Week 48 - 52 Week Mini Art Card / Tag Challenge 2018

The prompt for Week 48 is:  "Baby/New Arrival".

My tag for this week has had many stages, resulting in some ending in the bin.  I have settled on this one, but I may well make another one when I am feeling more into it.

I created a background of Distress Oxide inks in various colours.  Stamped the baby image (part of a Visible Image set called Bloom and Grow).  I then stamped the light bulb shape around the baby (an Inkylicious stamp) - both stamped in Versarfine Clair "Twilight" shade.  

I masked both the baby and the edges of the bulb and stamped the stars using a Lavinia Stamps pound stamp.

On an offcut of the Oxide background I stamped the "Naturally Homegrown" sentiment, which is part of a Graphic 45 set called "Home Sweet Home 2" and die cut it to shape.

Using a blank tag, I covered it with an off-cut of Shenandoah paper and using the Lavinia "Sacred Spells" stamp added the text in Versafine ink.

Week 15 - 52 Week Mini Art Card / Tag Challenge 2018

So this week has been a mixed bag for me.  This cough/cold has now been with me for over a fortnight and I've passed it to Hubby too.  However on the upside, our third grandchild was born, a beautiful boy who is still waiting for a name.

The prompt for Week 15 is "Light / Shine"

For my tag, I started off with a piece of yellow cardstock and stamped the Inkylicious light bulb onto it using a black Versafine ink.  I then used a Stamper's Anonymous sunray stamp using a Tim Holtz Distress Oxide in "Carved Pumpkin" and then over stamped some of the rays using a Stazon ink in a "Claret" shade.  I then cut the light bulb shape out and inked the edges in black.

I then cut a piece of grey cardstock into a tag shape and stamped the raindrops onto it using an Inkylicious stamp.  I coloured areas of the droplets in with a white Signo pen to replicate light hitting it.

Having already decided on the saying, I typed, printed and cut it up, adding a little black pen frame to accentuate the words.
