Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge - Day 61

Today is Day 61 of the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay challenge.  This week is all about collage.  

I've raided my odds and ends drawers to make this collage.  I've used an off cut of a 12x12 scrapbook paper.  A piece of vellum with a die cut circle in it, tissue paper with a butterfly design, a turquoise coloured Posca Pen some small buttons and some sticky backed pearls.  Finally, adding a Tim Holtz Idea-ology word sticker saying "the loveliest things".

Stampers Anonymous "Perspective" Tag

Today, I've been creating a tag.  It has a textural base and is embellished with Tim Holtz "Stampers Anonymous" stamped images. 

For the base, I used three shades of Distress Oxide Inks:  Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn, in a sort of swooshing action, mopping up ink on my glass mat in a random way.  I heat set it and then added extra layers in the same way to build up the depth of colour.

Using a Stampers Anonymous (THMM108) stencil, I added some green circles using "Mowed Lawn" Distress Oxide Ink.

I then decided to add some texture, by using "That's Crafty" Sand Texture Paste through the small circles in the Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous (THMM101) stencil at the top and the bottom of the tag in opposite corners.  I then set aside to dry.

Once dry, I decided to add further texture by using the same texture paste but adding some green acrylic paint to it and mixing the two together before putting through another Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous (THS004) stencil to create the green vertical lines over the textural dots.  I set aside to dry, it did take longer than the dots due to the paint I had mixed in.

I used a Stampers Anonymous stamp from their "Random Quotes" stamp set, stamped in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink, on the flat areas of the tag.

Using Versafine Clair "Blue Bell" I stamped the large butterfly from the Stampers Anonymous "Perspective" (CMS213) stamp set on to white card.  I did the same with a small butterfly/moth from the Stampers Anonymous "Little Things" stamp set.  I then ran the images through my Brother Scan n Cut to cut out the multiple images. 

I coloured the insects with two shades of blue Distress Oxide inks:  Blueprint Sketch and "Tumbled Glass", adding a bit of sparkle with a silver glitter Signo Pen.

I then adhered the images on to the tag and added a sentiment using the Tim Holtz Idea-ology " "Small Talk" word stickers.

Layered Die Cut Tag

For this tag I inked patterned paper.  Using a Sixxiz die (Tim Holtz 661185) I cut the pattern in black card, layering it over the inked patterned paper.  I then use two Memorybox dies (Isabella and Pippi) to cut the butterflies.

Butterfly Cards

Today I have made two butterfly cards, both in similar colour tones, one more fussy than the other.  

I used a stamp & die from Papertrey Ink set called "Love Lives Here" for the stamped & die cut butterfly.  The background is embossed using the Stampin' up "Seaside" embossing folder.  The Swirly rose is also from Stampin' Up, called "Swirly Scribbles" and the love sentiment is Stampin' Up from their "Sunshine Wishes" die set.
