Topflight Stamps Fifth Birthday Celebration: Blog Hop!

It's Topflight Stamps 5th birthday and to celebrate, I’ve teamed up with some great designers to show off some of the unique products that Topflight Stamps has to offer. Please hop along with us and check out all the amazing projects that these talented designers have to share! If you're already following the hop you should have arrived here from Autumn Clark's blog. If you're starting the hop with me then scroll down to the bottom of this post to find the full list of hoppers and join us for the fun! Make sure you check out the AMAZING SALE (20% OFF), details for that are below too.

For today's project I decided to celebrate Topflight Stamps' birthday with a magical stamp set that I found in their shop. I picked this set partly because it's absolutely stunning but also because this sentiment describes how I feel when I get to shop Topflight's cool selection... I feel like magic has touched my soul! They have a ton of stamps, stencils and dies that are great for creating mixed media projects and I always want to buy all of the things! Anyhow, for today's art journal I used the Faerie Magic stamp set from Visible Image and the AALL & Create Totally Dotty Stencil. After spraying my art journal spread with Distress Oxide sprays I aded circles randomly across the background using the stencil and white acrylic paint. I also splattered the background with white paint and Gold Midas Touch before adding some scribbles with a black Stabilo pencil.

Next, I stamped my faerie onto white cardstock and colored her using Dina Wakley Scribble Sticks. I stamped the sentiment onto some turquoise washi tape and adhered it to the page. Unfortunately, I smeared the sentiment a little bit but that's ok. For me, art journaling is about the process and I never stress if there is a mistake as long as I had fun.

After adhering the faerie to my page I heat embossed some of the cool concentric circles with dots onto my page and I heat embossed them in gold. A bunch of embossing powder stuck in the binding and I thought it looked cool so I heat set that too.
