Week 36 - 52 Week Mini Art Card / Tag Challenge 2019

The prompt for Week 36 is "Meadow Life" - create your tag based on what you may see in a meadow.

I started my tag by swooshing a plain white tag through two shades of Distress Oxide Inks - Twisted Citron and Tumbled Glass.

I then used Distress Oxide Ink called "Peeled Paint", through a That's Crafty "Mini Fern Stencil".

I used an Inkylicious "Mini Splatter Circle" stamp with Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze" ink t create the background behind the rabbit.

I then stamped the Aall & Create "Rabbit #224" using Brown Versafine Clair in an "Acorn" shade of ink over the splatter.  I then stamped the same image on an off-cut of plain white card.

I painted the colours on the rabbit image using Distress Oxide "Vintage Photo" and "Spun Sugar" shades of ink.  I then cut around the edges and adhered the image over the one stamped on the tag.  I coloured the flowers using Sakura Gelly Roll pens.

I stamped the Visible Image word "Tranquility", part of the "Random Art of Kindness" stamp set in Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze".  I used the same ink to colour the edges of the tag.

Finally using a small flower punch, I punch cut the flowers in various colours and adhered below the rabbit.  I added a little pattern to the flowers and also added some white dots to the circle splatter using a white Signo Pen.  Using a tiny daisy stamp, part of a Papertrey Ink stamp set, I added some red and yellow flowers to the background.

Week 43 - 52 Week Mini Art Card / Tag Challenge 2018

The prompt for Week 43 is "Sunsets".

For my tag, I started off by stamping the bird which was part of a set by AALL & Create #49.  I added a little bit of green to the bird with Promarkers.  Using Distress Inks I then inked the rocks that the bird is standing on.

I then masked the bird and shaded the background in yellows, orange and pink shades of Distress Inks.  Using a Penny Black cling stamp called "Skyward", I stamped the trees in the background using Versafine ink.  I also inked some of the edges of the tag.

Crow and Net Tag

This evening I've made a quick tag using a lovely crow/raven stamp from an AALL & Create set.  The background is coloured with Distress Inks and a Phil Martin stamp called "Botanica" for the net and scroll overlay.
