Christmas Tag with Rubber Dance Stamps ♥

Finally I get into the Christmas Mood :)

I created the background of my tag with a Tim Holtz stencil and sprayed it with Picket Fence and Stormy Sky Distress Spray Stain. Cut the layered wings, the heart and the rosette. The heart was painted with Brushed Corduroy and Rock Candy Crackle paint.

I stamped my Rubber Dance Stamps sentiment from the set "Christmas Cheers & Gift Tags! and applied some distress glitter on the edges.

Lace and some Rhinestones finished my first "christmassy" tag for this year.

Happy crafting and have a good weekend!

.... and some close ups :)

Altered Cigar Box

Hello my crafty friends!

Welcome to my Rubber Dance tutorial post.

Today I am going to show you how to turn a dull cigar box with a lot of stamps and some embellishments into a beautiful treasure box to keep for yourself or to give away. There is much room in the box, so someone will be a very happy person ;)

I started with Gesso to make the surface even. I used two shades of Brown and a tad of Red, since I knew my lace was going to be red.
