"Steampunk is Victorian Science Fiction"

Hi BPM Fans

How are you all enjoying this month of Steampunk inspiration?
I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but I really love the concept and the fab images that are around!

For my creation today I've gone more "traditional" steampunk as opposed to my post earlier this month with the Creepy Cute Kids turned into Steampunk characters!
I've created a large tag which could also be used as a bookmark!

Hope you can play along and link up your Steampunk creations to our current challenge!

I love this quote by G.D. Falksen:

"Steampunk is Victorian Science Fiction"

Supplies:

Blank Page Muse Stamps: Vintage Steampunk Gentleman with Wings
Blank Page Muse Stamps: Steampunk Circus Set 

Plain Kraft Tag
Kraft Card
Chalk Paints
Black Ink Pad
Embellishments
General supplies: scissors, glue, double sided tape, spatula

Instructions:

Stamp your main steampunk image and sentiment onto kraft card and fussy cut.

Use your spatula and chalk paints and swipe over tag. Allow to dry.

Use stamps from the Circus Set and stamp directly onto tag background with black ink.

Arrange main stamped images and any embellishments onto tag and adhere. Add some string or fibres to the tag top. This technique works for cards, ATC's etc so have fun!

Thanks for joining me today!

And remember there is still time to play along with our challenge this month!

Happy Steamy Stamping!

Vintage Couple on a Steampunk Stroll

Greetings, Chris here and today I am excited to share this art-sy page I created to play with this month's Steampunk challenge at Blank Page Muse. My vision was to imitate  a romantic looking "art" piece except using steampunk images, all while playing with my new watercolor markers. 

This project features

Blank Page Muse Up Up and Away Steampunk Airships Balloons Wings Art Rubber Stamp Set

Blank Page Muse Octopus Time! Steampunk Art Rubber Stamp Set

Blank Page Muse Vintage Steampunk Gentleman with Wings Line Art Rubber Stamp

Blank Page Muse Zebra towing an Airship Steampunk Art Rubber Stamp

Other supplies need to re-create this project:

Mixed media paper, card stock, alcohol markers, water brush, archival ink

• Stamp images onto mixed media paper with archival ink.
  I chose mixed media paper (instead of watercolor papers) for this project because the images have fine detail that tends to get muddied when stamping on textured watercolor paper. 
• When stamping the Blank Page Muse Zebra towing an Airship Steampunk Art Rubber Stamp,    I masked off the zebra because I wasn't sure where my horizon line was going to end up. 

• Using watercolor markers, draw in your "lane".  I did end up expanding my lane to the horizon. 

• Draw in hills and add ink to grassy areas. Blend with a water brush. 

• You can see the blended finished look.  

• Color in your couple as desired. 

• Color in and blend you sky and flying vehicles.
  Add dots of red ink and soften by dabbing with a waterbrush to imitate the look of field of flowers. 

I hope you are inspired to get creative with you stamps!

More Wings Please

Hello Blank Page Muse fans.  Gail here today with my second post for February.  For my first post this month I added wings to an image.  For this one I am taking them away LOL.  Well, he gets to keep one, but it ends up looking more like a fancy collar.  I had an idea this could be a sympathy sort of card with the thoughtful bloke, be brave sentiment and time flying image.  What do you think??  Might work if your bereaved is arty!

Blank Page Muse Stamps Used:

Vintage Steampunk Gentleman with Wings

Steampunk Pocket Watch with Wings

Be Brave

Other Materials:

Black card base

Prima Patterned Paper

That's Crafty Random Ovals stencil

Stamplorations Stitch Rectangle dies

Gold embossing powder

Promarkers

Distress inks

Black Archival

I started by cutting a panel of Prima patterned paper with the large stitch rectangle die and blending Pumice Stone distress ink through That's Crafty Random Ovals stencil. 

I stamped Steampunk Pocket Watch with Wings all over the panel using Frayed Burlap distress ink.  

I cut the panel again with the medium stitched rectangle die and used a black Promarker to edge both pieces.

I stamped Vintage Steampunk Gentleman with Wings on white card using black archival, coloured with Promarkers and fussy cut the bloke without his wings.  

I stamped the Steampunk Pocket Watch with Wings on white card, embossed with gold embossing powder and fussy cut.

I decided I liked the wings after all and even ended up stamping a second pair!!  I fussy cut the wings and arranged them and my other images on the panels.  I stamped the sentiment, fussy cut and added a black mat before adding it to the card. Be Brave!  He's lost in thought and time is flying, like it has a tendency to do.....

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