Topflight Stamps - Funky Insect Birthday

Hi Everyone,

Of course I had to have this funky insect set from Elena Zinski art, available through PaperArtsy at Topflight Stamps. They are just so quirky and cute!


I used an ancient embossing plate (Papertrey) for my background. I die cut some irregular shapes and frames and stamped the insects. i colored them with water brush pens. I used this very versatile birthday sentiment strip from Darkroom Door Stamps for the sentiments. I just inked up the whole strip with Versamark and heat embossed it in white. Cut it in parts and used what fit.


Here are the stamp supplies I used:
