The 100 Day Project 2026 - Day 97



Today, is Day 97 of the 100 Day Project 2026, and it's another clean and simple design from me.  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 97 I used three shades of Distress Oxide Inks for the background colour. The shades of ink I used are:Salvaged Patina,  Boken China and Cracked Pistachio.  I then used "Broken China: Distress Oxide Ink through the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Distressed Background Snippet Stencil - SS31".

Next I used one of the stamps from the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs stamp set called "Garden Elements - TE30", stamped lightly in Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink. Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I stamped the lily (from the same "Garden Elements" stamp set), on to the prepared background and then on to an off-cut of white card.  I fussy cut the one of white card, glueing it into position over the stamped image on the background.  I added some colour to the lily by painting with "Saltwater Taffy" Distress Oxide Ink.

I added some dots of white and black Posca Pen around the lily.  Then fussy cut a Dina Wakley swallow from one of her collage paper sets. Finally adding a Tim Holtz "idea-ology" word sticker saying "keep moving forward".

  1. Having seen you use them I definitely have it in mind to get some of Tracy's boutique stamp sets at some point, and the lily makes a great focal image over the top of that beautiful blue and green background with lots of added stamping and the harlequin stencilling too, and your pretty bird is flying in of course. A brilliant card Sam. x
