It's Tuesday, my day to share a project created for Topflight Stamps. This week my teammates and I are focusing on Winter or Christmas. I've created a daft wintry scene with the skiing bird from the All Mad Here Unmounted Red Rubber Stamp Set and the flying hippo from the Jungle Animals Unmounted Red Rubber Stamp Set — both by Katzelkraft.
Here it is!

Instructions:
- Cut a piece of blue 12x12 cardstock in half. Score one piece at 6" and fold to form a 6" square card. Set aside.
- Using a stamping platform, stamp the skiing bird from the All Mad Here Unmounted Red Rubber Stamp Set and the flying hippo from the Jungle Animals Unmounted Red Rubber Stamp Set with Tuxedo Black Memento ink twice — onto white cardstock and repositionable sticker paper.
- Fussy-cut the sticker paper versions and place them over their counterparts on the image panel as masks.
- Cut a piece of epositionable sticker paper and place it under the images to create a ski slope and protect the bottom part of the image panel.
- Sponge Summer Sky and London Fog Memento inks over the masked images onto the image panel to create a cloudy sky.
- When moderately happy with the coverage and blending, lift all masks.
- Use Copic markers to color the bird, his skis, the flying hippo, and the snowy slope.*
- Use a Gelly Roll Bold Line Stardust Clear Glittering Ink Pen to add glitter and shimmer to the ski slope.
- Using a stamping platform, position the snowflakes from the Snowflakes Clear Polymer Stamp Set (Lavinia Stamps) and the bursts from the Snowflakes Clear Polymer Stamp Set facedown on the image panel.
- Press the platform's lid onto the back of the stamps and lift.
- Ink the stamps with Silvery Shimmer Delicata ink and stamp.
- Clean and dry the stamps,
- Re-position the snowflakes facedown on the image panel.
- Press the platform's lid onto the back of the stamps and lift.
- Ink the stamps with Silvery Shimmer Delicata ink and stamp.
- Replace Steps #11 through 14 to fill the sky with snowflakes.
- If there are still gaps, repeat Steps #8 14 with the smaller flakes from the Winter Snowflakes Clear Stamp Set by Hobby Art Ltd.
- Remove the image panel from the platform and heat set the snowflakes. They won't melt!
- Use Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko to stamp "Uh Oh", "Zoom", and the "Season of Surprise" onto white cardstock.
- Use dies to cut the sentiments, then edge with Silvery Shimmer Delicata ink.
- Adhere the sentiments as shown.
- Trim the image panel to 5.75" square, edge it with Silvery Shimmer Delicata ink, and heat set the image panel.
- Adhere the image panel to the reserved blue 6" square card.
Notes:
- I'm really not happy with the way the bird was colored but I had fubarred the card twice already so I had to let go of my inner Virgo. If you must know, my Copic marker puked all over the colored hippo once and then I dropped my inkpad facedown onto the image panel.
- Next time I'll color his body with soft greys and lighter colors.
Thanks for visiting today!
