Eggs for Easter Egg Swap!

 I participated in an Easter Egg Swap in a group on Facebook Mixed Media Art Swaps.

These are the eggs I made. They are made from plastic eggs decoupaged with napkins, then covered with diamond dust. The pearls are colored with alcohol inks.  The egg sits in a portion of an egg carton painted green. 

These are the eggs I received in the swap:

Master Board with Blank Page Muse Stamps

Today I have created a Master Board with Blank Page Muse. Ready to use as a base for cards or any other project you desire. This particular Master Board has been created to use with my Alice in Wonderland stamps. 

For this project I used:

Alice in Wonderland Characters Set 1 Art Rubber Stamps SC5 Diamond and Heart

Alice in Wonderland Characters Rubber Stamp Sheet Set 2 SC51 (blankpagemuse.com) Spade and Club

Steampunk Watch Face Rubber Stamp 

Vintage Key Hole Back Plate Art Rubber Stamp Sc0076-04

Set of 3 Vintage Style Skeleton Keys Steampunk Art Rubber Stamps SC0076-07

Other Supplies:

• 12 x 12 smooth card stock
• VeraMark
• Clear Embossing Powder
• Dry paint brush
• Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink Scorched Timber 
• Blending brush
• Water Spritzer
• Paper Towels

Randomly stamp images with VersaMark, apply clear embossing powder remove excess embossing powder, use a dry paint brush if there are areas with excess that will not shake off. Heat set embossing powder with heat tool.  Carefully stamp one image at a time, add the embossing powder and heat set, then repeat with another stamp.  It is easier to see where you have previously stamped, then go back and fill in areas that may need additional stamping.  It is ok to stamp off the edge of the paper!

With blending tool apply Tim Holtz Distress Oxide ink - Scorched Timber.  

After inking is completed, gently wipe the embossed images with a paper towel, lifting the ink off.

I like using Tim Holtz Distress Oxides as they are water reactive. To give the master board more texture spritz with water and gently dab with a paper towel to lift excess water.

The Master Board is ready to use for cards or whatever project you desire.

Blank Page Muse Steampunk Romance Digi Book

Today I have created a mini book using Blank Page Muse Steampunk Romantic Digital Paper created by Pam Bray.  

What I used:

• Blank Page Muse Steampunk Romance Digital Paper
• Eileen Hull Tiny Book Die 
• Thermal Cinch & Glue
• Gold Sharpie
• Lace 
• Charms

When printing the papers be sure to print on both sides.  Pay attention to the orientation of the paper on the first side when printing the second side. 

Cut papers 3 x 2 1/8 inches for the pages in the book.  Some papers could be wider and scored at 2 1/8 inches to create a fold out.  

Arrange the papers in the order you would like them in the book, again paying attention to the orientation the paper. 

Prepare the book for binding.

Follow the instructions on the Thermal Cinch and glue the papers together. 

Cover the tiny die book cover with paper from the Steampunk Romance collection.

Adhere a fussy cut image on the front of the book. Add lace or other material along the spine. 

There is plenty to fussy cut in the collection!
