Topflight Stamps Birthday Blog Hop



It's Topflight Stamps 3rd birthday and to celebrate, I’ve teamed up with some great designers to showcase birthday cards using the unique products available at TopflightStamps.com. Please hop along with us and see all the beautiful talent from this group of amazing designers! You should have arrived here from the Jenny Marples' blog. If not, no worries, catch the details below. Follow along here and if you get lost you can always start at the Topflight Stamp Blog


I made a pair of card featuring lots of lovely stamps by Darkroom Door. I started by inking a watercolor panel with my stash of Distress Stains that hadn't seen any use in a long while.


I was able to get two cards from my panel.


For the first I used the Bottles stamp set and filled it with blossoms from the Warm Wishes stamp set.  To create some contrast, I used texture paste with the Handwritten Script stencil.  The tiny tag came from the Warm Wishes set and the yellow sentiment is from the Happy Birthday sentiment strip stamp.  I used another portion of this sentiment on a second card.  I stamped the Garden Birds and watercolored one to coordinate.  I added some transparent embossing powder over the still wet Distress Stains for contrast, then stamped the Dots eclectic stamp on the background and embossed the Happy Birthday in white for contrast.


Thanks so much for stopping by!  Here's the hop list:

Both cards are fabulous. I love that you created a master board that you used to create two such different cards.
