Topflight Stamps: XOXO from the Techno-Tweets Lovebirds

It's Tuesday which means you've got Kathi here to share a project with you. This week's focus is on Washi Tape. As I love birds, Steampunk, and AALL and Create's Layer-It-Up Washi Tapes, I had to use the Techno Tweet Layer It Up Washi Tape 124 by AALL and Create. I also used AALL and Create's Garden Gears Clear Stamp Set 1229 and the Multilayered Cogs Clear Stamp Set 664,

Apply the Techno Tweet Layer It Up Washi Tape 124 by AALL and Create to Mixed Media paper. I ended up making four copies because I was on a roll. Irregularly cut around the image, except for the ends of the pipe which were closely trimmed. Use a black pen to edge the image panel. Set aside.

Brush Soft Cygnet Elements Ink by Lavinia Stamps onto the top portion of a 7" x 5" piece of Mixed Media paper to create a background panel. Brush Bermuda Elements Ink onto the bottom and sides of the panel. Use a water-filled Fine Spray Misters by Spectrum Noir to mist the panel. Heat set.

Brush Mermaid and Blue Atoll Elements Inks along the bottom part of the panel. Mist and heat set again. Brush Lemon Drop Elements Ink onto the splotchy areas. Thoroughly heat set the panel and flatten it as much as possible.

Trim the panel to 6.75" by 4.75" and place it onto the base of a stamping platform. Position the Garden Gears Clear Stamp Set 1229 by AALL and Create facedown on the right side of the background panel. Use low-tack tape to cover the flower on the stamp, ink the tape-covered stamp with Morning Mist VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko, remove the tape, and stamp.

Position the Multilayered Cogs Clear Stamp 664 by AALL and Create facedown in the center of the background panel then stamp with Morning Mist VersaFine Clair Ink. Position the cogs stamp on the left side and stamp with Morning Mist VersaFine Clair Ink. Use Morning Mist VersaFine Clair Ink to edge the panel, then heat set the entire panel.

Use Russet Orange Elements Inks by Lavinia Stamps to ink a small piece of Mixed Media paper. Heat set it. Spray the inked paper with Cattail Copper Brown Stardust Spray from the Autumn Leaves Stardust Spray Set by Lindy's Stamp Gang and heat set. Use a Nails and Screws cutting die to cut the paper and use a silver metallic pen to add additional detail. Use a Steampunk Pipes cutting die set to cut cut the faucet, the gauge, and the pipes.

Brush a small piece of Mixed Media paper with Soft Cygnet Elements Ink. Use the gauge die to cut it to create the gauge's face. Use a black marker to edge all the die-cuts and a black fine-liner to emphasize the embossed details.

Adhere the Techno Tweet Layer It Up Washi Tape panel to the background panel. Adhere the screws and nails die-cuts as shown. Adhere the faucet to the right side of the Washi-Tape pipe and the pipes and gauges to the left side.

Use a stamping platform and Morning Mist VersaFine Clair Ink to add the sentiments to the card front.

Adhere the card front to a grey 7" x 5" card. Adhere the clear red heart epoxy stickers to finish the card.
