AALL & Create Garden Scene
Hello! We are focusing on AALL & Create products at Topflight Stamps! Flowers and butterflies from AALL & Create Gravel Script Ephemera are the stars of the stage on my card. The background was created with several Lavinia Dye Inks, swiped on a piece of watercolor cardstock, then liberally spritzed with water. The colors I used are: Della Blue, Bermuda, Green Parrot, Pixie Green and Olive. When the piece was dry, I sprayed Lindy's Stamp Gang Fairy Fluff over it to create a sparkly scene. The final touch is a sentiment from Lavinia Sentiment Stickers - Uplifting Collection.

AALL & Create Quirky Post Birds
Hello! We've got an Anything Goes week at Topflight Stamps! I had fun with AALL & Create Quirky Postage die set to create a backdrop for little bird postage stamps from PaperArtsy Scrapcosy ESC19 set. I used two shades of purple cardstock with the postage dies and stacked them, arranging in sort of a quilt style. The birds were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, trimmed and colored with alcohol markers. I layered some of the stamps with foam adhesive tape to pop them up.

Seashell by the Seashore
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.
Thanks so much for your visit today!
Below are the watercolor paper scraps I created with the PaperArtsy Infusions Dye in Sleight Blue. Aren't they beautiful as-is?

IndigoBlu Christmas Card
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.

Look Up with Lavinia
Hello! This week at Topflight Stamps, we're focusing on Lavinia stamps, stencils, inks and more. I knew I wanted to create a scene with the adorable Pipspell mouse. I gathered the Lavinia Moon, Christmas Tree Group and Pipspell, and stamped them all in Versafine Onyx Black ink. Then I inked up grass and sky using the following Lavinia Dye Inks: Della Blue, Graphite, Olive, Green Parrot and Violet Chalk. I used a yellow ink from my stash. Once the inks were dry, I splashed some water onto the card to create a magical touch. The sentiments from Lavinia Sentiment Stickers - Uplifting Collection were added at the end: "Look up and breathe..."
Thanks so much for joining me today!

Postal Collage
Hello all! We've got an "Anything Goes" week at Topflight Stamps. I had fun making a collage card with various elements from PaperArtsy stamps: Alison Bomber Rosehips Edition; Alison Bomber Violets Edition; Alison Bomber Blackthorn Edition; Alison Bomber Apple Blossom Edition and Scrapcosy 41. Each of these sets has a little postage stamp / postmark / small label, and I stamped each one on scrap paper and colored in with alcohol markers, then fussy cut. I set these aside to create my background. On watercolor paper cut to fit my card, I sprayed Lindy's Stamp Gang Buccaneer Bay Blue in a random way, then spritzed water to help the color move around. While that was drying, I tore a piece of kraft paper from a shopping bag into a smaller rectangle. I spritzed it with Lindy's Stamp Gang Gossamer Gold, and followed up with some sprays of water to move the color. Once that was dry, I assembled all of the little elements in the center of the kraft rectangle, and added some scraps of burlap in two corners.
The Lavinia Uplifting Collection Stickers have their spot(s) on here too. I used the white ones from the sticker set (they come in black and a neutral tone, too) and grunged them up with distress ink.
