Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge - Day 55

Today is Day 55 of the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay challenge.  This week is all about using the gel press.

I've used Pan Pastels on the gel plate with three stencils by Funky Fossil Designs.  The stencils I have used are:  Retro Starburst, Peony Panel and Distressed Diamonds. For this card, I have only used half of this gel plate print.

Using Verasfine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I stamped the figure and sentiment, which is part of the Funky Fossil "Serenity" stamp set.

I created a dark ground area for the figure, by using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink and the torn edge of a piece of paper.  I outlined the figure using a white gel pen. Finally adding Versafine Clair "Strawberry" to ink the edges of the card.

Funky Fossil "Angel Wings" Sympathy Card

Sadly, I suspect I will be making more sympathy cards in the coming weeks.

I have used Gesso through the Funky Fossil "Angel Wings Stencil".  Once the Gesso was dry I've then used three shades of Distress Inks, starting with "Broken China" in the middle, followed by "Stormy Sky" and finally Wilted Violet.

I positioned the Funky Fossil "Retro Starburst Stencil" over the card and using the corner of a wet wipe, wiped the ink away through the stencil to reveal off-white stars.

I used a white Posca pen to highlight areas and stamped the sentiment in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.

Funky Fossil - Adventure Tag

Over the weekend, I made this tag using an assortment of Funky Fossil Design stencils and the "Adventure" stamp set.

I started the tag by tearing a couple of pages from an old Welsh hymn book and sticking sections on to a plain tag.  Once the glue was dry, I covered the printed text with two shades of Distress Oxide Inks:  Salty Ocean and Cracked Pistachio, leaving some of the yellowing pages from the book showing.

Using Versafine Clair "Twilight", dark blue ink I stamped the main image, which is from the Funky Fossil "Adventure" clear stamp set.

Using That's Crafty "Black Texture Paste" and the Funky Fossil "Fierce Words" stencil I added the words "Wild" and "Beauty".

I then used the Funky Fossil "Micro Dots" stencil with the "Blue Print Sketch" Distress Oxide ink to create the dotty look.

I used the Funky Fossil "Retro Starburst" stencil with a silver texture past to create the stars, edging them with a black fine liner pen.

I added the words "Explore" and "Adventure" , both are part of the "Adventure" stamp set.

I added sparkle to the water and to the stars by using a selection of Posca pens, Signo glitter pens and Sakura gelly roll pens.
