Beach Dreams

Hello.  Gail here today.
March already!  Hope you are getting some Spring vibes. 
 This guy is still deep in winter, but dreams of the summer.  
Lazy days on the beach.  Sun, sea and sand. Roll on warm weather, roll on!!!!

Inks; Stormy Sky, Mustard Seed, Salty Ocean, Broken China, 
         and Cracked Sapphire Distress ink
         Dare 2 B Artzy Midnight Blue Dye Ink
         Brilliance Starlight Silver
         VersaMark
         Black Archival
Crafty Individuals Miniatures 'People and Places 2'
Grey Wood patterned paper
White card

Start by stamping the boy from the Penguins On Ice Winter Holiday Rubber Stamp Sheet on the grey woodgrain paper and fussy cut.  

Colour the image with Mustard Seed and Stormy Sky distress inks.

Smear three shades of blue distress inks onto some white card and spritz with water.

Use the small cluster of snowflake stamps from the Penguins On Ice Sheet.  These look a bit steampunk with that cog thing going on. Stamp them randomly on the distress inked background using Dare 2 B Artzy Midnight Blue dye ink.

Then use silver ink with the same stamps.

Use a die to cut a 3 x 4" journal card from the background and ink the edges with the Midnight Blue ink.  Smear some VersaMark on the bottom of the journal card and use Baked Texture Embossing Powder Dirty Sand to make a little beach.

Add the boy and place a beach picture in his hand.  
This is a printed image from a pad of images from Crafty Individuals called 'People and Places 2'.  I cut it down and added a black mat behind to frame it.

Thanks for dropping by.  I hope you feel inspired to stamp something pretty today.  Hugz

Baked Texture Video

Hi Everyone,

We have recently started doing Facebook Live videos in our Blank Page Muse Fan Group Page.  

We have been sharing techniques and new products. 

 In this video I will show you how to make a card using

 the Correspondence Stamp Set and Seth Apter's Baked Texture Embossing Powders.

There are some fun layering techniques in the video and you get to hear how nervous I was since I had never done a video before! 

Come on over to the Facebook Group and see what we are sharing.  

You will also be able to see videos like this as they happen and chat with us.

Steampunk Baby Doll Tag

Hey, everyone! I'm so excited to show you this tag I created using a variety of stamps, including one from my new Soulful Dolls collection (and my prop is the baby doll used for the stamp!).

Supplies:

Blank Page Muse: Baby Doll Line Art Rubber Stamp
Blank Page Muse:  I Can Go From Normal To Insane...Word Phrase Rubber Stamp
Blank Page Muse:  Old Style Key with Wings Art Rubber Stamp
Blank Page Muse:  Steampunk Definition Phrase Rubber Stamp
Blank Page Muse:  Seth Apter Chunky Rust Embossing Powder
Blank Page Muse:  Seth Apter Vintage Beeswax Embossing Powder
Black/brown distress ink
Embossing pad
Various metallic/black embossing powder
Scrap dictionary paper
Scrap steampunk-theme paper
Chipboard key/cog
Mesh
Safety pins/metal doo-dad
Screw head brads
E6000/matte gel
Rusty wire/hemp rope
Blank tag

Start by cutting your dictionary paper to fit your tag; adhere and distress with ink.

Ink up the steampunk definition stamp with your embossing pad and stamp; emboss with a metallic powder. Do the same with the key stamp. Getting some stray powder in areas is a plus if it happens! 

Ink up the baby doll stamp with your embossing pad and stamp onto a piece of steampunk-themed paper; emboss with a metallic powder and cut out.  Emboss your chipboard key with a metallic powder and distress with ink.

On the backside of a different piece of steampunk paper, draw a hat for your baby doll. Cut it out and emboss the brim with black powder.

Start laying out how you want your doll to look. Emboss your chipboard cog with Seth's Chunky Rust powder.

Rub your embossing pad on various areas of your tag and emboss with Seth's Vintage Beeswax powder.

On the back of a scrap piece of paper, stamp the normal to insane stamp and cut out. Emboss over it with Vintage Beeswax and distress with ink.

Add a strip of mesh at the bottom and poke holes in the corners for your brads.

Now start putting everything together! Glue down your baby doll with its embellishments with E6000 - I recommend it since I found a glue gun has a hard time adhering on top of the embossing. Add some wire and hemp through the hole for a hanger.

Seth's embossing powders really add a cool affect.

Such a fun tag to make with layers and textures galore! Blank Page Muse Stamps has a wide range of stamps and Seth's incredible embossing powders!
