Dress Form Card

Hello Ladies,
Karen here and I'm bringing a card with a bit of vintage antique which is not my usual style. The muted colors and brown distressed edges are the trademark of the vintage look. The simple dress form suited the seamstress theme I had in mind. This sentiment is perfect to lend that extra bit of support to someone struggling with life's circumstances. Sometimes a simple act of encouragement can really lift someone's spirit. Don't forget to share your creations with us on the Blank Page Muse Fan Page.

Purple Artist Trading Coins

Hello all you Blank Page Muse fans. Cathy here with 3 more Artist Trading Coins. 

Don't know why I made 3 at a time but I do.They are just so fun to make!

 Can you believe tomorrow is the last day of August? 

Summer just went too fast for me!

Stamps Used:
Chicken mesh by Pam Bray
Corrugated heart by Pam Bray

Other Supplies:
100LB cardstock
Circle die
Black ink
Distress Oxide
Distress ink
Glue
Heat gun
White embossing power
Wiggle eyes
White cardstock
Copic Marker

Frist make the center of the Artist Trading Coin. Cut 2 circles from the 100LB cardstock. Glue the 2 circles together.

 Then take some purple colors of Distress Oxide and smooch them on the craft sheet. Then drag 3 different circles through it. Dry with heat gun or set aside to air dry.

 Start by stamping text with some Distress ink randomly on the background. Use the same color ink as the Distress Oxide so it blends into the background.
Next stamp chicken mesh randomly in black ink.

 Stamp flower on white cardstock and color center with Copic markers. Cut out and add to center of Coin. Edge Coin with black ink. Glue to one of the centers you made earlier.

 This one stamp the octopus with a top hat in the center with black ink. Glue it to one of the centers you made earlier.

Then you glue wiggle eyes to the octopus and edge with black ink. It is always fun to add some wiggle eyes.

 Last one. Stamp the text on the background with the Distress ink. Then stamp the heart in black ink in the center.

Then grab the ART word stamp and stamp and emboss in the middle of the heart. Edge with black ink. Glue it to the last center you cut out.

Last stamp the Artist Trading Coin back on pattern paper for all 3. Cut out and glue to all the 3 backs of Coins.

Indulge Your Imagination

Hi Everyone, Cathy N. here with a card to indulge your imagination!

Supplies:
Blank Page Muse Stamps

1. Chicken Wire Mesh
2. Old Style Key with Wings
3. Steampunk Airship Sail and Clocks
4. Steampunk Pocket Watch with Wings
5. Black and White cardstock
6. Acrylic paint- turquoise and silver.
7. Markers
8. Glitter pen
9. Washi tape
10. Black ink
11. Foam tape.

Paint your white cardstock with the turquoise paint.

Use a sponge to add some silver paint, making for a nice textured look.

I used this on my New years Eve party crown so if you think you saw it before, you did.

 I really like how the colors came out.

Cut this down to fit on a card size of your choice.

Apply some silver paint to the Chicken Wire Mesh  and stamp randomly onto the card.

Edge the sides of the card with the same silver paint.

Ink up the  Old Style Key with Wings with black ink and stamp onto the card as shown.

Stamp the Steampunk Airship Sail and Clocks onto white cardstock and cut out.

Color in the image with markers and add a little sparkle to the sail with the glitter pen.

 Accent the bottom of the card with your washi tape before matting the card onto the black cardstock.

I added wings to the ship by cutting off the wings from Steampunk Pocket Watch with Wings.  and adhered them with foam tape for dimension.

I finished the card with a stamped sentiment.
