Topflight Stamps 7th Birthday Blog Hop~

It's Topflight Stamps 7th birthday and time to celebrate. I’ve teamed up 
with some great designers to showcase celebratory projects using
 the unique products available at Topflight Stamps.  Please hop
 along with us and see all the beautiful talent from this group of amazing
 designers! The master list, of hop stops, is on the Topflight Stamps Blog. 
We are also Hopping on Instagram! You can start at the 
 Topflight Stamps account @topflightstamps.

I created an Art Journal page and two mixed media style tags.  I will list the
products after each project is explained.  I'm using Katzelkraft, 
Studio Light, Paper Artsy and Darkroom Door.  

The background is created with a mix of Distress Oxide inks.  I then
added some very cool eclectic stamps from Kazelkraft using Archival/
Jet Black ink.  The focal images (crazy birds) and the text is stamped out,
colored and then trimmed.  The elements are added to the front
of the page with wet glue and dimensional adhesives.  To complete
the mixed media (messy look) I speckled with black acrylic paint.
Products: Katzelkraft: Les Accessoires,  Les Piafs (crazy birds),
 Literary Quotes, Contraptions and Things, Ephemera.  Darkroom Door:
Stitched Borders and Ransom Alphabet.  Paper Artsy: HP 2401 and
HP 2402.

I'm using tags by Studio Light as the base for my mixed media creations.

The instructions for the tags are the same as the Art Journal page.
Same steps make it easy!!! 
Products used: Studio Light Funky Tags, Katzelkraft: Les Piafs, Spiral
Borders, Elephant Watson, Les Accessoires and Whatchamacallit.
Paper Artsy: HP 2401, HP 2402.

Les Piafs (crazy birds).

This tag is created in the same manner but I was thinking
about Rachel Greig when I created it.   The last few years she
has been a part of the Topflight Stamps Birthday Blog Hop and
I didn't want her to miss this year.  So this is for Rachel!!!
Such a great friend and talented artist. 
Products used: Darkroom Door: Handwritten Ledger, Fine
Flowers vol.2, Fine Leaves, Number Medley, Take Flight, Milestone 
 and Great Friend (small stamps).

Did we mention there will be prizes?
