The 100 Day Project 2026 - Day 100



Today, is Day 100 of the 100 Day Project 2026, the final day of this project. This has been a challenge where you spend a short time each day creating, using the mediums of your choice.  Mine is 4x4" card, using collage, stamps and stencils.

For my Day 100 I used two shades of Distress Oxide Inks to create the idea of a sky, using Tumbled Glass and Speckled Egg shades of ink.  Round the edge of the card, I used "Peeled Paint" Distress Oxide Ink.

I used Versafine Clair "Shady Lane", a mid green coloured ink to stamp the Penny Black cling stamp called "Windswept - 40-790".  I then coloured some of the leaves using three shades of Posca Pen, using a dark blue, a green and an aqua shade of acrylic paint pen. I then added gold coloured polka dots between the leaves using a gold gel pen.

Finally, I fussy cut the swallow, from a Dina Wakley collage paper set, this swallow has apeared on all one hundred of my makes for this challenge.  I then added a Tim Holtz "Idea-ology" word sticker saying "throw kindness around like confetti", which I thought was apt with the leaves falling through the air.
