Hi friends! Thanks for stopping by today for the Topflight Stamps 7th birthday. To celebrate, I’ve teamed up with some great designers to showcase celebratory projects using the unique products available at Topflight Stamps. Please hop along with us and see all the beautiful talent from this group of amazing designers! There is a master list of Hop stops on the Topflight Stamps blog! We are also Hopping on Instagram! You can start at the Topflight Stamps account @topflightstamps. Did we mention there will be prizes?!
I've created a series of artsy mixed media cards using Gel Press printed backgrounds and fabulous stamps by PaperArtsy. I fell in love with these moody prints I made using a combination of Fresco Chalk Acrylics in Sargasso, Bougainvillea, and Slimed. I didn't use any stencils for these backgrounds, just vivid color. I was able to get color variation on the plate by using my 2" Speedball Brayer and adding color in small sections to cover the gel plate.
The focal stamp set is by Jofy, set JOFY112, an absolute joy to work with! I stamped in black Versafine onto my prints, then again onto Bristol and colored with my Prism brush markers. I fussy cut the leaves only and used foam tape to add them for dimension.
For my backgrounds I did some white embossing with the Jofy branch and a fun mini stamp by Tracy Scott, EM61. I also used mini stamp EM58 in black to resemble washi tape.
I sewed around each of my panels and finished with some paint pen scripty doodles and sticker sentiments. I just love how these cards turned out and hope they inspire you today!

I love the Jofy flowers, so lively and colorful. Love your work.
Loving these wonderful cards Autumn - the backgrounds are beautiful - and I love your choice of stamping over them, and the white doodles are fascinating.
I have difficulty with my brayers 'beading' the ink - I have had some better results using acrylic paints, but it is frustrating..
Blessings

Absolutely amazing cards my friend!!

Gorrrrrrrgeous backgrounds, and your flowers just pop with the bright colors and contrast! I love the black and white accents with all those textures and layers of color, and scribbles, and stitching - so very fun.
A truly joyous set of cards Autumn. You have an innate mastery of colour combinations and here you've used them to make the flowers totally pop! xx

Hi Autumn, I am not sure if my comment is in moderation still, but I am going to try and post again.
I love your suite of cards. The bright pink and green Fresco paint is so striking. I want to try to replicate your beautiful and unique background. I also love bold sentiments. It reminds me of a DYMO label maker I had as a kid. I also love how you stitched around your card and left the tail string. It’s such a beautiful mixed media work. I can’t wait to see your next designs.
Looks like you used some of your MM papers! Really enjoyed the bright colors.
Beautiful project! Iam inspired to get my gel plate out!
