The 100 Day Project 2026 - Day 28

Today, is Day 28 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 28, I used two stamps from the Visible Image "Grunge Tones" stamp set with two shades of Versafine Clair inks, using "Bali Blue" for the larger dots and "Avocado" for the smaller.closer dots in the background. I then used a black fine liner pen to draw a circle around a lid.

Because of the patterned background, I decided to use plain coloured card stock rather than patterned, as the piece would look "too busy".  I had lots of little off-cuts saved for this very reason, so it was good to put some of them to use.  I punched two circles into white card and used those to break up the colour, so the eyes had somewhere to rest.

Finally, I added a Dina Wakley swallow bird from a collage paper set and a Tim Holtz "idea-ology" word sticker saying "Imprefection".

Funky Fossil Designs "Ampersand" die card

 

I made this card yesterday but forgot to upload it here.  I have used the Funky Fossil Designs "Micro Dot" stencil in the background with "Spun Sugar" Distress Ink.

I then used the Funky Fossil "Ampersand" shaped die (I think this was part of their "Love and" stamp and die set), for the central image, backing it in white card. I then used one of the foliage dies from the Funky Fossil "Doodle Blooms" die set and cut them in wite, arranging and sticking them into position on the card.

I used  Versafine Clair "Hawthorn Rose" pink ink to stamp the sentiments, which are part of the Funky Fossil Designs "Stripped Back Sentiments" stamp set.

Finally, I layered and mounted the piece onto a white suare card and added some dots of white Ranger "Enamel Accents" to complete the card.

I used a black fine liner pen to draw around a lid several times., finally adding a Tim Holtz "Idea-ology" word sticker.

Golden Skeleton Leaves Tag

 

I had a play in the craft room for an hour this afternoon, making this tag.

I used a white tag for the base using "Rusty Hinge" Distress Ink, spritzed and smooshed over the surface, drying with a heat gun and then repeating the process.  

I then used Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze" ink to stamp the Funky Fossil Designs "Vintage Script" stamp on the two long edges of the tag.

Next I used "Carved Pumpkin" Distress Ink through the Tim Holtz./ Stampers Anonymous THMM101 dot stencil. I used a black Posca Pen to make some splatters over the surface of the tag.

I used some Funky Fossil patterned paper to die cut the leaves.  I drew around the leaves on the tag then added a layer of glue and applied gold coloured Cosmic Shimmer "Gilding Flakes",  brushhing off the surplus, I then glued the leaves into position.

I inked the edges of the tag using "Ground Espresso" Distress Oxide ink, then mounted the tag on to a piece of co-ordinating card.

Finally, I used a gold coloured gel pen to draw around the leaves.  I put some gold coloured "Stickles" on to a piece of paper and applied tiny areas of the sparkle using my finger tip.
