The 100 Day Project 2026 - Day 83

Today, is Day 83 of the 100 Day Project 2026.  This is 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 83 I used three shades of Distress Oxide Inks (Salvaged Patina, Speckled Egg and Tea Dye), to create the background colour.  I then used the Tracy Evans "Distresed Background Snippet Stencil - SS31" with "Cracked Pistachio" Distress Oxide Inks to create the harlequin background.

I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the flowers, which are part of the Tracy Evans "One of a kind TE54" stamp set.  The sentiment of "The sound of silence" is from another Tracy Evans stamp set called "Create your own story - TE51", also stamped in Nocturne" black ink.

I used a circle mask to create the spotlight, edging the mask in Versafine "Morning Mist" grey ink and colouring the inside edge with a white pastel pencil.  I grounded the flowers using the edge of a torn piece of paper and Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.  I used a black fine liner pen to add a border and to create grass strands, using a white and aqua coloured Posca Pen to imitate flowers.

Finally, I fussy cut a Dina Wakley swalow from a collage paper set and added some dots of "White Opal" Liquid Pearl dots to the edge of the spotlight.
