Hello! This week at Topflight Stamps our theme is Beach / Ocean! I used several items to create a moody ocean themed card. On a couple of pieces of watercolor paper scraps, I sprinkled PaperArtsy Infusions Dye Sleight Blue powder then spritzed with water liberally. Once dry, I used Studio Light Scenery Borders Waves die set to cut out some waves. I set those aside and used the PaperArtsy Sara Naumann Mini 118 seashell stamp to create a focal point on ivory cardstock, stamped with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink. On the card base, I used a PaperArtsy Alison Bomber Summer Edition sentiment stamp and Lavinia Dye Ink Soft Cygnet, stamped repeatedly across the background. Final touches were some enamel dots from my stash, and Hunkydory Classic Pearls.

Below are the watercolor paper scraps I created with the PaperArtsy Infusions Dye in Sleight Blue. Aren't they beautiful as-is?

Hello! At Topflight Stamps this week our focus is on the brand, IndigoBlu! I used their Christmas Dictionary stamp - fabulous background. Love the old font. I stamped it in VersaFine Onyx Black on a neutral colored panel, and layered this panel on a red card base. The focal point is a trio of holly leaf postage stamps from AALL & Create's Carols and Cancellations, carefully trimmed and colored with alcohol markers. I created garlands with PaperArtsy Alison Bomber Mini 92 stamp, which features sprigs of mistletoe. I trimmed out the mistletoe from four stamped images, then touched them with various shades of brown inks and added a touch of glimmer from Lindy's Stamp Gang Pixie Dust.
