52 Week Mini Art Card/Tag Challenge
Week 9 of the 52 Week Mini Art Card/Tag Challenge and the prompt for this week is: "My Obsession".
I have realised I have many obsessions. I'm a bit OCD, I have a thing about crafting, cooking, reading and more recently running but one that I have always had is arriving somewhere on time. So this is what I decided to do my tag on.
I inked the background in various shades of beige. Then used the Stampin' Up, "Gorgeous Grunge" to stamp the splat marks in a dark red shade. I don't recall where the stamp of the timepiece came from as I've had it for over ten years. I used an off-cut of a honeycomb die which I found in my scraps box and used stickers for the wording.
Playing with some pre stamped images using Stampin' Up "By The Tide" and By The Seashore" stamps, I made this tag.
Idly playing with paper while listening to the TV, I made this card.
The textured section uses the Stampin' Up "Seaside" embossing folder. The sea shells are stamps from the "By The Tide" Stampin' Up set. The sentiment is a stamp produced by Papertrey Ink and is part of their "Everyday Classics" set.
So here we are on Week 8 of the 2017 Mini Art Card/Tag Challenge.
The prompt for Week 8 is "Water".
Earlier in the week, I started writing down ideas for what I was going to do for this prompt. My page was full, so it was hard to decide. On checking the dictionary for a definition the words "Vital For Life" seemed to jump out to me so that decided the path I would take for this tag.
I stamped some waterdrops on the tag using "Designs By Ryn" stamp. I tore a strip of patterned paper and stuck it to the left hand side and then added some splash marks using "Stampin' Up "Gorgeous Grunge" stamp.
I then stamped the H2O and added letter stickers for the "Vital For Life", then die cut into a circle. I added some punched foliage, flowers and ribbon to complete the tag.
Don't forget to leave a comment or contact me on Facebook with your creations from this challenge. I'd love to see them.

For this card I used a prepared Panpastel background in shades of lemon, greens and mauves.
First I stamped the weeds at the base of the card. I used a Unity Stamp Co stamp from the set called "Fishy Philosophy". Both the seahorse and the fish are stamps from the Stampin' Up set called "By The Tide". The sentiment is a Papertrey Ink stamp from their set called "Every Day Classics" which I die cut using a Spellbinder die. I finished the card off by adding some clear crystal gems to provide the impression of air bubbles.
I decided to play with dies for my first card of the day, using the Spellbinders Nestabilities "Majestic Oval" die set in two shades.
I've been playing with tags. Using a tag with a Panpastel background I used some of the stamps from the Stampin' Up "High Tide" set.
I think this tag looks very moody.
