Card Full of Roses

Hello! I'm Ana from Craft Me a Card coming to you once more with a Card showcasing a beautiful background stamp called Roses from Blank Page Muse by Pam Bray Designs. 

Once I saw this stamp, I knew exactly how I wanted to use it. The whimsical yet elegant nature of this design called for me to create a card using the color gold and a salmon pink. I can't wait to recreate this card using mint and gold as the colors.

Here I will be guiding you along as I explain the steps I take in creating this beautiful card for my cousins birthday. She loves this color and she loves roses.  

 Supply list:

• Background Roses 4"x 5" Red Rubber Stamp 
• Oxide inks by Tim Holtz (Worn lipstick, Picked Raspberry, Squeezed Lemonade) 
• Gold colored cardstock
• White cardstock
• Gold Embossing Powder
• Gold Sequin
• Ribbon 
• Corner metal dies

Instructions:

First you will start off by covering your card base with solid gold colored cardstock or paper.

To get the next layer prepared for heat embossing, apply antistatic powder to a piece of white cardstock. 

Add embossing ink to the stamp and stamp it on the white cardstock.

Sprinkle gold embossing powder on this stamped image until it is completely covered. With a heat tool, melt the embossing powder to reveal the roses background.

On a non-porous surface like a piece of plastic or glass, apply oxide inks from the stamp pads by "smashing" them on the surface. Spritz the ink with water. Next, take the embossed piece and "smash" it on to the wet inks. This will give your background a beautiful water colored look.

Since the stamp is shorter than the card base, cut the embossed piece in half.

                  

For measure, cut a piece of white cardstock a bit smaller than your card base. Remember to make sure the width is the same as the piece you embossed.

Glue these two pieces (the embossed piece cut in half) to this measured white cardstock making sure the embossed pieces reach both ends of the white cardstock. There will be a white gap left in between. Don't worry I have a solution for it.

Add a piece of wide gold ribbon to the middle of the card, wide enough to cover the gap. This will help bring out the gold in the card. On top of this gold ribbon, add a piece of pink or salmon colored ribbon. This will help the card bring out more of that pink color.

This piece is now ready to be glued on to the card base. Using liquid glue adhere it to the center of the gold covered card base.

Create a bow using the same salmon or pink ribbon you placed on top of the gold ribbon. Please see YouTube link Easy Bow Making on how I created this bow using a home made tool.

Add some liquid glue to the center of the two ribbons to glue the bow down.

Print or stamp your Happy Birthday sentiment on cardstock prepared the same way as the colored card base. 

With a metal die or a punch cut the sentiment out. Using liquid glue, glue it on to the middle of the bow. As if the tag was tied into the bow.

To add some sparkle to the card, glue sequin sporadically on to the card. 

Adding some Glossy Accents makes the sentiment shine and helps it stand out.

To finish the card, add corners to it. You can skip this step, although I think it helps give the card a more completed look.

That is all from me today... If you would like to view a YouTube tutorial I made of this card I invite you to click the link YouTube Quick Birthday Card .

 I would very much appreciate it if you would follow my channel. 

As always, I hope you get inspired, I hope you create and be happy.

Till next time -Ana

She Left Beauty Wherever She Went

Hello Gals,

For a dramatic and quick background add a watercolor drip over the top of a stamped background. It adds a subtle shadow-like layer. Last, use black ink to repeat the same design on top of the dried background. Go ahead have a play with this idea and be sure to share your creations on the Blank Page Muse Fan Page.

Directions:
1. Use black ink to stamp a female image and then color it in using a black marker to create a silhouette. Carefully cut around the image and set aside.

2. Use pink pigment ink to stamp a background of roses.  Stamp some extra roses to use as embellishments.

3. Stamp a sentiment with permanent black ink and set aside.

4. Next, spray the top edge of the background lightly with plain water and guide the drips to form a pleasing arrangement.  While the paper is still wet, apply the colored mists.  They will follow the guide of the wet paper and help to keep the drips evenly spaced. Continue to add color tilting the page to allow the mists to blend and flow.

5.  Use black pigment ink to stamp a variety of roses over the dried background, as well as, adding some directly onto the cardbase.  Round the corners and adhere the dripping background to the right side of the cardbase.

6. Adhere the sentiment and add the silhouette to the left side of the card using 3D foam tape and covering the seam.

7. Embellish the roses with glitter glue and add a random sprinkle of mini gems as the perfect finishing touch.
