Artist Trading Cards on Watercolor Paper

Hello! Great to see you back for another project using Blank Page Muse stamps.
For this month, I created ATC’s on watercolor paper.

Supplies –

Dear Beach sentiment stamp  

Correspondence Pens, Ink & Postage by Katy Leitch  

Background Grunge by Pam Bray  

Artist Trading Coins Scribbled Circles Information stamp  

Canson Watercolor paper

Distress Ink in your choice of colors

Ranger Archival ink Jet Black

Lumiere paint or any sparkly paint

Splatter brush and water

Twine

Spackling

Stencils of your choice

Paper dolls or printed images

Using a 9’ x 12” piece of watercolor paper, cut into ATC sized pieces of 2 ½” x 3 ½” then stencil with Distress ink using a sponge, then spritz with water to get a soft look to the ATC.

With the Archival ink and the Correspondence and Background Grunge stamps, lightly stamp over the ATCs for a light texture.

Lightly brush the Lumiere paint with a wet brush on areas of paint on the ATC then splatter with leftover paint.

Ink the edges with Archival ink or Distress Ink in your choice of color.

Stamp the back of the ATC with the Scribble Circles Information stamp.

Using a stencil and spackling, add some texture to the ATCs and when dry wrap twine around the bottom third of the card and tie in place adding some tacky glue to the knot.

Sort through your focal images and decide on which ones to use, ink the edges and glue down with tacky glue.

Add words from the Dear Beach sentiment stamp (I cut this stamp up to use the words in different ways). Attach words with foam tape for some dimension. Add other embellishments as desired and fill out the back of the ATC.

Flamingo Card

Hello BPM Fans!!

Today I would like to show you how I created a Flamingo card for the Under the Sea theme this month.  I was a bit out of my element for the projects this month and I am not a big ocean/sea fan. I like to sit in my pool in the summer, fewer animals in my pool and no sand to drag into the house later! I work a lot of hours and I like to have time to create and not spending all my time cleaning house!

Other supplies used - 

tissue paper

ink in 3 pink colors

black ink

markers

glue stick

stamp platform

foam tape

white embossing powder

Versamark ink

black cardstock

white watercolor paper

white card base

1. Using the different pink inks, stamp them randomly in a line on a piece of white tissue paper with stamps from the Background Grunge sheet and the Hearty Doodles sheet, then using the black ink, stamp the Open Weave Fishnet in a line on white tissue paper. I used the circles from the Background Grunge stamp and repeatedly stamped them over each other. I used the script stamps from the Correspondence Pens sheet and stamped it in a line on the white tissue paper. 

Quick tip - To tear the tissue paper, use a fine line brush with very little water and draw a line down the tissue paper, tear along this line to give you a nice torn edge.

2. Taking one of your stamped tissue pieces, glue it down about 2/3 from the edge of the black cardstock. Repeat with the other two layers. 

3. Using the stamp platform, stamp the Flamingo several times onto watercolor paper then color the flamingo with markers. I used several colors over each other to get the effect I was looking for on the feathers. Then fussy cut the flamingo and glue it over the layered tissue paper. 

4.  Next, using the Dear Beach sentiments the were cut apart, stamp in Versamark ink onto black cardstock and heat emboss with white embossing powder. then trim down to fit across the card front. 

This card could be used for any occasion!  Don’t forget to check out the stamps at Blank Page Muse.

Miss you card

Hello! We are back at Blank Page Muse with a new card - Miss you. I loved the black on kraft look and it was really quick and fast to create for those times when you need a card quick!

This card can be made with any number of colors, but the key is to work with only one color and black and white cardstock. This is called a monochrome color scheme. So let's get started and please share your cards on IG with the hashtag #BPMmonochrome

Supplies -
Blank Page Muse Stamps used -
Dear Beach
Bird Open Wings

Other supplies used -
coordinating colors of washi tape or pattern paper
black ink
kraft card and envelope
black embossing powder
Versamark ink
glue stick
stamp platform

1. Taking the coordinating colors of washi tape, position it about 1/3 from the folded edge of the card. Using the book page and pattern paper, tear the edges so that you have a worn look. On the text page, use the black ink to color the edge. The pattern paper will be a bit wider depending on where you place the washi tape.

2. When the washi tape, book page, and pattern paper are glued down, use another coordinated washi tape to layer over the pattern paper.

3. Using the Dear Beach stamp, I cut it into pieces and I can then use the words in multiple ways. It was a bit scary to cut it apart but when I was finished I have more words to use in other ways! I used the Miss you part of the stamp and the Bird Open Wings stamp, then using the Versamark ink they were stamped on kraft paper and embossed in black.

4. Fussy cut the bird out and then cut out the words and ink around the edges with black ink. Using foam tape, adhere to the back of the words and bird and affix to the card front.

Quick and easy card ready for any occasion! Check out all of the awesome stamps at Blank Page Muse!
