Edgar Allan Poe Steampunk Easel Card

Two things I love are Steampunk and Edgar Allan Poe. Blank Page Muse actually has two different size Edgar Allan Poe stamps of the image I used on my card today. For my project I used the larger of the two. All the papers and printed images are from the digital printable papers, Steampunk Romance. What is great about using digital papers is sizing. You can manipulate the size of the papers and images with your computer.

Stamps from Blank Page Muse used on this card

Edgar Allan Poe
Correspondence Pens, Ink & Postage Art Rubber Stamp Sheet
Steampunk Watch Face Rubber Stamp

Other Supplies:

Distress Oxide Gathered Twigs Ink

Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink

Tissue paper

Wide tip black Sharpie

Dimensional foam and double-sided adhesive

Print the digital printable papers, Steampunk Romance. paper to the desired size and fussy cut the flowers. I made the flower 3 different sizes.

I stamped the pen nib image with VersaFine Black Onyx directly on the card mat base. Also, stamped the postage stamp randomly on the mat, each time I inked the stamp I would stamp off before stamping directly on the mat. I stamp the ink bottle and fussy cut.

On a another piece of the patten papers from the Steampunk Romance collection I stamped Edgar Allan Poe, then masked him off with tissue paper and then stamped the Steampunk Watch Face Rubber Stamp, behind his head.

I work on a big piece of tissue. the tissue image of the pen nibs I used on the card. I carefully torn them from the large sheet.

Before adhering the mat to the base of the easel, edge the card mat and the paper with the stamped image of Edgar Allan Poe with a wide tip black Sharpie or other acrylic pen. If you desire ink fussy cut edges with Distress Oxide Gathered Twigs Ink or similar color.

To assemble attach the paper with the stamped image of Edgar Allan Poe first. This will over lap the first five of the stamped images of the pen nibs. Adhere the first five tissue stamped pen nibs directly over the pen nibs stamped on the card mat.

Adhere the corner flower paper to the upper left of the card. For dimension add a large flower the same size over the flower. Tuck a smaller flower under the lower left of the large flower.

With dimensional foam attach the ink bottle and three additional flowers as pictured.

Add a strip of paper to the bottom of the inside with dimensional foam to create a stopper when opening the card. Add fussy cut flowers to the stopper.

Hope this inspires you to try the Blank Page Muse digital papers found HERE!

Steampunk Card

Hi everyone, Monique here with another Steampunk post, this time in a more traditional way :-)

If you ever want to make a masculine card, the steampunk theme always works. Well I think so anyway, the traditional steampunk colors will give the card a masculine look even if there are no machines, or men in top hats included. For this card I used brown in different shades. I didn't add a sentiment, because I like to have some cards ready to use for any occasion. As soon as I know where I need a card for, the sentiment is all I have to add and it is ready to send.

Steampunk Time of Weird Inventions

Hello everyone, Monique on the blog today, with an art journal page in steampunk style.

Most people think of brown, rusty colors when they think of steampunk, but in this post I would like to show that steampunk can have soft colors too.

The idea came when I saw the octopus stamp with the weird flying thing attached to it's head, wat is that called? Rotors maybe? Anyway, the idea of a sky filled with flying Octopuses
(I checked guys, octopuses is correct lol ) was so funny I decided to make a page in my art journal full of flying Octopuses.

To make the sky I used blues and purple distress inks, they came out like pastel colors but it is still steampunk. Everything is possible in a time of weird inventions, even flying Octopuses in a pastel sky.
