The Crafting Niche 52 Week Mini Art Card/Tag Challenge 2025:
This is a weekly challenge. I provide you with a prompt/theme each Sunday morning through out the year. The challenge is very relaxed. You can do as much or as little as you like. You can create cards, tags, Artist Trading Cards (ATC's) or index cards, the choice is yours. You just go with what ever is in your head at the time. You can stamp, get inky, use patterned papers, texture, embellish it is all down to you.
There is a dedicated private Facebook Group, with a lovely bunch of people who are already sharing their makes from previous challenges. You can find the group by clicking this link. I'd love you to join in.
The prompt for Week 26 is "America - red, white and blue"
Here we are on Week 26 of the challenge - the half way point. How quickly is the year passing!
Here's a photo of my first 26 tags of 2025.
For my week 26, "America - Red white & blue" tag, I started with a white tag. I thought I had red ink in my caravan stash - turned out I didn't, so I had to improvise by using a red and a blue coloured pencil through a Woodware stencil called "Pampa" to get the pale coloured background pattern.
I then tore sections of a couple of Dina Wakley collage papers (the face and the alphabet) and glued into position over the top of the stencilled pattern. I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the months and the dates, which are part of the Tim Holtz / Stampers Anonymous "Tidbits - CMS488" stamp set. I also used a striped stencil with "Watering Can"
Ranger Archival Ink for an extra layer.
Next, I painted the eyes a light blue colour. I used a yellow Posca Pen roung the edges of "July" and the number "4". I splattered redm white and blue Posca Pen paint across the surface of the tag. Then used water colour paint in blue and red round the edges of the tag.
Finally I added a word sticker saying "Let's Celebrate" which is part of the Funky Fossil Designs "Sentimental Sticker Stack".
