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.
Hello! This week at Topflight Stamps, we're focusing on a sweet brand called Chou & Flowers. I used Lemon Flower, which has a filigree frame and lemon flowers and leaves. I stamped the flowers with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, fussy cut and colored those, and set aside. I stamped the frame with embossing ink, sprinkled on WOW! Embossing Powder in Silver Smudge and used a heat tool to set it, and trimmed it. On my white cardstock background, I sprayed Lavinia Spring Moss, spritzed with a little water, and set aside to dry. Once dry, I used Darkroom Door Small Stencil "Crackle" and Studio Light Stencil Paste in Gold (Silver featured here) to create some shimmery interest along the bottom half of card. The Chou & Flowers frame and lemon flowers were glued on top, and little pearls from Hunkydory were added to the flower centers.
