Hi friends. It has been a hot minute since I've posted here, and I am so sorry for that. I was really burnt out and needed a crafty and social media break. But I couldn't say no when Topflight Stamps reached out and asked if I would participate in their 8th birthday blog and IG hop. I am hoping to get back into some crafting and sharing here. Fingers crossed!
It's Topflight Stamps' 8th birthday and to celebrate, we’ve teamed up with some great designers to showcase celebratory projects using the unique products available at Topflight Stamps.

Now onto my card - I just got the Hummingbird Large and Hummingbird Small stamps from Lavinia and wanted to use them. To get started, I took 3 colors of Shimmer Pearl ink from Spectrum Noir, linked below, and went direct to paper with the pads, adding the colors in different spots. I love the look this gives and this ink, while you can't really see it in person, is so shimmery and gorgeous.
After my panels were dry, I stamped both the Hummingbird Large and Hummingbird Small stamps onto the background using Versafine Claire Nocturne ink. I stamped a sentiment from my stash and then rounded the corners. I added foam tape to the back and mounted the panels on some purple A2 card bases.
I thought about adding in some embellishments but decided to keep the cards as is.
