Embark on a Travel Adventure

Hello all the Blank Page Muse stamp Fans. We are at the end of July already. Can you believe that? I hope you all are having a great and fun Summer. Here is a Sunset colored postcard I made.
Can't you just see these colors on a hot Summer night as the sun is setting?

 Stamps Used:
Mountains & Beaches set

Other Supplies:
Watercolor paper
Nuance Powers
Cloud stencil
White Paint
Black ink
Washi Tape
Word stickers
Marker
Heat Gun

Start off with a 4x6 watercolor paper. Wet the paper and then add your colors of Nuance watercolor powers to it. Make it look like a hot sunset. Use red, orange and yellow . Use a heat gun to dry the watercolor postcard. You can let it air dry if you got the time for that.( not me)

 Next grab a cloud stencil and some white paint. Make some clouds on the top of the postcard. Let dry.

 At the bottom of the postcard, stamp the mountain . You have to stamp it 2 times because it does not fit all away across the bottom of the postcard.

 At the right side stamp the palm tree from the same stamp set. Then add some washi tape.

Stick a strip of washi tape on the left side to balance the finished piece.

Lastly, add swords to create your saying. 

Take a fine tip marker and trace around the words to make them stand out.

Now, come join all the fun!

The Golden Days of Travel

Hi Blank Page Fans,

Jess here today.  

Remember when people used to get dressed up to go on vacation? You never used to see people on airplanes in pajamas and yoga pants.  I can't imagine these ladies not looking put together.  I pictured them shopping in Paris and sending a postcard to a friend back home.  

Here are the supplies you need to gather to create your own postcard.

Stamps used:

Dress Form Stamps

Pen Nibs

Postmarks

Script

Typewriter Keyboard

Travel Stamp

Adventure Stamp

Butterfly

Other Supplies:

Jet Black Archival Ink

Archival Ink in Coffee and Hydrangea

Distress Collage Medium

Distress Markers

Distress Collage Paper

Distress Ink

Cardstock

Stabilo Pencil

Clear Gesso

Let's get started!

Stamp out your main images across the postcard using Jet Black Archival ink.

Create masks, using post it notes, and stamp all over to fill in white space. 

Once you have finished stamping your background use Distress Collage Medium to apply Distress Collage Paper to various areas of the postcard. 

Add your paperdoll and color in the dresses using Distress Markers(to make sure the ink stays on the image coat your paper doll in clear gesso).   Add Distress Ink to the edges to make the postcard appear to be vintage.  Use your Stabilo pencil to add shadows around the paper doll and around the edges of the collage paper.  

Turn your postcard over and add the Script and postmark stamp to the back.  Use Distress Ink to age the paper.  Color in the postmark using Distress Ink. 

Just like that your card is complete.  

Here are a few more glamour shots.

It was really fun to see how many stamps I could add to the collage feel of the card.  I haven't done a masking technique in a long time and it was fun to play around with it again.  

I hope you feel inspired to play with your stamps too.
