The Hundred Day Project - Day 6

Today is Day 6 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 6, I used three colours (Prickly Pear, Sky Blue and Garden Patina) of Ranger Archival Inks throught the Creative Expressions "Grateful" stencil.

I used a black fine liner to go round some of the outer dots and fussy cut a bird from a Dina Wakley collage paper set, finally adding a Tim Holtz Idea-ology word sticker.

Marianne Designs "Silhouette Art Stamps CS1180" - Sympathy Card

 

The need to make sympathy cards, seem to come round far to often these days!

I made this card using diluted pink and orange coloured water colour paint for the background colour.  I stamped the leaf, which is by Marianne Designs and part of their "Silhouette Art Stamps, ref CS1180", using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink. I used the same ink to stamp the Simon Says Stamps "Sorry for your loss" sentiment, which is part of their "Tiny Words" stamp set.

I used "Shadow Grey" Ranger Archival Ink, through the Funky Fossil Designs "Micro Dot Stencil".  Finally, I added a touch of gold shimmer using a gold coloured gel pen round the edge of the stamped leaves.

The 100 Day Project 2026 - Day 5

Today is Day 5 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.

Lavinia Stamps Pixy Houses in Silversong Willow Woods

I used a tag from my stash with a Brusho print from a stencil.  I had used Lemon and Leaf Green Brusho.  This was the second print from the stencil so there is less stencil design.

I loosely coloured over the tag using "Sky Blue" and "Leaf Green" Ranger Archival Ink to give a unified coloured base.

I used "Accorn" Versafine Clair ink to stamp the Lavinia Stamps "Silversong Willow" trees, extending some of the branches using the Lavinia "Witch Hazel" branch.

I used the torn edge of a piece of paper with "Shady Lane" Versafine Clair green ink to create the landscapes. I then used Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink to stamp the Lavinia Stamps "Pixy Houses"

To finish, I used Posca Pens, a white gel pen and a 2B pencil for extra detail and colour.

The 100 Day Project 2026 - Day 4

Today is Day 4 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 4, I've used two shades of Distress Oxide Inks (Tumbled Glass and Stormy Sky), through an aperture stencil for the central circle of colour.

I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the Creative Expressions "Botanical Frames CEC1032" and the "nature" word from the same stamp set.

Finally, I added a bird from the Dina Wakley collage papers and added some dots of "Aqua Green" Posca Pen.

The 100 Day Project 2026 - Day 3

Today is Day 3 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 3, I've used off cuts from previous Brusho projects and pieces of blue card with blue acrylic paint on them to create this collage.

I've used three of the birds from Dina Wakley collage papers and two words from the Tim Holtz "idea-ology Chitchat" book of word stickers.

Lavinia Stamps "Magpie "and "Moss Cap Mushrooms" just for you card

I don't recall the last time I played wth my Lavinia Stamps, it was definitely a few months ago, likely before Hubby was diagnosed with bowel cancer in early December  I've just not been in the right frame of mind to craft.  Fortunately, he is making a good recovery from his operation, which is likely why I felt the need to use my stamps.

For this card, I used Versafine Clair "Sand Dune" ink to stamp the Lavinia Stamps "Moss Cap Mushrooms". I then used Versafine Clair "Acorn" ink to stamp the Lavinia "Star Cap Mushrooms".  

I used Versafine Clair "Avocado" green ink and the torn edge of a piece of paper to create the ground.

I then used a Lavinia "Moon mask" with "Sky Blue" Ranger Archival Ink to spotlight the top of the mushrooms.  Then used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp one of the Lavinia "Magpies".

I used Derwent Inktense water colour pencils (Fern, Tan and Scarlet Pink shades) for colouring the mushrooms, along with touches of white gel pen.  I used red and yellow Posca Pens for the flowers in the grass a 3B pencil to darken areas.

Finally, using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink, I stamped the sentiment using one of the Lavinia 'Heartfelt Verse" stamps.
