Tiffany Johnson Creative #100dayartplay Challenge - Day 84

Today is Day 84 of the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay challenge.  This is the last days using the "inks" challenge.

I used a page from an old hymn book for the background of this piece.  I positioned one of the Tim Holtz / Stampers Anonymous "Moon Masks" in the middle of the page and coloured the outer area of the moon, using four shades of Distress Oxide Inks (Blueprint Sketch, Prize Ribbon, Chipped Sapphire and Black soot), applied with blending brushes.

With the solid mask still in position, I used Dr PH Martin's bleed proof white paint with a fan shaped paint brush to create the white splatters, replicating stars.

I removed the solid moon mask, replacing it with the one showing the moon craters.  Through this stencil I applied Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink with a finger dabber.

Around the edge of the moon I used a white pastel pencil to give the impression of rays of light coming from the moon.

Next, using Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink, I stamped the sentiment, which is part of the Tim Holtz / Stampers Anonymous cling stamp set called "Phrases 2".  The sentiment saying "Every possibility begins with the courage to imagine..."

Funky Fossil Designs "Good Vibes" Camper Van Birthday Card

A quick card featuring a camper van by Funky Fossil Designs.  The stamp set is called "Good Vibes".  I've stamped the camper van and the sentiment, part of the "Stripped Back Sentiments" also by Funky Fossil Designs in Versafine Clair "Blue Belle" ink.  I've added colour to the van using some bright Posca Pens.

Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge - Day 83

Today, is Day 83 of the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay challenge.  This week is all about inks.  I've gone for a clean and simple look for this sympathy card.

I have used a paint brush to paint the background colour using three shades of Distress Oxide Inks.  I have used Tumbled Glass, Spun Sugar and Scattered Straw shades, randomly applied to the white background.

Using an off cut of white card, I die cut the flower stem.  Sorry I'm not sure who makes the die.  I then used a wet glue to stick into position.

I then stamped the Waffle Flower "Essential Sentiments" thinking of you greeting, using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.  I mounted the card on to a piece of soft grey coloured card and then on to a white card blank, before adding a few dots of white Ranger "Enamel Accents".

Andy Skinner "I'll be your umbrella" Card

 

I was up very early for some reason this morning, so decided to craft, making this card.

I started by masking off the edges of a piece of white card, marking on the masking tape the approximate placement where the stamp would be.  I used a technique Eileen Godwin shared a couple of years back, where you create lines of colour off the edge of a piece of paper/acetate/ruler.  To do this, I used four shades of Ranger Archival Inks, using Sky Blue, Garden Patina, Leaf Green and Watering Can.

I then stamped the image, which is an Andy Skinner stamp called "I'll be your umbrella", purchased from Country View Crafts.  I used Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink to stamp in.  I added colour to the stamped image using Derwent Inktense pencils.

Andy Skinner "Let's go fly a kite" Card

I was super excited to open an order from Country View Crafts, which contained a couple of the new Andy Skinner stamps.  In my head, I had a sepia / vintage image, so that's what I went for.

I stamped the image using the new Versafine Clair "Portobello" brown ink.  I then coloured the card using various shades of Distress Oxide Inks, including:  Lumberjack Plaid, Tea Dye, Tumbled Glass, Gathered Twig, Rusty Hinge, Victorian Velvet and Faded Jeans.

I inked the edges of the card using two colours of Versafine Clair Inks, using Acorn and Pinecone.

Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge - Day 82

Today, is Day 82 of the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay challenge.  This week is all about using inks.

For this card, I have used lots of Ranger Archival Inks with stamps and stencils from Visible Image. 

I used the Visible Image "Strobes" stencil with two shades of Ranger Archival Inks, using "Sunflower" and "Tiger Lily" shades of inks.

I then used the Visible Image "Supernova" stencil with "Monarch Orange" Archival Ink.  I then used the same ink through the Visible Image "Leafy" stencil.

Next, I used the Visible Image "Halftone" stencil with "Sunflower" Archival Ink.

Next, I used "Cornflower Blue" Archival Ink through the Visible Image "Ripples" stencil.

I then used the Visible Image "Bloom & Grow" stamp set, to stamp the finger print and the baby, using the new Versafine Clair ink called "Very Peri".  I used the same ink for the Visible Image "Scripted Streets" stamps and the "Creative Chaos" stamp set for the dots/circles.

I went around the edges of the card using "Monarch Orange" Archival Ink blending towards the middle.  I then edged that in Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink.

I used the "Twilight" ink again to stamp the "Bloom and grow" sentiment across the page.

I added a few white and blue lines to the "strobes" area using Derwent Inktense pencils.

I went around the stamped baby image using a black fine liner pen as I wanted it to stand out a little more.

Finally, I used white and orange Posca Pens across the card to add extra depth of colour.

Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge - Day 81

Today, is Day 81 of the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay challenge.  This week is all about inks - my favourite!

For my piece, I have used the new Versafine Clair "Sand Dune" ink to stamp the Funky Fossil Designs  "Tree Rings" in the background.

I've then used Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" green ink to stamp the Funky Fossil Designs "Ferns" and the sentiment.  I used the same ink for the edges of the card too.

Finally, adding some dots of Liquid Pearls in an "Avocado" shade.
