Visible Image Tweedle Dum Another Way

HI Everyone and welcome to the Topflight Stamps blog. It's Jenny here and I have another card using the same cool stamp set by Visible Image that I used last week from their new Alice in Wonderland collection.

It's the Tweedledum and Tweedledee set shown below.

This this week I used it in a different way, along side the Visible Image Distorted Chess stencil.

To create my card, I used my Gel Press with some Paperartsy acrylic paints. I laid down some blues to create an ombre blue base with my press.  I then laid down some purple, overlaid the stencil and then laid over my blue base again, to get the effect you see here.  I then flicked on some white ink.

When it was dry, I stamped one of the faces from the stamp set in black ink slightly above the centre.  I filled in the eyes with white gel pen. I was going for a 'fading cheshire cat' look (for those that know the book/movie), so that only TD's face was there.

I then stamped the sentiment from the set in embossing ink on black card stock and heat embossed in white.  I trimmed it out and popped it up on foam tape below the face.  I backed the entire panel to a white card base.

Hope you like it, I admit, it's a  little weird, but then, that's very Alice!  Be sure to check out the whole collection over on the Topflight Stamps store.

Have a wonderful day all!

Visible Image - Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee

Hi Everyone, it' Jenny here with a card that showcases the new Alice in Wonderland range from Visible Image.  

I'm using the Visible Image Tweedledee and Tweedledum set from their new Alice in Wonderland collection.  It comes with interchangeable faces for the main image so you can stamp it twice for dee and dum!  

The background also uses the Gel Press printing plate carried by Topflight, along with the Alexandra Renke Hearts stencil and Darkroom Door Polka Dots stencil.   The acrylic paints I used are by Paperartsy also carried by Topflight.

I first created the background by using the Gel Press with acrylic paint and laying down the Polka Dot stencil to take a print.  When dry, I added more paint and laid down the Alexandra Renke stencil for a layered look, trimmed it down and set it aside to dry. 

I stamped the main image twice onto Bristol Smooth cardstock in Versafine Onyx Black ink, masking off the face the second time and stamping the other face included in the set instead so the lads look like they are looking at each other.  I also stamped the sentiments, and the hats.   I then colored them in using my Zig Clean Color real brush markers, which blend great on Bristol paper. 

I trimmed out the images and adhered them directly to the panel, with the hats popped up on foam tape.  I also outlined the sentiments in white gel pen so that they stood out more.  I hope you like it, something a little different from me - I can't wait to play with my Gel Press more!

I hope you like it - be sure to check out the Alice in Wonderland collection by Visible Image over on the Topflight Stamps shop, they're fab!  You can also see a full list of the supplies I used over on my blog.

I'm Late! I'm Late! Belated Birthday Card

Hello Topflight fans! Today I'm sharing a belated birthday card that I've made using the adorable white rabbit from the Carabelle Studio "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and the Katzelkraft Torn Paper stamp sets.

I thought that perpetually late white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland was the perfect character for a belated birthday card. And since the stamp depicts only half of the rabbit, having him pop out of the magical Alice in Wonderland world through the torn paper stamp hole would be a fun way of adding a colorful scene.

I Copic colored the hole using colors reminiscent of the Cheshire Cat and Alice's blue dress. I also colored up the white rabbit and fussy cut him out so that he could be inserted into the lower part of the hole where I used an X-Acto blade to cut along one of the torn paper curls. Popping up the rabbit and that base torn paper curl with foam dots added interest and a bit of dimension.

I hand wrote the sentiment, "I'm late! I'm late! For a very important date!" with an ultrafine sharpie marker in teal and added a super fine shadow to the letters with a Copic multiliner pen in 0.05 pt.

Thanks so much for joining me to today! If you're interested in more details about the products I used or a video of the whole process, please check out my blog post HERE.

Alice in Wonderland Artist Trading Cards

Hi Topflight fans! CraftyPaws here today to share how I created an Artist Trading Card series ("ATCs") with an Alice in Wonderland theme. ATCs are always 2.5" x 3.5", just like baseball cards, and they are collected and traded by crafters and artists.

I used stamps from Carabelle Studio's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland as my focal images. I Copic colored the Alice and the White Rabbit and I fussy cut them out to pop up and layer on top of two of the ATCs.

For the backgrounds I started with some Strathmore watercolor paper that I cut down in long strips of 3.5" and 11". Then for a fun faux wood grain look, I used PaperArtsy Infusions powders in The Sage and Lemoncello along with some Ken Oliver Color Burst powder in Ultramarine Blue with Liquitex Matte Medium (I've seen folks use glaze medium for this, but I didn't have that and this matte medium seemed to be a good substitute).

I stamped out some of the hearts or heart sections from the Carabelle Studio Follow Your Heart stamp set onto remaining scraps of the background stained papers and fussy cut them out for layering pieces. I also used the sentiment from this set on the Alice ATCs. To create visual texture and interest, I also used a DecoArt Any Skinner Tornado stencil with some Brilliance pigment ink behind the White Rabbit, doodled in some line details and squiggly framing lines and some smaller hearts with Sharpie markers on two of the ATCs, and added highlights with a Uniball Signo white gel pen on all three ATCs.

Thanks for joining me today for this ATC series share featuring Carabelle Studio. If you'd like more product details or to see a process video of me creating these ATCs please check out my CraftyPaws blog HERE.
