52 Week Mini Art Card/Tag Challenge
It's time for another challenge on the "My Time To Craft Challenge Blog". Challenge #393 is "Mother's Card or Female Card". If you do get the opportunity, please do pop over to the blog to check out the fab makes by my Design Team colleagues or even take part yourself.
I decided to go for a female card rather than a Mother's Day card for this challenge.
I used several shades of Distress Ink (Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch, Mermain Lagoon and Peacock Feathers), stamped onto a large stamping block, lightly spritzed with water and then stamped onto card to create the gorgeous coloured background.
I used an IndigoBlu stamp, which I think I received free from possibly a magazine, for the lady with the hair image and a sentiment from a Stampin' Up set called "Endless Birthday Wishes" both were stamped in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" ink. I added a few dots of silver glitter within the hair area using a Signo Pen.
The prompt for Week 5 is "Geometric Shapes".
For my tag, I started by making a background of three shades of Distress Oxide Inks: Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron and Tumbled Glass. Once dry, using a Visible Image stencil called "Two Tone" I covered the service with dots of Twisted Citron Distress Ink.
Using a Versafine Clair ink pad called "Paradise", I stamped concentric circles from the Visible Image "Shape It Up" stamp set across the surface of the tag.
In Versafine "Stormy Grey" ink, I stamped three images of artist supplies, using IndigoBlu sets: Collector's Edition no.17,18 and 20 (Pencils, Brushes and Paint Tubes. Which I then die cut into circle shapes. I also die cut different blue cardstock in different size circles.
Returning to the stamped, circle images, I coloured them using Distress Inks, using a silver Signo Pen on some areas too.
I arranged the blue discs and the stamped images into a pleasing arrangement and stuck them into position. Some are flat, others are elevated on foam pads. To finish, I lightly inked the edges of the tag.
