The Grove by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

Hi guys!
Today I'm creating with The Grove by Blue Knight Rubber
Stamps.  It is a Newly released set.   The set is a landing
place for the silhouette images that Blue Knight
Rubber Stamps is famous for.  Perfect stamp for that!

The card on the left is created with Panpastels and the card
on the right is using Distress Oxide inks. After the backgrounds were
created the images were put on a stamping platform and added to the
card front. Other Blue Knight Stamps used were: Rear View Truck,
Birthday Fun and Cowboy Hero.  The cloud stencil was used on the
left card.  Dimensional adhesive was used by Scrapbook
Adhesives by 3L.

Topflight Stamps 4th Birthday Blog Hop ~

It's Topflight Stamps 4th birthday and to celebrate, I’ve teamed up with some
 great designers to showcase birthday cards 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! You should have arrived here from
 Kathi's blog. If not, no worries, catch the details below.

***************************************************************
I wanted to created something really special for Topflight Stamps 4th Birthday.
It had to scream TOPFLIGHT STAMPS.  So I created two cards, the first is the 
REALLY SPECIAL ONE ~

I used a bunch (like 10 stamps) to create this card celebrating 
Topflight Stamps.  The background pattern paper has a purple swirl on it 
and I added some Distress Oxide ink to bring in the blue.  The stamps
I created with are: Darkroom Door: Number Medley, Global Postmarks,
Happy Birthday, Hand Stamped, Take Flight, Birthday,
Camera, Sketchy Stars and PaperArsty: EM46.
Also used embossing Powder on the sentiment across the camera. 
 Check out the airplane (above the sentiment).  Love it!!!

The second card is very traditional. I created with Darkroom Door: Number Medley,

Cupcake, Candles, Sketchy Stars, Happy Birthday and PaperArsty: EM46.

The background is created with Distress Oxide inks and sprinkled with

water, for that distress look that we all love. Already for the focal image.
The cupcake is colored in with Distress Oxide inks.  All stamped with

Versafine/Onyx Black ink.
Next up is Ericka.
