52 Week Mini Art Card / Tag Challenge 2026 - Week 2

The Crafting Niche 52 Week Mini Art Card/Tag Challenge 2026:

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 2 is "Acetate"

For my tag, I decide to use white acrylic paint, applied with a make up sponge, through the Funky Fossil Designs "Snow Storm" Stencil on a sheet of clear acetate cut to tag size which I secured with ribbon, over the top of the dark blue tag.

For the tag below the acetate, I started with a plain white tag, covering it in three shades of Distress Oxide Inks.  The colours I used are Blueprint Sketch, Prize Ribbon and Chipped Sapphire at the top of the tag.  I used a heat gun to ensure it was fully dry before stamping on it.

I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the Crafty Individuals CI-495 Perching Wagtail cling stamp.  I usd the same ink to edge the tag and then a gold coloured gel pen to add highlights to some of the foliage.  I also added a touch of pastel pencil to the bird.
