Topflight Stamps - Where did the Sun go?

Hi Everyone,

This week's theme on the Topflight blog is anything goes. My favorite theme! I used a fun stamp from Crafty Individuals - one of my favorite British stamp companies. I love their whimsical stamps. and this one is perfect for winter. It's appropriately titled Where did the Sun go?

I smooshed the background with distress inks. I stamped the birds on it. I stamped the birds again onto a piece of scrap paper and colored them with alcohol ink markers. Cut them out. I heat embossed some snowflakes onto the background. Left it without a sentiment - I don't think it needs one.

I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting.

See you next week with more Topflight Stamps inspiration.

But wait - we have a great sale going on right now:

And here are the stamp supplies I used:

Where did the Sun go, Christmas Snowflakes - KTZ282

Addicted to Stamps and More #134 and Spotlight Sneak Peek

Hi Everyone, Its challenge time at ATSM ! For the next two week its going to be CAS - just my thing! And hopefully yours, too! I made a birthday card, because for some reason I always need more and never seem to have enough.... I was inspired by this weeks Make it Monday , where the talented Ashley Newell shows us a video about stamps and doodling. Since I mainly own die cuts from Papertrey and not so many stamps that would fit this theme I made my own out of fun foam, using my latest Papertrey dies (just got the order a few days ago) and cut those in fun foam - it works so well - voila - you have our own stamps, spending only a fraction of the money! I doodled around the stamps as you can see. Gives you kind of a cool effect....a little more tremor and one would think I drank too much ;) Added tiny enamel dots - do you know about this month House of Cards challenge - its enamel dots - thought I'll let you know..... Our wonderful spons...

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes.... Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it. And here is a close -up: Challenges: Dynamic Duos CAS Colours and Sketches Addicted to Stamps and More Amusing Challenges Materials: Papertrey Background Basics: Super Stripes, Memory Box Chloe Stem die. --X-- Card for Maddy: You may know already about Maddy , who was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and went through chemotherapy treatment followed by a stem cell transplant from her (then) fiftee...
