Join our Combined Blog Hop!

Hello Crafters! We're excited to welcome you to the very first joint blog hop with EyeConnect Crafts and Rubber Dance Stamps!

Erin Sparler of EyeConnect Crafts (USA) and Bibi Lindahl of Rubber Dance Stamps (Norway) met online in the fall of 2015. They quickly hit it off and discovered that they had a LOT in common, or as Erin so eloquently put it: There is no word for old friends who have just met!  

 

The Design Teams have been generously supplied with chipboards from EyeConnect Crafts and rubber stamps from Rubber Dance Stamps and we are all thrilled to show you the results with this joint Blog Hop.

For my project, I've used EyeConnect Craft's Totem Peacock.  Because the male is more colorful than the female, I chose to create a male peacock.

I first painted the chipboard pieces with Gesso.   Gessoing first really allows the colors you use to pop.  Once dry, I used assorted colors of ColorBox Chalk Inks then assembled the peacock with Assorted Browns Mini Brads also from EyeConnect Crafts.

And this peacock really thinks he's sexy, hence the sentiment from Rubber Dance Art Stamps - Sarcastic Superpower - which is a fun and somewhat snarky collection of red rubber stamps.
 

The background was embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder then lightly inked for definition.  My peacock was mounted on two large ovals of white and kraft and the sentiment was slipped between the feathers.

Isn't he just adorable!

Please stop by everyone's blog to see what they've created today.
