52 Week Mini Art Card / Tag Challenge 2024 - Week 42



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

This is a weekly challenge. I provide you with a prompt/theme each Sunday morning through out the year.  The challenge is very relaxed.  You can do as much or as little as you like.  You can create cards, tags, Artist Trading Cards (ATC's) or index cards, the choice is yours. You just go with what ever is in your head at the time.  You can stamp, get inky, use patterned papers, texture, embellish it is all down to you.

There is a dedicated private Facebook Group, with a lovely bunch of people who are already sharing their makes from previous challenges.  You can find the group by clicking this link.  I'd love you to join in.

The prompt for Week 42 is "Wax Relief"

***

For my Week 42 "Wax Relief' tag, I started by using a cream coloured tag as the base.  I then used a Brusho "Wax Relief Crayon" through the Funky Fossil Designs "Stylish Stencil".

Lifting off the stencil and brushing the small fragments of wax off the surface using a decorators paint brush.

On my glass mat, I added two shades of blue of Ranger Distress Oxide Ink, using "Mermaid Lagoon" and "Prize Ribbon".  I spritzed both inks and the surface of the tag, before swooshing the tag through the colour.  I used a heat gun to dry the surface.

Once dry, I used a 2B pencil to add the shape of the face and eyes as it had got a little lost in the making process.  I used black and white Posca Pens to add dots and dashes over the background.

  1. This works brilliantly Sam and love the blue smooshed inks in the background, and the use of a 2B pencil to sharpen up the lines. I hope your moving plans are shaping up well. x
