Rainbow Colored Mushrooms

Hello! Welcome back to the BPM blog. So glad you are here. I got my inspiration from today's card from a washi tape. I love the colors of the mushrooms that I thought of re-creating it.

 

I am using the following Blank Page Muse stencils:

• Cute Mushrooms Stencil
  
• Clouds & Drops 5x5" Mixed Media Stencil
  
• Assorted colored ink pads
• Ink daubers - for blending

The mushroom stencil is my most used BPM product to date. I just can't stop coming up with ways of using it!

Simply choose the colors that you want your mushrooms to be, (I went for a rainbow of colors for my mushrooms), then place the stencil over a white 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" cardstock. 

Mask off the mushrooms, leaving only the caps to be colored. Use your daubers to add and blend your colors. When all the caps are colored in, then mask them off and repeat the process with the stems. 

Feel free to add a dot of white enamel with a stylus to the mushrooms caps for some fun detail.
 

You can cut this into a strip to mimic a washi tape. But I decided to create a scene on this panel for a note card.

I hope you like today's project. Please visit my blog, Maria Giselle's Creative Cuts, for more details.

Doodling with Stencil to Create Faux Wax Seals with a Bonus Card

Hello! Welcome back to the BPM blog. I am so glad you are here. Today's project features one of the many creative ways in using a stencil. I hope you like it.

Aside from mushrooms, I noticed the emergence of wax seals in the crafting world. I have eyes on the tools and supplies needed to create wax seals but decided to go with the non-conventional way of creating it since I am not sure how committed I will be with this craft. I settled with the alternative way of creating wax seals with the use of a die and an embossing powder.

The stencil I am using is the Blank Page Muse Cute Mushrooms Stencil. I traced the mushrooms using gold glitter gel pens with various tips. I added details to the mushrooms with dots and lines.

I die cut the doodled mushrooms with a wax seal die set. I adhered the layers together. I added ultra thick clear embossing powder to the layered wax seal die cut to add shine.

These fax wax seals can be adhered to the back of the envelope with any type of glue. It can also be used to embellish a card.

I had a lot of left over circle die cuts  from die cutting the layers of the wax seal. Instead of putting these circles inside my bin of circle die cuts, I created a matching card for the wax seals. 

I used the same technique of tracing the mushrooms on the stencil and doodling on it for details. I used one of the stamps from the Scribble & Scratch Mixed Media Set 2 to add a subtle background design to the card base. 

I love it when I end up with a 2-for-1 project!

Make Ephemera from a Stencil

This month's theme at Blank Page Muse/I Brake for Stamps (BPM/IBFS) is "Stencil It" which means using a stencil in our project. I love using stencils for making backgrounds and scenes, but did you know you can also make ephemera (also called embellishments and die cuts)?  For today's card, I am using the adorable gnome stamp from BPM/IBFS called PJ Love Gnome designed by Pam Bray, the Cute Mushrooms Stencil designed by Donna Gray, and the Clouds and Drops 5x5 inch Mixed Media Stencil. I made the ephemera with the mushrooms stencil. So fun and easy to do. 

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

Please go to my blog for the step-by-step instructions on how to make this card.  Betty's Blog
