Colorful PaperArtsy Zinski Tag

 

Hello friends, Ericka from Strangely Creative here and today I have a bright tag using the PaperArtsy Zinski stamp along with the Colorista Watercolour Markers.

I stamped this fun Zinski Zini 28 and clear heat embossed it. I then took the Spectrum Noir Colorista Watercolour Markers and colored it up. I love these bright colors and they were easy to blend together. Once my bird was dry, I fussy cut her out. I had a tag in my stash that I had made using my gel press and some texture paste I had added color to. 

I finished my tag with the sentiments in the Studio Light Jenine's Mindful Art Sentiments and Wishes set. There are so many great sentiments in this set it was hard to narrow them down. I also added a little AALL & Create washi tape to the edges for a little contrast.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Paper Artsy - Don't Bug Me!

    Hi Everyone,

Cornelia here today. This week it's anything goes on the Topflight blog. Time to show those cute bugs some love!

I first stamped the bugs. Colored the bugs with Copic markers. Added white gel pen highlights and Stickles to the wings. Trimmed the card and addded a strip of patterned paper at the bottom. Heat embossed the sentiment, cut it apart and added it to my card.

I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting. 

See you next week with more Topflight Stamps inspiration.

PaperArtsy Zinski Art Bird & Bear Gel Printed Christmas Cards

 

Hi friends!  Happy December from Topflight Stamps!  It's Autumn from SewPaperPaint with you today to share some fun wintry cards with you using gel prints and awesome Zinski Art stamps (set ZA35) by PaperArtsy.  I made the shaker cards below a couple of years back for the PaperArtsy blog (visit HERE) and came across them and suddenly was dying to watercolor this stamp set again.  To make things quick, I pulled out some excess gel prints from my stash and cut layered panels with the Crealies XXL Double Stitched Rectangle Dies. 

For this year's cards I used Blue Bayou Fresco Chalk Acrylic on the Gel Press.  I stamped the snowy dots from the Sara Naumann stamp set ESN29 and the snowflakes from the Zinski set.  I added some clear embossing to set the Distress Inks.  I used Sara's gorgeous stencil PS101 (my favorite!) with Cloud 9 Fresco rubbed with a baby wipe to get the soft background effect shown.

 

Just for fun and texture I stamped the music from Sara's set onto vellum and then made a little shaker pocket.  I stitched 3 sides then stuffed in the sequins, then stitched it closed.  The sentiment is from the Sara set.  I added a die cut glittery snowflake and purple Stickles all over the snow. These cards made me smile every step of the way and I hope they give you a smile to day too!  xx, Autumn

Paper Artsy - Hopping You have a Great Day

Hi Everyone,

Cornelia here today! 

This week we are featuring Paper Artsy. They have different designers. I went with Elena Zinski - I love her whimsical style.

I used a page from a Polkadoodles paper pad for my background. Stamped the rabbits and colored them with water brush pens and markers. Stamped the sentiment. Trimmed the cardstock, cutting out the big rabbits ears a bit and added a strip of patterned paper on the side, which I sponged with pink first.

I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting.

They're Perfect Together!

Hi there! It's Tuesday so it's Kathi here to share a project with you. Apparently I'm still in a Valentine's Day mood and felt like match-making, so I joined the birdie on  Zinski Zini #28 Cling Mounted Stamp with the birdie on Zinski Zini #29 Cling Mounted Stamp by PaperArtsy. You've got agree that they make a cute couple! I added the hazard sign from the France Papillon #1 Cling Mounted Stamp Set because sometimes love requires caution. 

Here's the card, which works for Valentine's Day and/or an anniversary. 

The bird on the left (Zinski Zini #28) was stamped first onto the image panel, then onto label paper, which was fussy-cut and placed over the image to be used as a mask. Zinski Zini #29 was then stamped onto the image panel, label paper, fussy-cut, and the fussy-cut version was used as a mask. The hazard sign was stamped onto the image panel to complete the scene. Then it too was stamped, fussy-cut, and used as a mask. Gosh. I'm so predictable. 

Once all the images and the bottom part of the image panel were masked, Pink Jellybean Prism* Ink was brushed over the Hearts and Dots Stencil by Alexandra Renke. Sparkly clear embossing powder was sprinkled over top, then heat embossed. You'll note that some of the dots around the hearts were uninked, I decided that was okay because perfection is overrated. 

Periwinkle Prism Ink was brushed over the the image panel. The horizontal mask covering the bottom of the image was removed and grey Distress ink was brushed over the masked image. I went with Distress ink because I wanted to use my Copics to add shadows.

All the masks were lifted and the images were colored with Copic markers. 

Onyx Black VersaFine Ink by Tsukineko was used to stamp the sentiment from the Love Birds #155 Clear Stamp Set by AALL and Create onto the bottom of the image panel.

The image panel was adhered to an A2 card. A frame die-cut was used to finish the card.

*Please note: Prism ink tends to stay wet longer so it's easily blendable AND you can emboss with it. Plus it's inexpensive, so you can have all the colors.

Valentine's Day with Zinski Art

 Hi Everyone,

Cornelia here today! 

This week's theme is Valentine's Day.

I made the background with my gel plate. Made myself a stencil for the moon and used bleach to get rid of the background color - of course you could have masked it first, but this was a background from my stash......I stamped the background with Lavinia stamps and stamped the rabbits on scrap paper, colored them and cut them out. Added them to my little scene.

I didn't think this needed a sentiment, so I left it as it is.

 I hope you liked this!
