Carabelle Studio at Topflight Stamps

Hi everyone, welcome back to my blog. I'm here today with 3 ATC's made with stamps designed by Birgit Koopsen for Carabelle Studio, called DUTCH TULIPS.

These are the very first ATC's I've ever made, but I think I'm 'hooked' 

TOPFLIGHT STAMPS carry a massive range of Carabelle Studio stamps, why not pop over to the website and check them out. 

 I made the backgrounds with Distress Oxides, then stamped the images in Versafine 'Clair'......a bit of shading & doodling and I was done.

These will definitely not be the last ATC's I make.....I already have a few 'ready-inked' for future projects

Please leave a comment if you've enjoyed looking, or have any questions.

Catch you soon,

Visible Image at Topflight Stamps

Hi bloggers, I'm back with a tag I've made for Topflight Stamps, using stamps from Visible Image and an inky background.

I started by stamping the ballerina from the 

Born To Perform set, (see below) onto heat-resistant acetate with Versamark, then heat-embossing in black. This was then trimmed and 'glittered'.

 I adhered the ballerina to my inky background. Then I added the two stars, which I filled with glitter,  and a sentiment from the same set. A bit of doodling and I was finished. 

The fibres I've used are 'silk-throwers' waste.... the pic doesn't do the colours justice, they're beautiful.

Hope you like my little tag....Please leave a comment, if you've enjoyed looking.....good or bad. (I'm a big girl, I can take criticism 😇) 

Catch you soon,

Lavinia Stamps at Topflight Stamps

Hi everyone, welcome back to TOPFLIGHT STAMPS. 

It's almost the weekend already, aren't the weeks flying by?....soon be Spring!

Anyway, this week I have a set of 3 tags/bookmarks/card toppers for you.....they can be used however you want 😀

I started off by inking 3 small pieces of watercolour card with Distress Oxides in various colours....I chose colours I knew would blend together without going 'muddy'.

Next I picked out the images I thought would go well with the colours.....I'll list the names of every stamp I've used, below. 

I tried to keep the design simple on each piece, as I wanted the lovely colours showing through.

After mounting the pieces onto black card,  from PAPERMILLDIRECT, 

 I used quite a bit of Ranger 'Stickles', as I think Lavinia Stamps just cry out for glitter & bling.

I finished of with some Ranger 'Glossy Accents' and a few pieces of net fabric, in matching colours.

 The stamps I've used are :-

Trinity

Eden

Stars 2

Vine

Celestial Tree

Fairy Trees 1 & 2

Dream Catcher

Stones

Sea Bubbles

Three Dancing Fairies

See A Fairy, Make A Wish

Sacred spells

Whimsical Hares

Most of them are available in the shop HERE  and I know there's been a big delivery of new Lavinia Stamps this week, so why not pop over to check them out?

Hope you like this weeks project, don't forget to leave a comment if you've enjoyed looking......see you next week,
