Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge - Day 35

Today is Day 35 of Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge.  It's the last day of creating texture. This is a large piece for me.  It measures 27cm square. I've used Clarity Stamps and stencils.

I started with white card, using Ranger "Opaque Crackle Texture Paste" through the Clarity Stamps "Squiggly Round Stencil #118". I used a heat gun to accelerate the drying and crackle process, so that I could move on to the next stage.

Next, I used three shades of Ranger Archival Inks, using Sunflower, Tiger Lily and Poppy colours through the Clarity Stamps "Three Blooms Stencil" around the edge of the textured area and off the edge of the card.

In the top left and bottom right hand corner, I multi stamped the Clarity  "Fly Away Stamp Set" using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.

I mounted the piece on to red, white and then black card.

Next, I used Black and white Enamel Accents to add dots across the surface of the card.  I then decided to add some  dots of "Ruby Red" Liquid Pearls too.

I used a Clarity "Word Sticker" from their "Word Sticker Collection", mounted on to black card and then placed in the middle of the card, using black foam sticky pads to elevate the "Thank you for being my friend" sentiment.

Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge - Day 17

It's Day 17 of Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay challenge.  This week the theme is to use a palette knife.

I found a backgroud in my stash that had paint splodges across it, so decided that this would be the base of my tag, sticking the patterned paper to a tag to give it a bit more substance.

Next, I used the Ranger "Opaque Crackle Texture Paste", applied with a palette knife through the Tim Holtz / Stampers Anonymous "Bubble Layering Stencil - THS138', just keeping it to the right hand side of the tag.  I then used my heat gun to accelerate the crackle process.

I used two shades of Distress Oxide Ink to colour the crackle area, using "Victorian Velvet" and "Iced Spruce".  I then Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to ink the edges of the tag, before mounting it on to a piece of black card and cutting to size.

Finally I added two words to the tag "Say" and "Something", both are from the Tim Holtz Idea-ology "Big Chat" word sticker booklet.  I stuck them on to black card, cut to size and then used black foam pads to elevate the words.
