1st year anniversary giveaway and blog hop

This blog hop is to celebrate the 1st year anniversary of the Rubber Dance Stamp’s blog.

Each member of the Design Team have chosen 3 of our own favorite DT makes for this blog hop, and we will also let you know which 3 are our favorite single stamps. 3 seems to be the lucky number here, so there’ll be 3 winners, too!

TWO lucky winners drawn at random will win the Design Team members‘ favourite stamps!

ONE additional winner who shares this gift giveaway on Facebook gets a €20 voucher (approximately $25) to spend in the Rubber Dance webshop any time she wants! Just tell Bibi that you have shared it on Facebook when you leave a comment on the main blog, and you’re in!

I had to put on my thinking cap and drink 3 cups of tea before I could make my decision. There are so many fab Rubber Dance stamps, so even for me – not being the typical stamper – it was very hard to limit my choice to only 3. But here they are:

Pine Twig

Spiral

Grunge Swirls

I love them (not only because I designed and handcarved the spiral) because they are so versatile and can be used in many didfferent techniques and styles.

Here now the 3 creations with Rubber Dance stamps:

The green swirls are stamped with the same acrylic paint I used for the background. The Pine twig is stamped on delicate paper and glued on top. The swirls shine through very nicely.

The Grunge Swirls stamp is super for the simulation of water or clouds.

Sometimes I use white house paint. Here on top of an inked surface. I press the stamp into the wet paint and the undercoat appears.

Have fun visiting the other Design Team members! You will see a lot of great projects presented by most talented artists!

You are also welcome to browse around my blog to discover more art with Rubber Dance stamps. Have a good time!

See you soon
