They are offering our lucky random winner a $25 gift certificate. Topflight Stamps sells lots of awesome International stamps with loads of great mixed media stamps, stencils and paints.

I used Paperartsy Stamps and Paints from Topflight Stamps for my project.

PaperArtsy Paints

I created a brayered background using the more pink and purple paints. Then I stamps with Versafine Archival Black Ink and colored in the stamps with the PaperArtsy Fresco paints. I cut out the heart from a journal page where I had been cleaning my brayer so it had the same colors. Then I sprayed it with Dina Wakley Ruby Shimmer Spray covered it with Prismacolor glitter pen. I adhered it to the gesso board from Dick Blick Art Supplies with foam tape. Then I adhered the Tim Holtz word strip with Elmers glue pen. I also went over the border scallops with matching Prismacolor glitter pens. 

PaperArtsy Love Mini Pallet

I created this Valentine's mini pallet (Maya Road) using PaperArtsy Emma Godfrey stamps and paints and Archival Inks. To finish it off I covered the heart in Tattered Angels Glitter Glam glitter paint.  I was inspired to enter the PaperArtsy challenge by this post by Tracy Scott.

 I took some pictures along the way of the process. Here they are. 

Lawnscaping Challenge #75 Dots & Heart

I made this card for the current Lawnscaping Challenge #75 - to use Dots and/or Hearts. I used this cute heart paper and these fun white enamel hearts that were in my Studio Calico Kit that came yesterday. All the stamps are Lawn Fawn and I colored the images with PrismaColor Markers and blended with Gamsol. I needed a Valentine for my friends 6 year old son so I thought this would be perfect for him. He loves dogs. Thanks for stopping by!

Here's my card:
