Anything goes with TOPFLIGHT stamps

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my last November Topflight Stamps shop post.

Irit is here and this is our " make it your favorite style" week.

So toady I made an art page using one big Rubber Dance stamps set that can be found in our Topflight Stamps shop.

I really love doing art pages, but this is my very first time to  leave the stamped images in black and white colors and to arrange them over colorful handmade background.

As you can see the background was made with black texture paste and one artistic stencil and then misted with a mix of three delicate colors.
All flowers from the stamp set were stamped with black pigmented ink and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.
Each and every flower was hand cut and some of them were stamped over with the smallest texture stamps from the same set . Actually I used the small stamps as the background filler and the "white spaces over stamps" filler and it worked in the most perfect  way.

The chipboard title was painted in one of the background colors and I added a few splashes of the hot pink to add more interest to the page.

 Here is a stamp set used to make this page:

 Thanks for reading this blog post and I hope that you liked my artistic project today.

Mixed Media tag with Art Anthology

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my new Mixed Media tag project.

As you already know I am a big fan of all things Steampunk and grungy and this tag is this kind of a project.

 I didn't add the title or saying to this tag  as it's just for art made tag, not anything to really give away or to use for a purpose.
So as you can see the background was made with Art Anthology stencils and different Art Anthology paints, sprays and mediums.
I added a lot of chipboards, mostly from Creative Embellishments with some silk and paper flowers, old lace fabric and a vintage style broach.

 Here are some close- ups to this tag mostly to show you the background.

 And as always - here is a full step by step tutorial  for you to follow and to make the very similar project:
Check out How to Make a Steampunk Mixed Media Tag by Art Anthology on Snapguide. And here is the full  products list for this project:

I hope that you like my Mixed Media tag and would try to do the similar one with gorgeous Art Anthology products.

Your Fearless song art canvas

Hello my dear crafty friends!
Today I am going to share a large canvas that I made just for challenges.
Once or twice a month I take time to free myself from any DT job and I scroll the challenge blogs to find the themes that I love. Then I make a pretty large project and try to combine a few of these challenges.
So here is the first one for September and you should read a bit about this project to understand the concept.

As you can see I made a tribute to one of the most famous all time artists- Sir Elton John.
For a few last days/weeks there were a lot of TV shows that remembered  Princess Diana who passed 20 years ago.
So one of the things that made me to make this canvas was  Elton's version for " Candle in the wind" that he made for  Diana's funeral.
This canvas has a lot of items that are connected to his songs: you can spot the yellow brick road, the candle over the tags and even this English rose from Diana's version of the song.
The title says Create your fearless song and is actually his  all time most popular "Your song".

I made this page with different stencils from all possible companies.
The paper and stickers are from 7 dots.
The chipboards are also from a few companies, but mostly from Creative Embellishments.
The background stamps are from Unity.
And the paints? Whatever I had.
I really love the outcome of my love to this artist and even the photos were scanned from the CD covers that I own.
 I think that I would do some more art pieces in the same style and maybe John Lennon will be the next one.

7 dots- Favorite Artist


More than Words- Grungy and word Fearless



Journey for Scrapki-wyzwaniovo- and this is my artistic journey to my early years that  I make these days.
John Lennon will be the next canvas and so on.

In Flight with Prickley Pear stamps

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my first August post made for Prickley Pear Rubber stamps.

This time it's all about Flight!

So here is my card made with a delicious butterflies stamp set and die cut with matching dies set.

I used Scrapberry's cardstock and Gina K. inks and added Creative Embellishments chipboard piece or at least I think it's from this company.

Stamps used :

Butterfly die
Happy Anniversary red rubber

Summer canvas

This altered canvas was made with Parickley Pear rubber stamp Life doesn't have to be perfect as the statement using Tando Creative  and Tim Holtz stencils, DecoArt texture paste, different mists and Creative Embellishments chipboards. The image is from Tim Holtz Lost relatives set and the background cardstock is from Canvas Corps. I made is totally  monochromatic as lately I am in love with yellow and 50 shades of grey (not the book, the colors only).

 I enter this piece to some web challenges:
