Stampendous and May Arts Blog Hop


Welcome back to our Friday finale hop. This whole week the Stampendous and May Arts design teams have been showcasing these companies products together. 


If you've missed a day, never fear you can jump over to the beginning of today's hop at the Stampendous blog and find links to the rest of the hop. 

There are three chances to win a prize package including the stamps I've used today, plus an assortment of ribbon. Details and deadlines can be found on the Stampendous blog.


My card was made using the no line coloring method with the Beautiful Braid stamp and watercolor markers by Winsor and Newton. Although they are markers, I still chose to use a water and brush to apply the color.


Once done with Beautiful Braid, I masked off the image with rubber cement and applied watercolor with a wet sponge to through Dreamweaver Stencils Peacock Background stencil.

I added the sentiment from Sisters Perfectly Clear Stamp set and then overall added detail with Prismacolor Pencils.


The ribbon treatment was made with May Arts 7/8 Inch Double Faced Satin – Celery and 1/8 Inch Suede/String Brown.

Thank you for stopping by and have fun on the rest of the hop today!

  10. I enjoyed seeing my possible new stamp (if I win!) in use. Loved the idea of stamping, masking, and then embossing the background.

  14. Beautiful card; beautiful cement! I love the detail with the hair. I've never heard of masking with rubber cement and would love to know how you do it. :)

    1. Karen, yes I have been masking lately with rubber cement. Caution: I've heard that using rubber cement for the masking medium does yellow the paper, so probably not best to use it on something you want to frame and keep around for a long time.

      The process is quite simple. I use a detail paint brush that is labeled only for rubber cement. I drop a dollop of rubber cement onto an acrylic plate and begin adding it to my image. I make sure to use a thick layer so that everything is covered and the brush is more used to push the cement around.
