Stempel Spass

Hi Everyone, This week's theme is "Red and Pink" on the  Topflight blog .  I guess it's because we are close to Valentine's Day. I first was hesitant about the color combination and it took me a while to come up with something, but I am quite happy with the result! I used this pretty flower from Crafty Individuals and colored it in red and pink shades. Did some light brushing with distress ink (Kitsch Flamingo) in the back of the flower. I added the stamp  Abstract 04  onto the side. Added the heat embossed sentiments with foam tape. I also added a bunch of gems for some sparkle.. I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting.  See you next week with more  Topflight Stamps  inspiration. And here are the stamp supplies I used:  Flower CI560 , Abstract 04 Happy Birthday ,   Blender Brushes Foam tape , Glitter Gems   (not exactly what I used, but it would work) Linking up with: Simon Says Wednesday challenge  - Traumfabrik  - Sa...

   Hi Everyone, This week's theme is anything goes on the  Topflight blog .  I discovered that Crafty Individuals has a challenge on Facebook and of course I have to play along. The theme is bright colors - no problem! I used two cat sets from them (see below), stamped them on scrap paper, colored them with alcohol ink markers and cut them out. Arranged them on a piece of maroon card stock and added a sticker sentiment. . I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting.  See you next week with more  Topflight Stamps  inspiration.

  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.

Hi Everyone, I wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays, whatever you prefer. And I have a last Christmas card for you. I made the backgrounds with trees form Winter Wonderland - stamped them in grey and black. I took a generic tag die, water color paper and stamped the Christmas Tree stamp on it with Lavinia Elements ink. I then sprayed it with Lavinia Mystical Mica spray and let it dry. Stamped and colored the cat and cut it out. I used some gold threaded twine for the top of the tag. Assembled everything and added some Stickles to the cat and enamel accents to the tree. I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting.  See you next week with more  Topflight Stamps  inspiration.

 Hi Everyone, This week's theme on the  Topflight blog  is all about Crafty Individuals  - one of my favorite British stamp companies. I love their whimsical stamps. I started out with a gel press background from my stash. Stamped the car onto card stock and colored it with alcohol inks. Cut it out and added it to my background. Added lots of white splatter for snow and added a bit more "snow" to the car and parcels. i also added some Stickles to the parcel ribbons. you just can't go wrong with some glitter.... I trimmed the card and mounted it onto a white card base. No sentiment - I actually forgot... I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting.  See you next week with more  Topflight Stamps  inspiration.

  Hi Everyone, This week we are focusing on Crafty Individuals stamps on the  Topflight blog .  I am already in Halloween mood.....  I first stamped the raven, then the crow on top of it, but only inked up the cross. I used a stamp positioner to get it right. Lastly I stamped the moon. Did a bit of masking the crow, to not get some yellow into it, when I brushed the moon. I brushed the background (also masked the head of the raven). I colored the crow and raven with Prismacolor pencils.  Added white accents and white splatters.   I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting.  See you next week with more  Topflight Stamps  inspiration.
