Topflight Stamps 9th Birthday Blog Hop

There is a master list of Hop stops on the Topflight Stamps blog! We are also Hopping on Instagram at 11 AM EST! You can start at the Topflight Stamps account @topflightstamps.

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. 

Supplies and Tools:

• Letter Press Stamp Set (AALL & Create)
• Lens & Lines Stamp Set (AALL & Create)
• White Seal Stamp Set (AALL & Create)
• Arteza Real Brush Pens
• Motex Embossing Label Maker
• Rhinestones
• Silver Thread 
• Mixed Media Paper Pad

• Stitched Circles 2 Die Set  (CWS)  
• Black & White Acrylic Paint Splatters
