The 100 Day Project 2026 - Day 14



Today is Day 14 of the 100 Day Project 2026.  A challenge where you spend a short time each day creating, using the mediums of your choice.  Mine is 4x4" card, using collage, stamps and stencils.

For my Day 14 make, I used the "Bokeh Builder Stencil" from Funky Fossil Designs to create the circles in the background, using two shades of Distress Oxide Inks.  I used "Tumbled Glass" and "Salvaged Patina" colours.

Next I used 'Warm Breeze" Versafine Clair ink through the Funky Fossil Designs "Swallows" stencil.

I cut three circles of Dina Wakley collage paper and glued those to the card,  Using a black fine liner pen, I drew round a lid to create the circle.  I then glued the Dina Wakley collage bird into position and added some dots with the fine liner pen to the circle.  Finally, adding a Tim Holtz "idea-ology" word sticker saying "and so the adventure begins".

Tracy Evans "One of a kind" Spring Card


 

A little play in the craft room, before the roofers start work.  I've used the Tracy Evans "Tweet - SS1 Stecil" in the background with "Sky Blue" Ranger Archival ink for the bird in the background.  I've then used a circle mask to create the spotlight area around the head of the bird, using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.

I used Versafine Clair "Nocturner" ink to stamp the large flower and Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink to stamp the smaller flower, both are part of the Tracy Evans "One of a kind - TE54" stamp set.  Then grounded the bird and flower using the torn edge of a piece of paper with Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink, adding tufts of grass using a black fine liner pen.

I used the word "Spring" from the Tracy Evans "Natural Beauty - TE31" stamp set, stamped in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.  Finally, I added dots to the bird using a Posca Pen.

Tim Holtz "Mini Bouquet CMS269" tag



I fancied using coral pink colours today, so made this tag, Starting with a white tag, I covered the surface in two shades of Distress Oxide Inks, using "Saltwater Taffy" and "Picked Raspberry" shades of ink.

Throught the Tim HOltz / Stampers Anonymous "Gradient Square Layering Stencil - THS119"  I used "Tea Dye" Distress Oxide ink. I then used the pattern from the Tim Holtz "Moon Mask" with Versafine Clair "Acorn" brown ink round the edge of the tag. I used the same colour ink to stamp the script in the background, using the Tim Holtz / Stampers Anonymous "Entomology - CMS328" stamp set. I then used a white Posca Pen to add splatters,

I used "Portobello" Versafine Clair ink to stamp the background flowers and the three main flowers, all are part of the Tim Holtz / Stampers Anonymous "Mini Bouquet - CMS269" stamp set. I stamped the main flower heads and stems on to white card, colouring them with Derwent Inktense pencisls, applied with a paint brush.  Fussy cutting them, then sticking on to the tag. Finally I added a Tim Holtz "Idea-ology" word sticker saying "today is the day".
