Strawberry Tag with PaperArtsy

Hello all!  This week at Topflight Stamps we are focusing on the PaperArtsy brand.  It's a vast category, they have so many products in our store!  For my tag, I began with a couple of Fresco Chalk Paint in two colors:  Spring and Winter Green and paired them with PaperArtsy Alison Bomber PS487 and PS472 Large Stencils.  After the background was dry, I carefully glued down some petite strawberry plants, courtesy of PaperArtsy Alison Bomber Strawberry Edition stamp set.  They'd been stamped with VersaFine Onyx Black ink on scrap white cardstock, colored and fussy-cut.  I also stamped and cut out the words that come with that stamp set:  botanical, medicinal, floral and herbal, and added them on here individually.  There's a round label that comes with the set too, and I used that, plus a postage stamp image from the PaperArtsy Alison Bomber Rosehips Edition stamp set.  They decorate a piece of abaca ribbon I've had for decades.

Hope you have a beautiful day! ~ Colleen

Painted Woodware Violas

Hello!  This week at Topflight Stamps, our theme is the company Woodware.  I chose to use their Viola stamp set, one of my faves!   On a piece of recycled store-bought greeting card, cut to fit my card base, I painted a background that would nicely highlight the Violas.  I used PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Koala paint to cover the evidence LOL and made a fresh, clean place to stamp the Viola.  Once that was dry, I used Lindy's Stamp Gang Pixie Dust Spray randomly on the panel.  And once that was dry, then stamped Viola in VersaFine Onyx Black ink on top.  On a separate piece of paper, I painted PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Wisteria and let it dry, then stamped Viola there too so I could trim and paper-piece onto my card.  I added a butterfly from AALL & Create Delicate Wings (fussy-cut and layered on), some gems from my stash, and inked the edges of the panel with Lavinia Graphite Dye Ink.  Wishing you a wonderful day! ~ Colleen

AALL & Create Morning Glory

Hello everyone!  After a hiatus, I am so happy to be back on the Topflight Stamps Design Team!  I've got a fun card today to share with you.  I had fun playing with PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Chalk Paints on some packaging I was about to discard.  The paints covered up the cardboard package nicely!  I used Taupe and Koala with a medium size dry paint brush directly onto the cardboard, and it dries fairly quickly.  The AALL & Create "Flower Press" by Tracy Evans was stamped right onto the painted surface with Versafine Onyx Black Ink.  Then I used Lavinia Snow White Chalk Paint to spatter on some spots.  It was lovely as-is, but I decided to go a step further and do some paper piecing using the Craft Consortium Ink Drops "Ocean" paper pad to highlight the blossoms and a couple of leaves.  LOVE how it turned out!  Final touches were several Hunkydory Diamond Sparkle Silver Gemstones in random spots. Thanks for joining me, have a great day! ~ Colleen

Upcycling a Cigar Box with PaperArtsy Products

 Greetings! It's Tuesday you've got Kathi here to share a project with you. This week the team is focusing on paints! I decided to use Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic Paints and Printed Tissue Paper 4 by Tracy Scott to upcycle a treasured/hoarded wooden cigar box.

The Top of the Box

The Front of the Box

The Side of the Box

The Inside of the Top of the Box

The Inside of the Bottom of the Box

Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic Paints by PaperArtsy were used to paint the cigar box and the back of images from a sheet of Printed Tissue Paper 4 by Tracy Scott for PaperArtsy. 

Nocturne VersaFine Clair Inks by Imagine was used to stamp the two wee triangles from the TS054 Rubber Cling Mounted Stamp Set by Tracy Scott for PaperArtsy.

Bali Blue and Monarch VersaFine Clair Inks by Imagine were used with the Stencil PS322 by Tracy Scott for PaperArtsy to create a panel for the inside of the bottom of the cigar box.

Please note that I used some paints that are not currently available at Topflight Stamps. BoraBora or Beach Hut are a decent substitute for Caribbean Sea.  Eggplant is a good substitute for Purple Rain and Vintage Lace will work in place of Blush.
