Blank Page Muse Steampunk Edgar Allan Poe

 My second project this month for Blank Page Muse.

Two things I love are Steampunk and Edgar Allan Poe. Blank Page Muse actually has two different size Edgar Allan Poe stamps of the image I used on my card today. For my project I used the larger of the two. All the papers and printed images are from the digital printable papers, Steampunk Romance.  What is great about using digital papers is sizing.  You can manipulate the size of the papers and images with your computer. 






Stamps from Blank Page Muse used on this card

Other Supplies:
Distress Oxide Gathered Twigs Ink
Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink
Tissue paper
Wide tip black Sharpie
Dimensional foam and double-sided adhesive


Print the digital printable papers, Steampunk Romance. paper to the desired size and fussy cut the flowers.  I made the flower 3 different sizes. 

I stamped the pen nib image with VersaFine Black Onyx directly on the card mat base. Also, stamped the postage stamp randomly on the mat, each time I inked the stamp I would stamp off before stamping directly on the mat. I stamp the ink bottle and fussy cut.



On a another piece of the patten papers from the Steampunk Romance collection I stamped Edgar Allan Poe, then masked him off with tissue paper and then stamped the Steampunk Watch Face Rubber Stamp, behind his head. 

I work on a big piece of tissue.  the tissue image of the pen nibs I used on the card. I carefully torn them from the large sheet.
Before adhering the mat to the base of the easel, edge the card mat and the paper with the stamped image of Edgar Allan Poe with a wide tip black Sharpie or other acrylic pen. If you desire ink fussy cut edges with Distress Oxide Gathered Twigs Ink or similar color. 



To assemble attach the paper with the stamped image of Edgar Allan Poe first. This will over lap the first five of the stamped images of the pen nibs. Adhere the first five tissue stamped pen nibs directly over the pen nibs stamped on the card mat. 
Adhere the corner flower paper to the upper left of the card. For dimension add a large flower the same size over the flower. Tuck a smaller flower under the lower left of the large flower. 


With dimensional foam attach the ink bottle and three additional flowers as pictured.  


Add a strip of paper to the bottom of the inside with dimensional foam to create a stopper when opening the card.  Add fussy cut flowers to the stopper. 

Hope this inspires you to try the Blank Page Muse digital papers found HERE!

Blank Page Muse Fall Sunflower

This is my first September project for Blank Page Muse   Sunflowers remind me of Fall. They are also one of my favorite flowers. Today the centerpiece of my card is the Sunflower and Dragonflies Art Stencil.

In addition to the Sunflower and Dragonflies Art Stencil The Eyes 1 Stamp, Learn from Yesterday sentiment and the Steampunk Romance: Digital Printable Papers were used!


Additional supplies used:

  • Black Stamping ink
  • Acrylic block
  • Gold Wide tip Sharpie
  • Cosmic Shimmer Graceful Mustard Glitter paste
  • Lunar Paste Refined Copper
  • Astro Paste Tropical Tango
  • TCW Stencil Butter Olive (not pictured below)
  • Spatula
  • Water
  • Paper towels
  • Glass Dip pen and ink
  • Deco Foil scrap
  • Watercolor paper
  • Paper Scraps
  • Adhesive/dimensional foam/glue stick

Have you ever spent time glue paper scraps, it is one of my favorite pastimes.  I use a watercolor paper pad to glue the scraps.  It is very relaxing, and it doesn't have to be perfect! The paper this project is on is one of my "glue book" pages. 





Print the Steampunk Romance: Digital Printable Papers two sheets per page.  This way you are able to shrink the size of the printed images. The eye image and sentiment were stamped on a couple of the papers.  


On the watercolor "glue page" stencil the Sunflower and Dragonflies.  The petals are Cosmic Shimmer Graceful Mustard Glitter paste.  The sunflower center is Lunar Paste Refined Copper and the dragonflies Astro Paste Tropical Tango. Let each area dry before adding the next color. 


Once the pastes were dry, it was time to add black ink with the glass pen.


You can see that the sunflower petals are outlined with the black ink.  In the first picture above the outline was a single pen line.  For the flower to really standout. a second pass was made with the glass pen, see the second photo above. All the gaps left by the stencil are filled in with the black ink.  


The stamped eyes and sentiment are outlined with the glass pen.  You can barely see the glass pen in the picture above.  Then let everything dry before foiling and assembly. 


Cut the paper to size, this is a 6 x 6 card. Edge the card front with a wide tip gold sharpie pen.  To randomly apply the foil, gently swipe a glue stick and press the foil on it.  Be sure not to apply too much glue stick or you want it to be splotchy and like peeled paint. 

Mount the card front on a 6x6 card base. The stamped sentiment and eyes were adhered to the card with dimensional foam.


Hope to see your Blank Page Muse creative works on our Facebook Fan Page. It is always a pleasure to see what everyone is working on.
