Joseph's Coat Technique Card

Hello, Blank Page Muse family! I'm Lori and I love stencils! They are so versatile! You can ink blend, use paste and gels, you can dry emboss with a die cutting machine. Also, you can do what I did today: I used clear embossing ink through my stencil to create a Joseph's Coat Technique. 

This technique involves trapping ink color under clear heat embossing then adding a dark ink all over. What your left with is a colorful design in high contrast to the background. Let me walk you through the process!

First, I took the new Fantasy Flourish stencil and placed it on top of a white piece of cardstock. You can tape everything down to your work surface to keep the stencil and cardstock in place. I used a grip mat.

I applied Distress Inks diagonally in a rainbow pattern. Then, I applied clear embossing ink on top of the Distress Ink.

This is the panel after I clear heat embossed. You could stop here, add a sentiment, attach to a card base and be done. But now, it's time for the magic!

Here is the panel after I applied dark navy ink to the entire panel. The embossed area resists the ink. Just wipe the ink off of your design and you have a dramatic panel, very different from the white background! Traditionally, you do this with black, but I chose dark navy. You can do this technique with any dark ink.

Finished card. I trimmed the panel down to 4 x 5 1/4", matted it with a yellow piece of cardstock, added a die-cut sentiment from my stash, and adhered it to a card base.

Baby Elephant!

 Hi BPM Fans!

Can you believe it's June already? this year is going so quickly!

It's Winter here "Down Under" so perfect weather for being indoors creating with my Blank Page Muse Stamps!

Our "theme" for the month is "Say It" - this makes me think of words - so today I have created a newborn card with the word "baby" and I think that says it all to explain the card purpose!

Supplies:

Blank Page Muse Stamp: Cute Baby Animals II Set - Baby Elephant

Blank Page Muse Stencil: Hearts Stencil designed by Magda Polakow

Stamped Pattern Paper: See my Post from March

Base Card

Black Ink Pad

Alphabet Die Cuts & Die Cutting Machine

Ink Pads & Sponge

General supplies: scissors, glue, coloring mediums, embellishments

Instructions:

Start by Stamping the little Baby Elephant onto white cardstock and color with your fav coloring mediums. Fussy cut.

Next step is to stencil your base card using the Hearts stencil. Use a sponge and colored ink pads to cover one corner of your card front.

Use your alphabet die cuts and scraps of patterned/stamped card to make the word "Baby".

Arrange your main stamped image with coordinating embellishments - fiber, hessian and adhere to the card front. 

Add your die cut letters and you have completed your card!

Such a perfect soft colored card for a newborn!

Thanks for joining me!

Happy Stamping!

Sharon

You are Made of Stardust Card

 Hi everyone! Tonya here this month with my take on the Azalea Creepy Cute Kid Art Rubber Stamp. I know this rubber stamp is suppose to be creepy but I thought wouldn't it be cute to turn the girl into a magical fairy. So lets get started.

Supplies

Blank Page Muse: Azalea Creepy Cute Kid Art Rubber Stamp

MISTI Stamping Tool

Various Plain and Patterned Cardstocks

Butterfly Printable 

Watercolor Paper 

Watercolor Paint Brush

Colored Pencils

Inks and Watercolors

Foam Pop Dots

Diecut Machine

Spellbinders: Wreath Diecuts

Momenta: Stars Diecuts

Stars and Clear Sequins

Metallic Thread

Paper Cutter

Scissors 

Beacon Adhesive: Zip Dry Adhesive

Placed the stamp onto the MISTI Stamping Tool, inking the stamp with a black waterproof ink and stamp onto a piece of watercolor paper.
I used an assortment of watercolors and inks to watercolor the girl image.
Use colored pencils to add highlights to the girl's face and clothing.

Fussy cut a butterfly and add clear glitter glue and let dry.

 I had wanted to use the whole butterfly but it didn't look right so I cut off the bottom half of the wings.

Adhear those to the backside of the girl.

I already had a 4 1/4"x4 7/8" card base folded in my stash so I cutout the Stars and placed a piece of patterned cardstock to go behind the stars diecut.
Adhere all to the front of the card base. 

Cut and matte the wreath diecut.
Next wrap with metallic thread around before gluing to the card base.
Place foam pop dots to the back of the girl, along with stars and clear sequins to finish off the card.

 There you have it!

Celebrate Today Card

Hi everyone! It's me, Tonya and I am here to share a quick and easy card I create using the Aster Creepy Cute Kid and Life is Short Rubber Stamps and leftover scraps from previous projects. 

I started by cutting and folding a piece of kraft cardstock, 4 1/4"x5" to create the base for the card. I layered and adhered scraps of patterned cardstock to the base. From my stash of diecuts I glued on top of each other added Foam Pop Dots to the back before placing on the card.

I printed from my computer the "celebrate today" sentiment. I cut out a banner, adhered the sentiment on top and added to the card.  I stamped the Aster Creepy Cute Kid and Life is Short Rubber Stamps onto a piece of watercolor paper. I watercolored, used colored pencils on the girl and fussy cut the girl out. I cut a party hat from a piece of scrap cardstock, adhered to the stamped image along with trim and a sequin to the hat. I also added googly eyes and mini gems to the eyes and the dress before adding foam pop dots and placing on the card.

I finished the card by gluing several thread bows to the underside of the diecut. As always if you have any questions about this project please let me know. If you aren't following Blank Page Muse on their social medias you can find them at the links below.

Dream BIG Art Journal Page

Hi everyone! It's me, Tonya and I am here to share my art journal page I created using the Clara and Dream Big Stamps, Heart Stencil and the feather stamp from the Flower and Bird Sketches Stamp Set.

I started by watering down blue ink, adding a wash of color to the page and letting dry.  I placed the Heart Stencil on top of the page and taped it down with washi tape to hold it in place. Next I inked up several Art Daubers in different shades of blue and inking over the stencil.

I placed the Clara stamp onto the MISTI Stamping Tool, inked and stamped onto a Watercolor Paper Rectangle Diecut.

I used an assortment of inks that I watered down to watercolor the stamped image and once dry I went back over it with Colored Pencils.

I stamped two feathers from the Flower and Bird Sketches Stamp Set, watercolored and once dry fussy cut both out. I cut a slit on both sides of the image, added a little adhesive and placed the stamped feathers into the slits. 

I adhered the Clara image to the journal page and I placed the "dream BIG" stamp onto the MISTI Stamping Tool and stamped onto the upper journal of the page.  

I finished off the page by adding washi tape under the sentiment and on the Clara diecut. Be sure to stop by Balnk Page Muse to pick up these stamps and stencils which can be found HERE. As always if you have questions about this project please let me know.

You are Blooming Marvelous Art Journal Pages

Hi everyone! Tonya here today and I am here to share my art journal pages that I created using the rubber stamps Mr G Whimsical Giraffe with Wings and Sentiment and the Arrows Stencil.

I added a light wash of Watercolors over both pages and once dry I placed the Arrows Stencil on top of both pages and inked with an Art Dauber.

I placed the sentiment from the Mr G Whimsical Giraffe with Wings and Sentiment onto the MISTI Stamp Tool and stamped the journal page. I fussy cut flowers out from patterned cardstock and from my stash I added the an leftover diecut over and around the stamped sentiment.

I stamped the giraffe onto a piece of Watercolor Paper and watercolored and fussy cut out. From my stash I stenciled a scalloped diecut before adhering to the page. I added more fussy cut flowers, vine diecuts and banners cut from cardstock along with the giraffe image to the page.

 I finished by adding sequins and googlie eyes to the giraffe and bits of washi tape to both pages.  As always if you have questions about this project please let me know.

A Patchwork of Love...and January's Challenge Winner!

Hi BPM Fans!!

We're already into another month for 2020! Can you believe it?

Our theme this month is using multiple stamps - hope you are going to play along with our challenge and show us how you can use lots of yummy rubber stamps on your creations! Use at least 3 real rubber or clear stamps, no digis.

I've made this romantic card - perfect for this Valentine's month! 

Remember way back when this was a technique for creating a card background with stamps? It's fun to play around with the "old" way of stamping haha - I always thought this was an effective way to create a background!

Hope you feel inspired to have a go!

Supplies:

Blank Page Muse Stamps: Love Potion #9, Small Book of Love, Love is a Burning Desire

White Card Base

Sticky Note Pad

Ink Pads & Sponge for adding Colour

Dark Coloured Ink Pad for Stamping

Instructions:

Use your sticky notes to create a "frame" in the middle of your card front as shown below in the picture.

Use your sponge or applicator and cover the exposed card with ink.

Using your choice of stamp and a dark ink pad stamp onto the coloured square.

Repeat the above steps over the rest of the card front changing your ink colours and stamps!

You will end up with a patchwork looking card front which is perfect on it's own or you can add a feature stamp to the front or even just a bold sentiment!

A main feature stamp was added to the card as an option to add more interest: Romance Classic Couples used for this card. Lots of possibilities for adapting your card to any occasion!

Thanks for joining me today - hope you will play along with our challenge this month - we can't wait to see what you create!

Christmas Planner Pages

Hi everyone! It's me Tonya! Tomorrow is the big day! Are you ready for Christmas? I am barely. 😉  But I did have time to work in my travelers notebook for this weeks before the pen planner pages using an assortments of stamps from Blank Page Muse.

I started by inking several of the Angel Art Classic Style Flourishes Stamps with green ink and stamping onto a piece of Watercolor Paper.

I cut numbers to corresponded with the days of the week for my pages using the Numbers Cut and Emboss Diecuts. I inked the edges of the numbers with a red ink and adhered to each page. I stamped the package from the Country Vintage Christmas Stamp Sheet by Pam Bray and the ornament from the Small Fancy Holiday Ornament Rubber Stamp onto watercolor paper, painted with different inks, fussy cut each out and adhered to each page.

The Santa is from the Steampunk'd Christmas Holiday Stamp Sheet I completed the same steps as I did for the present and ornament on the pages before. I used leftover scraps from the numbers to cut out holly and I added red flatback pearls to create berries. 

Also from my stash I added an ornament, Christmas sentiment to the page and a yellow glossy dot to the ornament that the Santa is holding. I added glitter glue to the Santa's hat and outfit.

The Saturday and Sunday pages I inked and stamped the Mini Mandala Snowflakes Art Rubber Stamps onto watercolor paper, punched out each with a circle punch, adhered to each day and added a tiny bit of glitter glue to the center of each snowflake. There you have it my planner pages before the pen. Be sure to hop on over to their website, which can be found HERE, and pick these stamps and supplies for your next project.
