I've used white 'Hopsack' for the 3 layers and cut them with Spellbinders Noble Circles. </div>

Hi folks, I'm back today with a tag I've made, using a few different
PaperArtsy products.... from Topflight Stampsπ</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I'll list what I've used at the end of this post)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ALL CARD STOCK IS FROM <b><a href="http://www.papermilldirect.co.uk/">PAPERMILLDIRECT</a></b> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started off by cutting a tag shape, and inking it with Brusho powders.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Using
an old book page, I stamped two flowers from a set of stamps designed
by Tracy Scott (I adore Tracy's designs). These were 'fussy-cut' and put
aside until I'd finished the background.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Using stamps & stencils, I made a 'messy background on which to place the flower.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyNVKtCBSn_sEwtjg29lHRAJ0o83OmgV_feSR5uvkLubGD3fHs1PZMbANsn5ugPOnUAH-dX1gAfmxbJzhRAYIewnMqrRavySo1wh4A1TV36nptqmHN9o9hi1jNwcpMl-QP_SCZoucTg4E/s1600/IMG_6856.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1134" data-original-width="1280" height="283" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyNVKtCBSn_sEwtjg29lHRAJ0o83OmgV_feSR5uvkLubGD3fHs1PZMbANsn5ugPOnUAH-dX1gAfmxbJzhRAYIewnMqrRavySo1wh4A1TV36nptqmHN9o9hi1jNwcpMl-QP_SCZoucTg4E/s320/IMG_6856.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I
must admit at this stage I'd made it too messy and didn't like it too
much. Hey-ho, no time to make another, so I had to finish it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I adhered the flower & stem, which I'd coloured with inks, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then added a few drops of enamel accents in black & white, and a bit of doodling.</div>

Hi bloggers, I'm back today with two cards made using </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><a href="http://www.inkylicious.co.uk/">INKYLICIOUS</a></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> </b> stamps & stencils and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><a href="http://www.papermilldirect.co.uk/">PAPERMILLDIRECT </a></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
card stock.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've used almost the same stencils and stamps, but changed the colour of the background. It makes a massive difference.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was inspired by a card made by the lovely ( <a href="http://sal-utations.blogspot.com/"><b>SALLY HOLMES</b> )</a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What do you think???</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My fave is the brightest one, of course..... </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi everyone, I'm back again with a card made using stamps by
KAISERCRAFT.....A few years ago, I was lucky enough to visit the
Kaisercraft HQ just outside of Melbourne, Australia. It was amazing, I
was like a kid in a sweet shop, so much to choose from. I've liked
Kaisercraft stamps ever since and was very happy to see that <a href="http://www.topflightstamps.com/"><b>TOPFLIGHT STAMPS</b> </a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">carry a selection.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This week I've used a set called ISLAND ESCAPE - find them <b><a href="https://topflightstamps.com/collections/kaisercraft-australia/products/kaisercraft-island-escape-clear-polymer-stamp-set">HERE</a></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To make the background, I used Distress Oxides and blending brushes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I
stamped the palm tree images & sentiment directly onto the inked
background, then added a bit of shading & doodling to give the beach
& sea effect.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The flowers were stamped onto a separate piece of card, coloured, cut-out, then adhered to the main topper.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO35ojS6CxADsjXAXJfC0Vo_WlnrAXFfIEFGh7KW6LpQ_g3QV8SzSjyDd5NYrweAkBypTGqMbj4f0vHiX0FgIROHX9nEU0ZiFiVYNaFOZRzkOGGKFMbjc7MvKohGSRRe8LMH8JMt0i8Xk/s1600/IMG_6718.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="968" data-original-width="1296" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO35ojS6CxADsjXAXJfC0Vo_WlnrAXFfIEFGh7KW6LpQ_g3QV8SzSjyDd5NYrweAkBypTGqMbj4f0vHiX0FgIROHX9nEU0ZiFiVYNaFOZRzkOGGKFMbjc7MvKohGSRRe8LMH8JMt0i8Xk/s320/IMG_6718.JPG" width="320" /></a></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi bloggers, I'm back today with a bright DT card for </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.topflightstamps.com/"><b>TOPFLIGHT</b> <b>STAMPS</b></a> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">which I'm intending to frame......</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've had my <a href="https://topflightstamps.com/collections/carabelle-studio?page=7"><b>CARABELLE STUDIO</b> </a>stamps out this week, they are superb quality, white rubber, and very detailed. (it's almost a shame to ink them up π)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway,
I started my card by inking a piece of white textured card (Hopsack) from <b> </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.papermilldirect.co.uk/">PAPERMILLDIRECT</a></b> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">with Izinks
ink pads, then made a few layers of colour using various stencils.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Once the background was finished, I over-stamped, using a couple of different sets of Carabelle Studio Art Stamps.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRmzFe7XgW_voafPNa111EsMWmy0x7OcGjNs9oz19VzIUak1z-67HjQ6nmtwEgHWvH1A-Cb8dSZuDktpY97i-J1gX1im5WHebWtfLoywFd8_lDUtRMsuj9itk0L0tygYWxVcJA01QlKT8/s1600/IMG_6674.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="968" data-original-width="1296" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRmzFe7XgW_voafPNa111EsMWmy0x7OcGjNs9oz19VzIUak1z-67HjQ6nmtwEgHWvH1A-Cb8dSZuDktpY97i-J1gX1im5WHebWtfLoywFd8_lDUtRMsuj9itk0L0tygYWxVcJA01QlKT8/s320/IMG_6674.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I'll list at the end, sets of stamps I used.....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaI3psDBqT2mN2V266qrpVtj-C_UGjlu6U4hXKj-2aNE-UBmEdoUqyzluBm9mbLJiUAGZqmrasHNYJ2BqZM9k9frNBeV9nwNF06z41WT9h1veSa9xEObAIzRhyphenhyphenNsVpdu4whyphenhyphenfHX8b7JAA/s1600/IMG_6675.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="968" data-original-width="1296" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaI3psDBqT2mN2V266qrpVtj-C_UGjlu6U4hXKj-2aNE-UBmEdoUqyzluBm9mbLJiUAGZqmrasHNYJ2BqZM9k9frNBeV9nwNF06z41WT9h1veSa9xEObAIzRhyphenhyphenNsVpdu4whyphenhyphenfHX8b7JAA/s320/IMG_6675.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Once
the stamping was finished on the card, I stamped some of the images
onto a printed book page, cut them out and adhered to the main topper.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A bit of doodling, some Ranger Enamel Accents, and I was almost done.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I darkened the corners with a charcoal pencil and smudged it a bit.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">All I had to do was mount onto black, white, then black again to make an eye-catching frame.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi everyone, I'm today with a masculine card to show.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've used a stamp from <b>IndigoBlu</b> called 'Fairway to Heaven', a golfing image, for all the men in your lives who love a round of golf!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">IndigoBlu
are an English company who make mounted, red rubber stamps.....they are
very detailed and high quality. Checkout the IndigoBlu section on the <b><a href="http://www.topflightstamps.com/">TOPFLIGHT STAMPS</a> </b>website for a great selection.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To
start, I laid a stencil over a piece of watercolour card, spritzed some
water on the stencil then sprinkled on Brushos. Once the stencil
was removed, it left the coloured background.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I stamped the image using Versafine Clair ink, in Twilight, then coloured the golfer with watercolours.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSy3oCrU-doZhqgKG_HViILdZWgnQHvTwlUjZECxS60BMRc62t8tpi21FYuftuosQltGRYNO5Xi-SPOAYmTvZmx0UsPLicdo09e5rp3nLiExPK4fbfPcGUYkiVlVJFJ_FpUUzRKsG_QB8/s1600/IMG_6644.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1120" data-original-width="1280" height="280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSy3oCrU-doZhqgKG_HViILdZWgnQHvTwlUjZECxS60BMRc62t8tpi21FYuftuosQltGRYNO5Xi-SPOAYmTvZmx0UsPLicdo09e5rp3nLiExPK4fbfPcGUYkiVlVJFJ_FpUUzRKsG_QB8/s320/IMG_6644.JPG" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A little bit of inking around the edges, and a couple of layers of green & yellow card, (all from <b><a href="http://www.papermilldirect.co.uk/">PAPERMILLDIRECT)</a></b> and I was done. </span></div>

Hi bloggers, a quick mid-week post from me with a little tag, using stamps from</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><a href="http://www.inkylicious.co.uk/">INKYLICIOUS</a></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We've seen some beautiful sunsets recently both at home in Wiltshire and on the coast at Broad Haven, Pembrokeshire where we're lucky enough to have bought a holiday home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The sunsets have inspired this tag.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've used the gorgeous textured card -hopsack- (225gsm) and Mocha Brown (240gsm), both from <b><a href="http://www.papermilldirect.co.uk/">PAPERMILLDIRECT</a></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi everyone, I'm back with my weekly blog post for <a href="http://www.topflightstamps.com/">TOPFLIGHT STAMPS</a>......I can't believe how
quickly the weeks are flying by, it just seems a few hours since I did
my last post π</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, this week I've made a little tag/bookmark with some fabulous <b>Rubber Dance Stamps</b>, designed by <b>Susanne Rose</b>. I love Susanne's work, so when I saw these '<b>Textured Houses</b>' I just knew I had to have them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I inked up a piece of cardstock with Izinks , then laid a bubble stencil over the top and sponged through with white Gesso.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
houses were stamped onto an old book page, cut-out and inked with
contrasting colours, then adhered to the background. I mounted the
coloured piece onto black card, as a base.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvRrU11LOuFNUumzzVnlDV__ZHH8-qcOkYL1nHdtVXFUXk39Rkvsq0sGjKWv4ClQzDMQXdyKgx1QDtgESv6-20c4rvHJR4091gept5Ymc3BiPixhd1noXWSoo3pHOQDgwv4LptaTk6t_g/s1600/IMG_6607.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="880" data-original-width="1280" height="220" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvRrU11LOuFNUumzzVnlDV__ZHH8-qcOkYL1nHdtVXFUXk39Rkvsq0sGjKWv4ClQzDMQXdyKgx1QDtgESv6-20c4rvHJR4091gept5Ymc3BiPixhd1noXWSoo3pHOQDgwv4LptaTk6t_g/s320/IMG_6607.JPG" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I inked a piece of seam binding to match.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I love these little houses, so this won't be the last time you see me using them π</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Topflight Stamps have a good selection of Rubber Dance stamps, why not pop over and check them out?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Catch you soon, but as always, have a fab, crafty weekend.</span></div>

Hi everyone, well I've been stalking the postie this week, waiting for my new products from</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.inkylicious.co.uk/?ccUser=">INKYLICIOUS</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They arrived this morning and I had to sit and play with them immediately!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We've just bought a holiday home this week, in Broad Haven, Pembrokeshire.... a minutes walk from the beach. These new stamps will be used to make some framed pics for the lounge π</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On this project I used the clam stencil with Pampas Grass, Seagulls, and Willow Twigs stamps.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>ALL CARD STOCK IS FROM PAPERMILLDIRECT </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The inks are IZINKS.....very bright & juicy, I'm loving them!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I popped the completed card 'topper' into a cheap frame from Ikea....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, the first art for our new holiday home, yeah!</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi bloggers, I'm here again...... and this week I've made a couple of tags to show you.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've used a fabulous new stamp by Carabelle-Studio<a href="http://www.topflightstamps.com/">.</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This stamp is a complete image and makes for a very quick card or tag.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I inked up a piece of cardstock with some new inks called Izinks......they are BRIGHT!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I then applied white paint through an Andy Skinner stencil, from PaperArtsy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">With
the card cut in half, the stamp was inked with Versamark, then heat
embossed....... one piece in white and the other in black. I stamped the
butterfly part on separate inked card, cut them out and adhered to the
tag.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq1xcPg32xCbaOl2O9mPqSxH__Yxun2poWJunJejaYcKQ-IJxgJIhysa4DN1bQ7Ekjb3458LQgdDdwvda_tcE1MdqQIOavAPlytNuzWo7XMeUSUGDAO_m5AlFGW69VZNYseu8VWQsR-Ew/s1600/IMG_6481.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="968" data-original-width="1296" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq1xcPg32xCbaOl2O9mPqSxH__Yxun2poWJunJejaYcKQ-IJxgJIhysa4DN1bQ7Ekjb3458LQgdDdwvda_tcE1MdqQIOavAPlytNuzWo7XMeUSUGDAO_m5AlFGW69VZNYseu8VWQsR-Ew/s320/IMG_6481.JPG" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I was just curious how different the tags would look, although they were identical apart from the colour of embossing powder.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXWvh0x0MYnJCX6jtVxm9SF0QFDyn-nmwvNWgAfR8SrT0_gUgUpUIv48QKsl2CRoddQsI41ki46HaKD3PsLaD3_oFonJjbzF_CAKopjy7VMBAax5ZF9MQ0q9X9G1jDLlOKHFOZpPamDDs/s1600/IMG_6482.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="1184" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXWvh0x0MYnJCX6jtVxm9SF0QFDyn-nmwvNWgAfR8SrT0_gUgUpUIv48QKsl2CRoddQsI41ki46HaKD3PsLaD3_oFonJjbzF_CAKopjy7VMBAax5ZF9MQ0q9X9G1jDLlOKHFOZpPamDDs/s320/IMG_6482.JPG" width="296" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm still not sure which one I prefer π what do you think??</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Topflight Stamps have a massive selection of Carabelle Studio stamps, why not pop over to check them out?</span></div>

Hi blog followers, it's Friday already and I'm back with my <a href="http://www.topflightstamps.com/">TOPFLIGHT STAMPS</a> post for this week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I live in the UK, and we've already had Mother's Day, but I notice it's coming soon in the US.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because of this, I've made a couple of feminine cards, which could be used for Mother's Day, or even a birthday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've used Jofy stamps again, from Paperartsy, <span style="color: red;"><b>(link at end)</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><b> </b><span style="color: black;">These are simple cards, but quite effective.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;"><b>ALL CARDSTOCK IS FROM <a href="http://www.papermilldirect.co.uk/">PAPERMILLDIRECT</a></b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;"><b>I've used black smooth, and white Hopsack on these cards.</b> </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6ymdxp4MPGVSICC5Fi7utgka_68lDixBHZ5htbYvKh5QRV8OqbtEKqJqUv_GRQj745SDcNi4RqjA5AR_NtdQx7LWC_-ZjlKMntqEBzplnZnYQBATEIb6z1zL8bz9U5_H7oMk6NR7svfA/s1600/IMG_6446.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="968" data-original-width="1296" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6ymdxp4MPGVSICC5Fi7utgka_68lDixBHZ5htbYvKh5QRV8OqbtEKqJqUv_GRQj745SDcNi4RqjA5AR_NtdQx7LWC_-ZjlKMntqEBzplnZnYQBATEIb6z1zL8bz9U5_H7oMk6NR7svfA/s320/IMG_6446.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I
stamped the large flower onto previously inked background, then cut it
out. At this stage I added doodles, with a white pen. .....Using
Distress Oxides and a blending brush, I lightly inked a small part of
white textured card stock, to give a very soft base for the vibrant
flower. I splashed a bit of contrasting colour over the card, then
adhered the flower to the background. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I filled in parts of the image with Ranger 'Glossy Accents'.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The 'mum' was die-cut and adhered along with a small sentiment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The whole 'topper' was mat onto black card, then a white card base of the same textured card. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My usual few sequins and I was done.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because I love this new stamp set, I made a second card whilst I had the stamps out, in a different colour.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggiBDd4rSkaRYpfZ8tWPO07a7nRnFOzWopW2uumWwh7VcHrQ9EqHoslt50WR9CWb9zG6ThqsOrx7BxaOK7bTTpGQ2NBV1laKD8uDftS_s3MCibftVBFcJ-PDyU2TSATqiANKqIon51L6o/s1600/IMG_6444.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="1162" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggiBDd4rSkaRYpfZ8tWPO07a7nRnFOzWopW2uumWwh7VcHrQ9EqHoslt50WR9CWb9zG6ThqsOrx7BxaOK7bTTpGQ2NBV1laKD8uDftS_s3MCibftVBFcJ-PDyU2TSATqiANKqIon51L6o/s320/IMG_6444.jpg" width="290" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've also used a Jofy stencil on this one.....(the leaves are actually a pretty green colour, but look anemic in the pic π)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, as always, have a great weekend, with plenty of crafting if you get the chance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bye for now,</div>
