Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge - Day 64

Today is Day 64 of the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge.  There is a new prompt for this week "Dollar Tree Finds" but as I'm in the UK and don't have a Dollar Tree shop I'll make a card a day with a varied theme.  

I started with a sheet of patterned paper from a Funky Fossil Designs paper stack, which I seem to recall was called "Kaleidoscope".  I cut the paper down and stuck it on to some bright yellow card then on to a piece of white card.

Using some of the same white and yellow card, I cut the flowers, using the Funky Fossil Designs "Doodle Blooms" die set.  I coloured the larger petals of the middle flower by adding a touch of "Squeezed Lemonade" Distress Oxide Ink, then stuck the elements on to the card using wet glue. Then added some "Outrageous" Liquid Pearls to the middle of the flowers.

Finally, on a piece of white card, I stamped the sentiment of "Hello Sunshine" using Versafine Clair "Charming Pink" ink and a sentiment from the Funky Fossil "Small Print" stamp set.

Funky Fossil "Comic Book" Birthday Card

I've mentioned it a few times, that I struggle making cards for males.  I saw the Funky Fossil Designs "Comic Book stamp and die set" and fell in love with it.  Alas, it was sold out, but Sarah must have found more stock, as the next time I looked it was on her site, so I ordered one along with three stencils which I felt would work well with the stamp set.

This afternoon I got to play with the stamps and dies, they are everything I was hoping for.  They're going to make male cards so much easier for me now.

I used some bright yellow paper, stamping the comic style explosion shape in the new Versafine Clair red colour called "Strawberry".  I then stamped the shape again in white card, fussy cutting the shape and then sticking the white over the yellow central area.

I then mounted the yellow paper on to a piece of dark blue card and then on to a white card blank.

Next, using Versafine Clair "Blue Belle" ink, I stamped the word "Boom" on white card and used the matching die to cut it to shape,  I added white foam pads to the underside of the word so that it has a 3D look to it.  Finally, using the same ink, I added the "Happy Birthday" greeting, which is also part of the "Comic Book Words" stamp set.

Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge - Day 63

Today, is Day 63 of the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay challenge.  It is the last day using the prompt of "Collage".  I have found some days more testing than others for this prompt.

For my collage, I have used three strips of Washi Tape by Funky Fossil Designs, paired with off cuts of patterned paper from two paper collections by Funky Fossil Designs (Patina and Textures).

I've added ink to some of the torn edges and also used sections of book print too.  I die cut a tree using the Funky Fossil Designs "Tree Silhouette Die" but decided I prefered the white side to the patterned side.  This then prompted me to add more white to the piece by adding dots and dashes using a white Posca Pen.

Finally, I stamped tiny sections of text using a stamp from the Funky Fossil "Musings" stamp set, stamped in Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink.

Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge - Day 62

Today is Day 62 of the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay challenge.  This week is all about "Collage".

I used a postcard from a product I'd purchased a few years ago for the lighthouse and boat image, which I stuck on to a piece of white card. I edged the light house using a charcoal pencil and a white gel pen.

I used "Tumbled Glass" Distress Oxide ink to colour the white card, then inked the edges of the card using two shades of Verafine Clair Inks, using "Blue Belle" and "Bali Blue" shades.

Next, I stamped Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink to stamp some text in the background.  I actually used a Lavinia stamp called "See a fairy"as it has a nice vintage script.

Along the base of the card, I glued on a decorative ribbon strip with a loopy design and with peal beads attached.

Above the decorative ribbon, I added a strip of Washi Tap, with shell designs.  I then stuck on some tiny sea shells and coloured beads.

Finally, I added some Nuvo "Diamond" sequins to add some lovely shimmer and a Tim Holtz Idea-ology word sticker, saying "The most beautiful thing".

Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge - Day 61

Today is Day 61 of the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay challenge.  This week is all about collage.  

I've raided my odds and ends drawers to make this collage.  I've used an off cut of a 12x12 scrapbook paper.  A piece of vellum with a die cut circle in it, tissue paper with a butterfly design, a turquoise coloured Posca Pen some small buttons and some sticky backed pearls.  Finally, adding a Tim Holtz Idea-ology word sticker saying "the loveliest things".

Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge - Day 60

 

Today is Day 60 of the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay challenge.  This week is about "Collage".

For my collage, I have used off-cuts of old scrap booking patterned paper that I have had in my stash for more than fifteen years!  I cut them into strips and layered them across a 6"x 5" card.  By memory the brands used are Crate Paper and My Minds Eye.  Then with the remaining papers I punched circles and glued them over the striped background.

I mounted the colourful background on to a piece of white card and then stuck a Tim Holtz "Paper Doll" of a wedding couple.   Finally, I added a Tim Holtz "Idea-ology word sticker staying "never meant to last".

Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge - Day 59

Today is Day 59 of the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay challenge.  This week is all about "Collage".

For my collage card, I have used a mixture of patterned paper and a hand made background.

I've stamped various tickets from the Globeland "Vintage" stamp set in three shades of Versafine Clair inks, using Nocturne, Medieval Blue and Blue Belle.  I inked the edges in the same ink and coloured/painted the large ticket in the background using Derwent Inktense Pencis and a white gel pen.

Finally, I used a stamp from a Tim Holtz / Stampers Anonymous stamp set called "The Journey" for the "Enjoy the journey" sentiment, stamped in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.
