Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay challenge - Day 39

Today is Day 39 of Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay challenge.  This week is all about using charcoal and pastels.

For my card, I started by using the "Permanant Red 340.5" Pan Pastel, blending it in an rough circle in the middle of a square shaped card.

Over the top of the red circle, I lay the Funky Fossil Designs "Buddah Stencil", securing it with a piece of tape.  I then used "Black 800.3" Pan Pastel through the stencil.  I removed the stencil and then gave the surface a waft of hairspray to set the pastels.

Using wet glue, I added Cosmic Shimmer gold gilding flakes from the bottom left hand corner to the top right. I then added splatters of white paint across the surface.

Finally, I mounted the card on to a piece of black card and then added dots of "Copper Pearl" Liquid Pearls around the gilding flakes.  I also added a few dots of gold using a gel pen too.

Tim Holtz / Stampers Anonymous "Time Travelers CMS157" Tag

I am still not 100% right after my pneumonia, which has meant I've not really been in the right frame of mind for crafting.  

Today, the weather is so bad, with raid hurtling against the window, crafting seemed to be the natural thing to turn to. It was so lovely to spend a little time at my craft desk, but I am totally exhausted now, so will likely take a nap later.  Anyway, the result of my little crafting session is the grungy looking tag.

To make this tag, I used some patterned paper by Funky Fossil Designs, from their "Textures" pad for the background.

I inked the edges in Versafine Clair "Acorn" brown ink.

I then added some darker blue areas using Versafine Clair "Blue Belle" ink, applied with a finger dabber.

Over the top of that using a Brilliance "gold" coloured ink, I stamped the shapes using the Funky Fossil Designs stamp set called "Abstractions".

Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I stamped the gentleman, which is part of a Tim Holtz / Stampers Anonymous stamp set called "Time Travelers CMS157".  I then stamped the image again on a piece of white card.

Using the image on the white card, I painted areas using Distress Oxide Inks, using "Victorian Velvet "for the skin, "Tumbled Glass" for the eyes and the shirt and "Gathered Twigs" for the jacket and waistcoat.  I fussy cut the image and inked the edges using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, then using wet glue, stuck the image on to the tag over the stamped image.

I dug out my Cosmic Shimmer "Summer Meadow" gilding flakes and added some to the surface of the tag.

I used two Tim Holtz / Stampers Anonymous Idea-ology sets for the word stickers, using the "Small Talk" and "Chit Chat" sets.

Finally, I mounted the tag on to dark blue card, drawing round the edge with a gold gel pen.  I also drew around the word stickers using the same pen too.

Funky Fossil "Merry" Gift Tag

In my craft room, I have a drawer of odds and ends which I feel may come in handy in the future.  I guess I may be a bit of a hoarder?  Anyway, the drawer was struggling to close, so I decided to delve deeper and found some bits to make this Christmas gift tag. 

I picked up a piece of red cardstock that at some stage, I had run through the Big Shot in a Sizzix/StampingUp! Cable Knit embossing folder.  So I decided that this would be my base for a couple of tags.

I also found a section of what was originally a piece of double sided sticky paper/card, on one side it looked like I had been experimenting with two different shades of Cosmic Shimmer Gilding Flakes, it's in copper and gold shades.  I decided to run this sheet through the Big Shot, using a "Merry" die from Funky Fossil Designs, it's part of their "Festive Words Die Set". I also ran some white card through using the same die.  I then stuck the two layers together to make a more solid sentiment then mounted it on top of the embossed and layered tag.

It was nice to make a really quick project, especially as it was from bits I had put by for "I might need it in the future use".

Memory Box "Pippi Butterfly" gilded birthday card

I recently watched a youtube video on using gilding flakes by Christine Stokes.  As I have some flakes in my stash, I decided to give it a try.  Here's the link to the video.

I had two pots of Cosmic Shimmer Gilding Flakes (Summer Meadow - gold and Silver Dream) both pots have varigated colours in them.  I used two widths of double sided sticky tape for the vertical line, then die cut into a square using a die with a decorative edge.

I used two Memory Box dies "Pippi Butterfly - 98508" and "Isabella Butterfly - 98507).  First cutting in white card and then cutting a double sided sticky sheet and applying the flakes to one of the sticky surfaces.

I used Wow! Rich Gold embossing powder, heat set, for the Waffle Flower sentiment which is part of their "Essential Sentiments" stamp set.

Funky Fossil Designs "Scribble Hare" tag

Today I have had a play with one of the new wildlife stamps from Funky Fossil Designs called "Scribble Hare" designed for Funky Fossil by "Mo's Art UK". 

I started with colouring the background with what I think of as hot colours, using the following Distress Oxide Inks:  Spiced Marmalade, Rusty Hinge, Crackling Campfire, Barn Door and Candied Apple.

Once dry, I stamped the Funky Fossil Designs "Scribble Hare" in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, immediately sprinkling Wow! Clear Embossing Powder over the stamped image and then heat setting the image.

I then used the Funky Fossil Slimiline "Brick Wall Upright" stencil with another two Distress Oxide Inks:  Barn Door and Aged Mahogany.

Using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink, with a script stamp from the Funky Fossil "Musings" stamp set I lightly stamped areas of the tag.

Using a Quickie Glue pen and Cosmic Shimmer Gold Gilding flakes, I adhered little flecks of gold over the surface of the tag.

I then masked the stamped hare image and splattered white Posca Pen over the surface of the tag.

Once the white paint was dry, I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne Ink" to darken the edges of the tag.  I gave the tag a blast of the heat gun to dry the surface, then used a metallic gold pen loosely around the edges of the tag.

Finally, I used a white Gelly Roll Pen to add light areas to the eyes and whiskers.

Lavinia Stamps "Feather" and gilding flake card

I've been playing with a Lavinia Stamp this morning, stamping the "Feather" in Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink over a Distress ink and stencilled background (using the Lavinia "Posy stencil".

I have added gilding flakes to area of the card to provide additional dimension.

I have used a Simon Says Stamp from thier "Tiny Words - Birthday" for the sentiment.

Week 40 - 52 Week Mini Art Card / Tag Challenge 2019

The prompt for Week 40 is "Favourite Colours".

Some of my favourite colours are greens and blues, add a little purple then it is spot on for me, hence the colours I have used on my tag.

For my tag, I used Dylusion Spray inks in London Blue and Fresh Lime.

I used a Distress Oxide Ink in the shade of Wilted Violet through a Funky Fossil stencil called "Circle Blast".

Across the surface of the tag I have adhered Cosmic Shimmer gilding flakes in shades of gold, silver and copper.

I've added dimension with dots of Liquid Pearls in the shades of White Opal and Blackberry.

Finally, I added a ClarityStamps word sticker to the base of the tag saying "Surround Yourself With Colour".
