52 Week Mini Art Card / Tag Challenge 2025 - Week 28

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 28 "Mixed Media"

I started with a white tag using two Element Inks (Lemon Drop and Soft Cygnet) shades to cover the surface.  I then put water droplets across the surface, mopping them up with kitchen towel to create a mottled look.

I used "Leaf Green" Ranger Archival Ink through the Tracy Evans "Snippet "Fronds" stencil - SS5) across the surface of the tag.

I used "Watering Can" Ranger Archival Ink to stamp small areas of script.  I used the Tracy Evans "Background Elements - TE11" stamp, not mounted on to a block, but using finger pressure on the back of the stamp to add tiny areas of text.  I then added some black splatters of Posca Pen.

Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink I stamped the Tracy Evans flowers, which are part of the "Garden Elements - TE30" stamp set, stamped on to some white kitchen roll.  I then fussy cut the flowers, sticking the petal layers on to the tag.

Finally, I added some dots of green and white Liquid Pearls (Prickly Pear and White Opal) and added a word sticker saying "be awesome today".
