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..."

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.

Framed Lemon Flowers - Chou & Flowers
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.

Chou & Flowers Postcard
Hello all! We've got an Anything Goes week at Topflight Stamps! I was inspired by the vintage vibes of a few Chou & Flowers stamp sets: Brittany Text, Envelopes and Postmark Background. I stamped the Envelopes, Brittany Text and Postmark Background in Versafine Clair Nocturne on patterned papers, then fussy cut them all and arranged with some ephemera in my stash. These were layered on a piece of vintage lace trim. The final touches: Hunkydory Pearls!

Strawberry Tag with PaperArtsy
Hello all! This week at Topflight Stamps we are focusing on the PaperArtsy brand. It's a vast category, they have so many products in our store! For my tag, I began with a couple of Fresco Chalk Paint in two colors: Spring and Winter Green and paired them with PaperArtsy Alison Bomber PS487 and PS472 Large Stencils. After the background was dry, I carefully glued down some petite strawberry plants, courtesy of PaperArtsy Alison Bomber Strawberry Edition stamp set. They'd been stamped with VersaFine Onyx Black ink on scrap white cardstock, colored and fussy-cut. I also stamped and cut out the words that come with that stamp set: botanical, medicinal, floral and herbal, and added them on here individually. There's a round label that comes with the set too, and I used that, plus a postage stamp image from the PaperArtsy Alison Bomber Rosehips Edition stamp set. They decorate a piece of abaca ribbon I've had for decades.
