Ink Smooshing Steampunk Card

Hello BPM Fans! Betty back with another Steampunk card. I love playing with Distress Inks and playing with different color combinations. My favorite technique to do using Distress Inks is ink smooshing, especially for making steampunk and vintage cards. Each time I ink smoosh, I get a different result. 

Today's card is one of my favorites since the ink smooshing is paired up with  one of my favorite large stamps from Blank Page Muse called Bingo Collage Art Rubber Stamp. This stamp fits perfectly on an A2 size card. 

I invite you to visit my blog for details on how to make this card. I have step-by-step instructions, including photos.

Steampunk Bird in a Cage tag

Today we are featuring guest designer, Peggy Oliver from Mixed Media Adventures.!

Hello! Peggy Oliver here, welcome, I want to share with you, my passion for mixed media stamps and Sin City Stamps delivers.

  Today I am guest appearing for Sin City Stamps by far one of my favorite stamp companies. 

I am making a cute birdcage tag steampunk style. 

Enjoy!

Supplies used today are: 

Sin City Stamps 

Bingo Collage Art Rubber Background Stamp

Wings

A ribbon spool (optional)

Black ink

Assorted embellishments 

Acetate  or clear packaging

Cardstock to fit the die.

Birdcage and bird die

Embossing machine

Aged looking paper

Double sided tape

Adhesive

Foam tape

1. Use the  double sided tape to adhere the unmounted red rubber background stamp to the  ribbon spool. 

2. Roll the stamp onto the black ink, then onto your paper. Repeat until all empty spots on the paper  are filled. Then crumple up the stamped paper, open it up and smooth it out, adhering it with adhesive to the cardstock.

Let this dry before running it through your embossing machine with the die.

3. Use your black ink to stamp the wings onto acetate and cut them out. 

4. Adhere the embellishments and chain with adhesive and foam tape.

This might just end up on around a nice bottle of wine as a gift.
