I created two matching celebratory cards that feature AALL & Create stamps.
Did I mention there will be prizes?
Of course, it wouldn’t be a birthday celebration without prizes! Topflight Stamps is giving four lucky winners $50 Gift Certificates to the store. Two winners will be chosen from commenters on the blog hop and two will be chosen from commenters on the IG hop. For a chance to win, make sure to visit all the stops on the hop and leave a comment by April 1st. Winners will be announced on the Topflight Stamps blog on April 2nd. U.S.A winners only due to shipping issues. Good Luck!
Both backgrounds were created by ink smooshing distress inks onto mixed media paper and adding stamped images from the White Seal Stamp Set (AALL & Create) with the Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink pad. I then added black acrylic paint splatters and inked around the edges in coordinating distress ink.
The images (from the Letter Press & Lens & Lines AALL & Create stamp sets) were all stamped on mixed media paper, colored with Arteza Real Brush Pens, and splattered with white acrylic paint. I fussy cut the images, added silver thread behind, and layered them onto a black card stock circle. Three tiny rhinestones and label maker sentiment complete these cards.

ReplyDeleteI love these vibrant cards! Great backgrounds! The typewriter reminds me of the one I got from my parents for high school graduation. I think we gave it away, but it would be fun to have and show my grandkids how we did things back in the 20th century!

ReplyDeleteHi Esther. Your cards are so rich and vibrant. They just make me smile. I just adore the color combos you chose. I put the Lens and Lines stamp in my Wish List. Until I saw your card I didn’t know I NEEDED it:- ) I love the touch of sliver thread, and the label maker strips add to the dimension.
