52 Week Mini Art Card/Tag Challenge
The prompt for Week 15 is "Easter".
For this week I decided to go for a nest with eggs. I used the Stampin' Up "Swirly Scribbles" die in two layers to create the nest. The leaves and eggs were also cut using the same set. I stuck patterned paper to a tag and then inked it in various shades. I then positioned and glued the dies on.
Finally I stamped the sentiment, using a Penny Black set called "Garden Friends".
Playing with Panpastels, I created a background for this tag in my favourite colours - blues and greens. I used a Stampin' Up stamp from their "Butterfly Basics" set. The verse is from a Stampers Anonymous stamp set.
I finished the tag by adding a silver coloured ribbon and silver coloured sticky gem stones.
Willow, our three year old Grandaughter was in an Easter concert yesterday, dressed as a bunny. Unfortunately, because we live so far away, we miss out on the school activities, but we do get to see video clips thanks to moblile phones. I made this card to congratulate Willow on her performance.
I used a Penny Black stamp from their set called "Garden Friends" colouring it with watercolour pencils. Using a Memorybox "Stitched Rectangle Layers" die, I cut the rectangle then mounted it onto patterned paper and then onto a card blank.
I recently purchased a little set of hexagon dies, so decided today I would try them out.
For this card I chose patterned paper from the First Editions "Paper Flowers" paper stack which I purchased from The Range. I cut the paper into hexagons using the Xcut "Nesting Hexagon Die Set" which was a really cheap price at under £3.
I positioned the hexagons on a card blank and glued them into position. I then found a pre cut die cut "thanks" word (originally cut using a Stampin' Up die from the "Hello You" thinlits set). glueing that into position. Finally I added some sticky backed pearls.
For this tag I've gone for a grunge style. I find it so hard to create a more informal style.
I started off with an off-cut of patterned paper in a cream colour and added assorted stamped images including using Stampin' Up "Gorgeous Grunge", Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous stamps and various others.
In my scrap box, I found a couple of Memorybox "Chloe stem" die cuts I hadn't needed for a previous project.
Today I played with some Spellbinders D-lites "Blooms One" die set today, creating this card with three of the flowers made from the set.
I have also used a sentiment by Stampin' Up from their "Butterfly Basics" Set.
The prompt for Week 17 of the 52 Week Art Card/Tag Challenge 2017 is "Trees & Leaves".
Time seems to have run away with me this week, so I have made a very simple tag. For the trees at the base of the tag I have used a stamp from the Stampin' Up set called "Lovely As A Tree". The stamp in the frame is also by Stampin' Up and is from their "Faith In Nature" set.
