A Crafting Niche "52 Week Mini Art Card / Tag Challenge 2026". Week 46

 

The Crafting Niche 52 Week Mini Art Card/Tag Challenge 2026:

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 46 is "Tag on Tag"

On a white piece of card, I used "Sky Blue" Archival Ink and the edge of a piece of card to create the snow landscape.  Above that I used "Prize Ribbon" Distress Oxide Ink for the sky. I then tapped water over the surface of the sky area, then mopped up any surplus water using a piece of kitchen roll to achieve the mottled background.

On the top left corner, I used Versafine Clair "Acorn" a brown coloured ink to stamp the branches and berries, which are part of the Tracy Evans  "Berries TE55" stamp set.   I then coloured the berries with a red Posca pen and added snow to the berries, branches and the sky using a white Posca Pen. 

On a piece of white card, I stamped the large snowman from the Tracy Evans "A Myriad Of Designs TE44" stamp se, using third generation stamping in Versafinen Clair "Arctic" a light blue ink.  There was just enough ink to see the stamped detail.  I used assorted coloured glitter gel pens and a white Posca pen to colour the snowman.  I then loosely fussy cut the shape of him, popped a hole in the hat and threaded the white and silver Baker's Twine through the snowman and the main tag, making a bow at the top.

Finally, using Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze" a turquoise coloured ink, I stamped the word "snowman" which is also part of the Tracy Evans "A Myriad Of Designs" stamp set.
