StazOn Travel Scrapbook Page
By: Gretchen Smith

Materials: StazOn Blazing Red, Mustard, Pumpkin, and Jet Black Tsukineko Sponge Dauber 1- 12” x 12” sheet of navy blue, light orange, and dark orange 2 pieces of gold foil sheets 1 Copper Sheet Fibers Stamps: Explore (Wordsworth), Compass (Rubber Soul), Two Roads (PSX)

Instructions: Tear your light orange and dark orange cardstock in uneven strips about 2-3 inches high and 12 inches long.   Crumple up one sheet of your gold foil sheet and then smooth it out. Using circular strokes with Tsukineko Sponge Dauber, apply Blazing Red, Mustard and Pumpkin all over the gold foil piece. With a sponge dauber, blend the colors together while they are still wet. You can layer the colors or add more of one until you get the desired effect.   Using your scissors cut a wavy strip about 2 inches high and 12 inches long out of the gold foil.   Cut two 2 inch by 4 inch rectangles out of your copper sheet. Cut a 3-inch by 4-inch rectangle out of the copper sheet as well.   Using your Blazing Red, Mustard, and Pumpkin, directly apply small amounts of the ink to the copper rectangles to “tarnish” them. Take the Jet Black StazOn pad and rub it along the sides of the rectangles to give them an even more weathered look.   After the ink has dried, stamp the “Explore” and “Two roads…” stamp with the Jet Black on the two smaller rectangles. Stamp the compass on the larger one.   On the “Explore” rectangle, punch two holes on either side of the word. Take three or four strands of fiber and string them through the rectangle.   To start to assemble your page, glue your dark orange strip down first on the upper third of your navy blue paper, then your light orange strip, and finally your gold foil strip.   Using a double stick tape, stick the “Explore” rectangle down on top of the gold foil and wrap the loose fiber ends around the sides of the navy paper, securing them with tape on the back of the cardstock.   Leaving about 1/8th of an inch border, mat the “Compass” and “Two Roads” rectangles with the light orange cardstock.   Mat your photos with the inked gold foil and the light orange cardstock, leaving 1/8th of an inch border for both.
