoon and am very happy with how it turned out!  Please excuse my photography skills as there's so much texture and 3d aspects that don't show well. When the BoBunny Bella Rosa papers arrived last week my eye gravitated to the one showing old wood gates.  I immediately thought of my mother's photo from 1943 and how this would frame it perfectly!  I started off by sponging on Prima Alchemy paint in Gold Rush to highlight the middle of the paper.  I received some really neat Colorbox stencils last week and the one called 'swirl dot' reminded me of the winter winds whipping around.  I used texture paste here and there around the gold focal point.  The berries on the branches were accented with glossy accents and I used a snowflake stencil with Inka Gold as well. The old jalopy was painted with Viva Decor 3D paints in rust and dark brown.  They have such a nice sandy, rusty look to them!  DecoArt Snow Wri

I'll be putting in a pre-order tomorrow for the new WRMK Precision Stamping Tool.  It's like another one on the market but don't know how different they both are from each other. View the video and if you're interested I'll put you on the list for their arrival in October! Cheers, Sheree The Rubber Room

Good Morning! Here's the first official post of my new adventure!  I hope that what I post gets the creative juices flowing and you create something special as well. The BoBunny Farmers Market papers are beautiful!  Fall is my favourite season with everything changing it's colours before a long winter. With this card I've used vellum, glossy accents, Distress Inks in Lemonade and Wild Honey for the ribbon and Gathered twigs for all edges.  The vellum was embossed with a folder I've had for years and never use and then sewn by machine onto the background.  When it's a fairly small area to emboss, play with texture!  We all have many 'impulse buy' items in our stash and this is a great way to use them!  Use pop dots to add height in various ways and stickles or what ever you have to play with light. The bow was distressed with ink and then used a Penny Black stamp to add Gathered Twigs.  My photography skills have gone by the wayside so once I&

Good Evening Everyone! I am so excited about getting back into blogging!  I am working on some projects and should have the first one posted tomorrow night.  I will now be forced to complete everything instead of jumping to playing with 'new stuff' all the time.   The new BoBunny paper lines are so beautiful and there's a fun Autumn card in the works.  I hope you will like what I'm putting together.  See you tomorrow!!

Good Morning! Here's a Christmas card we made in class using the Sizzix On The Edge die for the holly and another Sizzix die for the leaping deer.  Sewing and a layer of vellum added texture to the card that was finished off with a white satin bow. Thanks for looking and happy crafting! Sheree The Rubber Room

Good Morning! I have a Christmas card from last year that I'd like to share.  The papers are from Authentique and I wanted to show everyone that you don't need Christmas papers to create a lovely card.  We used black, cream and silver as well as the Sizzix Pine Tree die and a die for the sentiment. Thanks for looking and happy crafting! Sheree The Rubber Room
