Top Flight Stamps 6th Birthday Celebration!

Hey everybody! We've got a birthday to celebrate today! Topflight Stamps is turning 6 and to celebrate I'm teaming up with some talented designers to showcase some of our favorite products from Topflight Stamps.  You can find a list to the other designers by clicking here to head to the Topflight Stamps blog. We are also celebrating with an Instagram Hop (Click here to head to the IG hop). There is also a generous GIVEAWAY so be sure to enter both here and on Instagram (details are at the bottom of this blog post).

Today we are all working on a "Celebration" theme so you're in for a treat! For my card I've combined the All & Create Coffee First stamp set (dog) with the All & Create Steampunk Stamp (background). I started out by stamping the Steampunk stamp onto white cardstock twice. I stamped it in black on the left and upside down and in gray on the right (not that there's a "right" way to stamp it but I did flip it). Then I inkblended my background with Distress Oxide inks in Candied Apple, Carved Pumpkin and Mustard Seed. When that was done I glued the background to a black cardbase.

Next, I colored the dog with copic markers and colored pencils. I added some extra detail with white gel pen. I cut the dog out by hand and added foam tape to the back.

I wanted the sentiment to say "Celebrate" so I used a gel pen to hand-write it on a strip of black cardstock. Next, I used foam adhesive to attach both the sentiment and dog to the card. To finish it up I added some black enamel dots and some scribbles with a fine-tip Sharpie.

That is all I've got for today you guys today but please make sure to head on over to Topflight Stamps blog so you can check out the other designers who are celebrating with us today.

Have an awesome day!
