52 Week Mini Art Card / Tag Challenge 2026 - Week 9

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 9 is "Handbags & Gladrags".

I used a plain tag for the base and tore strips of patterend paper from the Prima Marketing "Tea Thyme" 6x6 paper stack, inking the torn edges of the paper using "Bundled Sage" Distress Oxide ink, before sticking on to the tag.  I then inked the edges of the tag using "Brushed Cordroy" Distress Oxide Ink.

I used the Funky Fossil Designs "Vintage Script" stamp to finger stamp areas of script using Versafine Clair "Acorn" brown ink.

I found a suitable Tim Holtz "paperdoll" image and one of his frames and used these together with one of his word stickers.  I coloured the paperdoll image with Derwent Inktense Pencils. then inked the edges of the frame with Versafine Clair "Acorn" brown ink.

On the computer I typed the sentiment of "Dressed to impress" printed it out, cut it down and coloured it with shades of "Bundled Sage" and "Brushed Corduroy" to give it a vintage look.
