Hi Everyone and welcome to the Topflight Stamps blog! It's Jenny here, and this week I've been having a little fun with one of the new Studio Light Art by Marlene stamps. This is a great collection, and the 'chubby chicks' range is so much fun. I couldn't resist adding a little 'wobble to my project today.
My card today uses the Swimmer stamp from the set. It's super big so I created a 5 x 5 inch card.
To create my card, I first created the background, using Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. I swiped them across a 5 x 5 square of cold press watercolor cardstock, choosing colors that looked like the sea against a sunset. I used a waterbrush to blend them together, then let them dry. I then stamped the image over the top of the background in black watercolor ink, and colored in the headdress with gold gel pen, and the starfish and fish in Zigs.
I stamped the image a second time on another piece of watercolor cardstock, and colored it in with my Zigs and a waterbrush. I also used some Sakura green glitter gel pen on the bikini. When dry, I trimmed it out, and then edged round the outside with a black marker. Before adhering it down, I added some more water and blue Zig to the water, to get clear water marks where the ripples are. I also swiped the blue zig across the lady's legs as if they were in the water.
I adhered a mini action wobbler to the back of the lady and then adhered her to the card panel, directly over the background stamped image . When you flick it, it looks like she's shaking in the water !! I couldn't resist.
I hope you like it, you can see more details on the supplies I used for this over on my blog. Have a fun day!!

Hi Everyone and welcome to the Topflight Stamps Blog! It's Jenny here, and I'm so excited to be joining you today showcasing the brand new and exclusive to Topflight Stamps Katzelkraft holiday accessories stamp sets. You can only get these from Topflight Stamps - check out this post for more information. This is the Pilgrim Holiday Acessories and More set:
The stamps go perfectly with many of the previously released critter stamps from Katzelkraft, and are perfect for giving a holiday twist (including Thanksgiving, Christmas and Halloween) to your projects. This is the Christmas Holiday Accessories and More set:
I created my card projects today with the Katzelkraft Jungle Animals and Katzelkraft Les Chiens - Dogs sets.
I wanted to keep my projects simple, so each project uses the same media - I'm using Canson XL coldpress watercolor paper and stamping in waterproof black ink (I used Versafine Onyx Black ink).
I trimmed down four pieces of the cardstock to A2 (4.25 x 5.5 inches). For my first card I first stamped the dog, then stamped it again on masking paper and fussy cut it out. I adhered it over the dog, then stamped the large christmas tree from the set of the top, and removed the mask.
I watercolored in the image with pan watercolors (mine are by Altenew) and added some shadows under the tree and the dog to ground them. When dry I adhered to a white card base, and added glossy accents to the dog's eyes and the tree baubles for shine.
For my next card, I stamped the sleigh from the accessories set first, I then stamped it again on masking paper, and masked off the sleigh. I stamped the dog over the top and then removed the mask, so that he looked like he was sitting in it! I stamped a gift from the set in the corner, and then added my own clouds with a black copic fineliner to make it look like he was dreaming about pressies! I then watercolored it in. I added glossy accents on his eyes, and some shimmer pen to the gift.
My next card uses the hippo from the Jungle animal set. I stamped him in the top corner, and then stamped the string lights just over his foot to make it look like he'd caught them as he was flying away. I added the top of the smaller tree from the set at the bottom so the lights looked like they had come off the tree. I watercolored the image in and added glossy accents to the lights, the hippo's eyes and the baubles.
My final card uses another one of the dogs, and I then stamped (without masking) one of the pumpkins onto the top of his nose at an angle. I added some 'lines' to make it look like he was balancing the pumpkin and wobbling. I then watercolored it in.
To finish each of the cards, I stamped several of the sentiments from the Katzelkraft Holiday Quotes set in Versamark and heat embossed them in gold embossing powder. I trimmed them out and adhered them to the cards.
There are so many possibilities with these sets, I'm really looking forward to playing with them some more!! You can see a full list of the supplies I used over on my blog. Have a wonderful day!
