Art Girl Art Journal Page

 "I am an oddity of one, my strangeness too complicated to explain or share."  - Linda Bray

One of my most favorite things to create are art journal pages. I have journaled my whole life and when I found a way to bring my journaling and art together it was a very happy day. The art journal pages I share are usually inspired by quotes or song lyrics. There are a whole host of pages that, just like my writing journal, are filled with my private thoughts, emotions, hopes, and dreams. 

Today I have an art journal page I did using the newest stamps and stencils for Blank Page Muse.  

Color Me Perfect Art Doll 

Bedazzled Diamonds Stencil

and my favorite stamp - Handwritten Note

Here are all the supplies I used to create this whimsical art journal page... 

You can jump over to my blog, Scrapbooking Technique to see how I created this art journal page and also to see how I condition my clear acrylic stamps before using them for the first time.

Elephant and Gel Printing Plate Background Card

Happy Holidays BPM/IBFS Fans! Betty here today. I was so excited this summer when I got a gel printing plate (Gelli Arts Printing Plate) for my birthday. I’ve wanted one for a while and when a friend sent me a gift card for Amazon, I decided that is what I wanted to get! It took me a few tries with different mediums before I decided that using Distress Oxide Inks gave me the best results. Using the oxide inks on the gel printing plate produced the perfect background for this amazing stamp called Elephants from Blank Page Muse/I Brake for Stamps. I love all things elephants so I will be keeping this card and displaying it on my shelf. 

You can save 15% on this stamp and all purchases at Blank Page Muse and at I Brake for Stamps by using my special code BPMBetty.

Vintage Distressed Christmas

Hello from design team member, Heidi.  

I was in the mood to use some distress inks so I decided on making a vintage-look distressed Christmas card.  I really love the soft, muted tones.  The backgrounds were sponged and then I spritzed water on the backgrounds to remove ink. And I dried the panels and repeated the process until I loved the look.  The colors I used were Bundled Sage, Speckled Egg, Tea Dye and Antique Linen.  

I added shadows to the dove image with a grey marker, and then I applied some glitter glue over top to get a pretty holiday look.  

I finished the card off simply with some silver twine and gems.  

I hope this card reminds you of the spirit of Christmas past and present. 

 I used stamps from the Blank Page Muse shop:

Holiday Ink Smooshed Card

Happy Holidays BPM/IBFS Fans! Betty here today. Here's a fun, fast, and easy card to make with no coloring whatsoever! Just playing with some Distress Inks and stamping with red rubber stamps from Blank Page Muse/I Brake for Stamps. I used three stamps from three different sets to make this card. The first one is a stamp called Santa on Sled with Reindeer Art Silhouette from the Winter Wonderland set (the single stamp is also available); second one is the trees from the Sir Holiday Gnome Tree No Place Like Gnome set; and the third is the fancy swirl stamp from the Background Grunge set by Pam Bray. It's always fun when I get to do some ink smooshing and stamping!

A Snowy Night

Winter is coming!  

One of my favorite things to do when its snowing at night is to just stand outside and listen to the quiet snowy night sounds.  Today I am excited to share this card I made trying to recreate that serenity that comes from a quiet snowy night!  And a bonus is that this card is easy to  "mass" produce in case you are a little behind on your holiday cards like me! 

Supplies needed to recreate this card include:

Blank Page Muse Star Bright Gnome Wintery Tree Let Your Light Shine words Art Rubber Stamps designed by Pam Bray

Blank Page Muse Waterclouds Layering Shapes Mixed Media Stencil 

Blank Page Muse Celestial Moon & Stars Mixed Media Stencil designed by Stephanie Eaton 

Dark Blue Paper (I used a shiny paper); Ink - Blank, White; Paint- White;

Sentiment Sticker

Start by stamping the tree repeatedly from Blank Page Muse Star Bright Gnome Wintery Tree Let Your Light Shine words Art Rubber Stamps designed by Pam Bray onto your blue paper. 

Using White ink and a dauber or a cotton ball, ink the lower edge of clouds from the Blank Page Muse Waterclouds Layering Shapes Mixed Media Stencil . 

Keep adding clouds until you are happy with your sky.

Using white ink add moon using the Blank Page Muse Celestial Moon & Stars Mixed Media Stencil designed by Stephanie Eaton. 

I just love the glowing sky the white ink created. 

Using white paint splatter your paint to create snowflakes!

Mat your stamped image ont your card base and add your sentiment to finish off your card!

Autumn Leaves Thank You card

 Hello from design team member, Heidi!  
 I had a productive time making cards the other day, and this one was my absolute favorite of the bunch!

For this card, I decided to stamp the leaf on two watercolored backgrounds.  One was a plain green, and the other was brusho sepia.  After I fussy cut these, I sponged some Tea Dye Distress ink around the edges to add depth. I also used a dotting tool to curl up the edges of the leaves.

Then I stamped this lovely flourished Thank You and die cut it.  I masked off the frame of the die cut and then stamped the little thicket stamp over top in a very light beige ink, and I also sponged over the edges with Speckled Egg Distress ink.  I really liked how that turned out.  

The stamps I used here are from Blank Page Muse shop.
