Love on the Wire Card

Hello, BPM Fans,
It's Karen here and I am saddened to say this will be my last project for the Blank Page Muse Design Team.  It has been a great blessing the last year & a half to work with such high quality stamps and fabulous images.  Here is my last card Love on the Wire. 

I created the background with layers of overlapping masking tape which adds a beautiful subtle wrinkly texture. The paints accentuate all the crevices and is a very effective way to create an distressed look. I hope you will try this simple technique to create a textured background because I'm sure you will love it too.

Directions:

1. Cut a piece of heavy card stock 5x7". Tear bits of masking tape into various 2-5" lengths and apply them irregularly to cover the entire sheet. Alternate the angle which you apply the tape and occasionally crunch the tape to purposefully cause it to wrinkle and thus create a subtle texture. Paint the masking tape covered card stock with white gesso and set aside to dry.

2. Protect your work surface to prepare for spraying mist. Apply tones of pink mist to the masking tape background. When thoroughly dry splatter bronze mist across the misted tape background. Set aside to dry.

3.  Stamp the urban scene onto white cardstock using black ink. Use an ink blending tool to lightly apply brown ink to tint the edges of the image to give it an aged appearance.

4.  Blend gold and pink ink to cover a chipboard heart.  Next, apply liquid adhesive randomly to parts of the design and then add glitter over the wet glue. Set aside to thoroughly dry.

5. Stamp three different sizes of swirly rose images with dusty rose ink. Lightly color them using an ink blending tool. Carefully cut out all the roses.

6. Stamp the music notes image randomly over the tape background using black ink to create distressed and imperfect images. Set aside to dry.

7.  Adhere the stamped urban scene to the upper part of the misted tape background using foam tape.

8. Use a black marker to emphasize the bird and attach the chipboard heart to the middle of the stamped urban scene.

9. Next, adhere clusters of roses in the upper left and lower right corner.

10. Carefully cut out some lace flowers and flourishes and add them to the rose clusters. Attach a small bit of lace peeking out from the behind the lower edge of the urban scene image.   Finally, embellish with a random scattering of gems and small hearts.

Vintage Kinetic Hot Air Balloon Card

I always find it a pleasant surprise to find a kinetic element on a card. My hot air balloon is free hanging and; therefore, can swing when the card is handled. Challenge yourself to add something a bit unexpected to your project like a hinged element, wiggly eyes, or a shaker filled with sequins. All this month, you will find more inspiration from the BPM Design Team about clever ways to add different types of  movement to your projects.

BPM Stamps:
Hot Air Balloon with Wooden Barrel Basket Rubber Stamp
Life is Not About Waiting For the Storm to Pass Sentiment
Steampunk Devil Collage Stamp

Directions
1.  Stamp the hot air balloon onto white card stock using black ink.

2. Next, stamp a balloon onto transparency using permanent ink and set aside to thoroughly dry.

 

3. Color the paper image using a sponge applicator.
(Time Saver TIP: The coloring does not need to stay within the lines since the image will be cut out.)

4.  Next, fussy cut to separate the balloon, people, and basket.

5. Reassemble the pieces of the hot air balloon over the transparent image and adhere with foam tape.  Use a white gel pen to add fine details to the hot air balloon.

6.  Take a craft card base and stamp along the edges with the clocks & newsprint design using blue ink. Lightly ink the edge of the card base with brown ink to give it an aged appearance.

7.  Stamp the sentiment with black ink onto the lower right corner of the cream cardstock. Then antique the edge of the paper by gently inking the edges of the sentiment with brown ink.  To give the card a kinetic element, attach twine to the top of the hot air balloon. Adhere the other end to the back of the stamped sentiment so the hot air balloon embellishment hangs freely.  Matte with maroon card stock. Attach the matted hot air balloon element to the middle of the card base.
