52 Week Mini Art Card / Tag Challenge 2025 - Week 48

The Crafting Niche 52 Week Mini Art Card/Tag Challenge 2025:

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 48 is "Trees"

Starting with a white tag, I created the background colour, using "Sky Blue","Prickly Pear" and "Leaf Green"  Ranger Archival Inks with one of the Lavinia Stamps acetate "Hill Masks".

Next, I stamped the trees, using the Lavinia Stamps "Birch" and "Small Trees" stamps with Versafine Clair "Pine Cone" dark brown ink.  I then stamped the Lavinia "Small Pixy Houses" and the "Ducks" in the sky, using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.

I used a white gel pen for highlights.  Then used yellow, orange and white Posca Pens for the flowers.

For the leaves on the trees, I used a cotton bud / Q-tip with three shades of green Ranger Archival inks.
