Supplies From Topflight Stamps:  Flower Press by Tracy Evans for AALL & Create  |
Hello! It's "Anything Goes" this week at Topflight Stamps. This Woodware stamp set called Flying Birds made me think of spring, so that was my inspiration. With a piece of green lace as my grass, I created a scene with thistles, a flying bird, some postmark images, and a sentiment. All of these stamps are from the same set. I stamped the thistle twice with VersaFine Onyx Black ink, to create more of a cluster. They were colored and fussy cut and arranged in a staggered fashion. The bird was also colored and fussy cut and added to the "sky". Several clear sequins were the final touch.
Hello! This week at Topflight Stamps we are featuring a company from France called L'Encre et L'Image. I picked a sweet, sweet stamp set called The Long-Eared Family. This little bunny makes a perfect baby card. After I stamped her, colored and fussy-cut her, plus a little leafy branch, she needed a pretty place to sit. The background white brick image is from Craft Consortium Brick Textures paper pad, and the pale plum stitched rectangle was die-cut with Crealies Stitched Rectangle dies. A piece of lace from my stash helped give her a soft place to land.
Hello! This week at Topflight Stamps, we are focusing on a wonderful brand from the Netherlands called Studio Light. I chose a great set of sentiment stamps called Basic Wishes. On a white tag, I stamped "thank you" and "for being a friend" with VersaFine Onyx Black ink. You can mix and match sentiments with this set. I lightly inked the edges with brown ink, to give a vintage look. The Craft Consortium Vintage Emporium Paper Pad had the perfect page full of old letters and postcards to use as a backdrop. Finishing touches from my stash: a seam binding bow and tiny bit of lace.

Hello! This week at Topflight Stamps, we are focusing on Anything Goes! I have a Christmas card to share, to add to my stash. Using Crealies Stitched Rectangle dies, I created a frame for the PaperArtsy - Alison Bomber - Mini 96 stamp. As I stamped the Mini 96 with VersaFine Onyx Black ink, I had the old Christmas carol "The Holly and The Ivy" playing in my head (Bing Crosby in particular). So lovely!
After mounting the song lyrics on the red frame, I stamped some holly leaves and berries from Visible Image Christmas Robin on a scrap of white cardstock. I colored them and fussy cut them, and added to one corner of the lyrics, along with some die cut greenery from my stash.
