Scrapbook Layouts with Chou and Flowers

 Hello, it's Rachel Kleinman from rwkrafts and I'm sharing two scrapbook pages I created using the beautiful stamp set Memories by Chou and Flowers. The set includes both large and small images that are perfect for layering to create accents for the layouts.


For this layout I started by spraying the white background with Prism Glimmer Mist "Azure Sky" and "Silver Dollar". 


I stamped multiple images on white cardstock and cut them out. I placed a drop of Paper Artsy Fresco Paint in Zesty Zing, Bora Bora, and Limelight on my craft mat and misted the paint with water. I then tapped the stamped images onto the paints. I intentionally left some white space to help the detail of the stamps shine through.


I also stamped the sentiment "zoom. focus. capture" around the layout using Prism Ink in French Navy.



I created a second layout using the same Chou and Flowers Memories stamp set...


I started by rough painting the background with Paper Artsy Fresco Paint in Zesty Zing and London Bus. I used these paint colors to mimic the sunset images on the layout.


The stamped images were colored with Copic Markers. I also repeatedly stamped the sentiment "Memories Inside" with Prism Ink "Camillia Pink". I also finished off the page by splattering Prism Glimmer Mist in Bronze Penny.


I really love the polaroid image in this stamp set. I printed three other sunset photos to size to fit in the image. These polaroid stamps would also be a great spot for journaling and adding dates to the layout.

I hope you enjoyed my scrapbook layouts featuring photos from our trip to Santa Cruz!

Chou and Flowers Stamps Watercolored Fairy Card

Hi friends!  It's Autumn Clark from SewPaperPaint with you today to share a card made with stamps by a brand new company at Topflight Stamps, Chou & Flowers.  For this card, I started by making a fun inky background following the Lavinia process of brayering Elements premium dye ink in Sahara onto my 6x6 Gel Press printing plate, then sprinkling on Brusho crystals in Lime, using a fan brush and pulling the print.  I cut the panel with the Crealies XXL Double Stitched Square dies.  I stamped and watercolored my the fairy from the Chou & Flowers Acrobat Fairy and the leaves from the Plant Lover stamp set.  I used Prism Markers for my watercolor on Bristol paper.  Then I embossed extra leaves in white to add interest to the inky background, then adhered my fussy cut elements as shown.  I hope you've enjoyed seeing this card and will check out the entire range of Chou & Flowers stamps available at Topflight Stamps.  xx, Autumn

Visible Image Sketched Tulips

 

I hope you all are having a happy Friday! Ericka from Strangely Creative here with a card I made using the Visible Image new Spring Release. I love this release especially the unique dies and flowers and the Sketched Tulips is one of my favorites.

I created my background by smooshing Prism Inks in Dusty Rose, Purple Velvet, and French Navy on my mat and lightly misted it with water. I used some Bristol Smooth paper to pick up the paper for a pretty watercolor look.


Once my background was dry, I used the script stamp included in the Sketched Tulips set and stamped it on my background with the French Navy ink. I then used an old book page and ran it through my die cutter with the Visible Image Framed Fibers.


I adhered the die cut page to my background with some liquid clue. After stamping and heat embossing the tulip, I used watercolor markers to color it up. I finished my card with the sentiment from the Visible Image Spring Awakening and attached it and my tulip to the card with foam tape.


Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful weekend and a chance to get crafty.

Party Bee

  Hi Everyone,

Cornelia here today. This week it's anything goes on the Topflight blog. I just wanted to play along in a few challenges and that fat bee flew into my craft room and voila - this weeks card appeared, LOL!

I stamped the bee and colored it with Copics. Added a bit of light blue around it to give it some depth. Added the sentiment (AALL & Create - Clear Stamp Set - #53) unfortunately no longer in the store. Lastly I added Stickles to the wings.



I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting. 
See you next week with more Topflight Stamps inspiration.

And here are the stamp supplies I used:

Let's have a therapy session

There is so much going on in the world today that we all just need to take a time out. A mental break. That is what I did tonight. No thinking, no planning, just coloring, and doodling. Fun fact: I like to doodle. 


I used the stamp from PaperArtsy Jofy 73 and repeat stamped the flower on kraft-colored paper.


I started painting with PaperArtsy Fresco Persimmon.


...then Orchid


...then Shutters


...and lastly, Willow.


I took a black and white paint pen and started to doodle circles, stripes, and add lines on the flowers. Don't rush this process. I wanted to finish, but I stopped myself. I needed to unwind, not get more anxious. Place each dot intentionally. Carefully. This is for you. 
You time.


I cut up the sheet into four and made four unique A2 cards with extra doodling and sentiments.









This black one is my favorite card!!
Thanks for stopping by and let me know how you destress from the world's happenings!

Talk soon,

Let the Good Times Roll!

 Greetings and Happy Mardi Gras! It's Tuesday, so you've got Kathi here to share a project with you. In honor of the holiday, I decided to create a slimline card featuring a Drinks Cart Parade using the Happy Hour Clear Stamp Set 476 by Janet Klein for AALL and Create. 

Here it is!


It was a fun challenge to get all my drink carts in a row! Fortunately, I have a stamping platform which made it much easier. All I needed to do was to position the stamp at the right edge of the platform, ink and stamp it, then move the paper 1.75" to the right and stamp again. I did this until I had a row of carts. 

I used Copic markers to color the carts, bottles, ice bucket, and glasses, then added a strip of Wishy-Washi Washi Tape 19 by Janet Klein to the base of the image under the carts' wheels. The image panel was die-cut and the background was added with Copic markers. It still needed a little something, so I used Butterscotch Prism Ink to repeatedly stamp one of the background stamps from the Voyager Clear Stamp Set 198 by Olga Heldwein for AALL and Create along the top.

The sentiment was computer generated, die-cut, and adhered to the image panel which was edged with Midnight Black Prism Ink

The card front was assembled from patterned paper that had been edged with Midnight Black Prism Ink.
