For my Day 47 I used "Salvaged Patina" Distress Oxide Ink, applied with a paint brush to create rough circles of colour.  Once dry, I then used "Bundled Sage" Distress Oxide Ink for the inner area of the circles, drying with a heat gun.

I then scribbled circles around the blue/green areas then drew vertical lines using a fine liner pen.  I then added gold lines using a gold gel pen adding details to the discs.

Finally, I fussy cur a swallow, from a Dina Wakley collage paper set and added a Tim Holtz "Idea-ology" word sticker saying "appreciate". to the bottom right hand corner.

Today, is Day 46 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 46 I used the Funky Fossil Designs "Abstract Ovals stencils" with two shades of Distress Oxide Inks, using "Faded Jeans" at the top and "Bundled Sage" through the lower section of the stencil.  I then added a touch of "Tumbled Glassd" Distress Oxide Ink to the very top of the card.

I recycled a piece of printed tissue paper from an Inkylicious Crafts order and glued a secrion to the lower area of the card.  I then cut out three Dina Wakley collage paper swallows and glued them into position.

Finally, I used a black fine liner pen to draw a rough frame around three sides of the card and then added a Tim Holtz "Idea-ology" word sticker saying  "live simply... give generously".
