RubberStampMadness Magazine ~Spring 2026

Hi there!
Today I'm sharing a mixed media card that was 
published in RubberStampMadness Spring 2026
Issue.  It is available now HERE!!!! I'm using
products by Creative Worship Stamps (except
for the sentiment sticker). 


I submitted a mixed media card set and they published
one of the cards.  I'm gonna show you both but first
the published card.





To create the background, for the card, I started with a mix of
Distressed Oxide inks.  Salty Ocean and Mowed Grass is where I started.
I then stamped the background using Psalms 23 in Salty Ocean.  I
then added in the stencil Mixed Up using Mowed Grass.  I 
then added in the focal stamps called Nature Silhouettes.  I
also added were Vintage Elements and Texture Tiles #1. The
sentiment is from Tim Holtz's Small Talk sticker set. 


The last thing I like to do is speckle the card front with white
or black acrylic paint. Love the look it gives the card.

The pink card is done the same way, just used different Distress
Oxide Inks.  The inks used are Worn Lipstick, Salty Ocean and
Prize Ribbon.  Stamps are the same.  All adhesive is by
Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.
Always so fun when a card is requested.  
 Thanks RubberStampMadness!!

Art Share Tags~

 Hi there!!
I have been creating mixed media tags, my favorite way
to create, these days.  I'm using some retired stamps, from
Blue Knight Stamps, with some of the
current Mixed Media Stamps.  Always fun creating tags to
share with friends!!


I created this set together.  Working on each tag separately but designing a 
set of tags that showcase the different ways stamps can be added to create
a different tag/card front. I stayed with the same stamps for all 
three tags. The ink is Distress Oxide. I used Peeled Paint, Cracked
Pistachio and Crushed Olive for the background mix. Speckle with
white acrylic paint when tag front is finished.
Stamps: Blue Knight: Tiger Swallow Butterfly/retired, Rejoice Always/
retired, Reverse Sentiments, Mixed Media Numbers, and
Background Branches. Adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L
Paper Doll people by Tim Holtz. 
Thanks for stopping by!!!
