Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge - Day 47

Today is Day 47 of the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay challenge.  This week is all about stamps and stamping.

For my card, I have stamped a reflection of the tree, by using Verafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink to stamp the Lavinia Stamps "Trees" stamp, stamping on a piece of acetate.  I then used the acetate to transfer the image on to the card.

Next, I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the trees above the reflection. I used a 2B pencil to add extra shadows and depth in the water area, I also extended the land/water on both sides of the tree stamped area.

I added a very subtle touch of blue to the sky area and the water using three shades of Derwent Inktense pencils, using "Malibu - 1213", Iron Blue - 0840" and "Neutral Grey - 2120"

Today is Day 46 of the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay challenge.  This week is all about stamps and stamping.

I started with a white piece of card, cut into a tag shape.  I stamped the Honyedoo Crafts "Lilies" flower using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.

I painted the flower and the background using Prima "Tropicals" Water colour paints adding touches of gold gel pen to the flower and adding a white Posca Pen outline.

I inked the edges of the tag using Versfine Clair "Nocturne" black ink and then used the same ink with a finger dabber through the Tim Holtz / Stampers Anonymous "THS004" String Stencil.

I then used the gold gel pen through the dots on the Tim Holtz / Stampers Anonymous Christmas stencil before mounting the tag on to a piece of black card.

I used a blue and a yellow Derwent Inktense Pencils to colour the iris of the eye.  I then used yellow, orange and light blue coloured Posca pens to colour in various sizes of dots. Finally, mounting the tag on to co-ordinating blue card.

Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge - Day 44

Today is Day 44 of the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay challenge.  This week is all about stamps and stamping.

For this card, I used a background I had in my stash that I had made with the gel plate, the Funky Fossil Designs "Organic Circles" and "Victorian Velvet" Distress Ink.

I cut the card down to 4x4" and then used Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink to stamp the Funky Fossil Designs "Ammonite" stamp, then coated the stamped image with Wow! clear embossing powder and heat set. I then coloured the image using "Bundled Sage" Distress Oxide ink, applied with a paint brush and used a white gel pen for highlight.

On the top left and bottom right hand side, I stamped the Funky Fossil Designs "Vintage Script" stamp using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink and second generation stamping. 

I then applied two shades of Distress Oxide Ink "Dusty Concorde" and "Wilted Violet" through the Funky Fossil Designs "Micro Dots stencil".  I inked the edges of the card using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" ink, then finally added the "Fig 21" which is part of the Funky Fossil "Musings" stamp set, applied with Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.

Penny Black "Daffodil Dance 40-378" Easter Card

I just wanted to wish you a very Happy Easter and say how much I appreciate you stopping by my little blog of makes.

For this card, I used water colour card, spritzed with water.  I then used various shades of Distress Oxide Inks (Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed, Wild Honey, Twisted Citron, Peeled Paint and Tea Dye) to stamp the Penny Black "Daffodil Dance 40-378" rubber cling stamp.  I then spritzed the stamped image again to make it a bit more blurry.

I added extra detail using a white gel pen and a 2B pencil.  Finally, stamping the Clarity sentiment (part of the Clarity "Entwined Sentiment Stamp Set") using Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" green ink.

The Crafting Niche 52 Week Mini Art Card/Tag Challenge 2024:

The prompt for Week 14 is "Easter"

*****

This is the tag that I have made for the Week 14.  

I have used the Clarity Stamps set called "Bunnies and Mask Set" stamping the bunny in Versafine Clair "Acorn" brown ink and then popping the mask over the top.

I then used "Salvaged Patina" Distress Oxide Ink through the Clarity Stamps "The Old Oak Stencil #110".

Once the stencil was removed I coloured the tree area in with a light brown Derwent Inktense pencil called "Tan 1710".

I coloured the bunny and the ground it stands on, in using another Derwent Inktense brown pencil called "Amber 1740".  I added some green for the grass using a Derwent Inktense pencil called "Fell Green - 1530" adding touches of yellow and orange Posca Pen to give the impression of flowers.

I used a bird from the Clarity Stamps "Birdhouse" set, stamped in Versafine Clair "Acorn Ink" adding touches of white gel pen to lighten areas.

Finally, I stamped the Easter sentiment in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.  The sentiment is part of the Clarity Stamp set called "Bijou Art Nouveau Collection" and then mounted the tag on to a pale pink background.

Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge - Day 43

It's Day 43 of Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challnege.  As it is Sunday, there is a new theme, this week is all about stamps and stamping.

I started with a square piece of card.  Using a black fine liner pen, I drew a square.  Then within that square, I drew four more squares.

I painted each of the four boxes a different colour using Prima "Tropicals" water colour paints.

Once the paint was dry, which was almost immediately I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp each of the Lavinia Stamps animals.  The stamps I have used are "Mooch" the cat, the "Snail Set", the "Large Owls" and one of the hares from the "Whimsical Hares" stamp set.

I outlined the stamping using a white Uniball Signo pen.  I added a touch of colour to the snail shell using  pastel pencils as the orange was a bit too strong on the shell area.

I decided that I would doodle in the background of each of the boxes.  I used a gold gel pen to create dots in the hare box.  I used a black fine liner pen to add squiggly horizontal lines with dots in the Mooch box.  In the snail box I drew lots of circles with the fine liner, then filled in the gaps between the circles using the same pen.  Finally, behind the owl, I used a black fine liner pen to draw broken vertical lines with green dots of gel pen between the breaks in the lines.
