Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysaertplay Challenge - Day 67

Well I've got two thrids of the way through the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge.  I can see the light of the finish line at the end of the tunnel. The prompt for this week should be "Dollar Tree" finds, but here in the UK, we don't have Dollar Tree, so I'm making making anything I fancy this week.

For this card, I used a piece of gel plate/Brusho background I had in my stash.  Stamping the Creative Expression "Hexagon Script" over the surface using Versafine Clair "Charming Pink" ink.  I used the same ink to ink the edges of the card. I splattered some white paint from a Posca Pen across the surface of the card.

I used Wow! Clear Embossing Ink and Wow! Bright White Super Fine Embossing Powder to stamp the dandelion and sentiment and then heat set.  (I'm not sure who made the stamp set, it's one I've had for years with a reference of SSC1106 STM2010). I then mounted the card on to a piece of pink paper and then on to a white card blank.

Week 5 - 52 Week Mini Art Card / Tag Challenge 2018

It's Sunday again, so time to get the thinking caps on for the coming week.

The prompt for Week 5 is "Silhouette".  I think this prompt should allow you to create in lots of different directions.  I sat down for an afternoon and created these four tags as examples. Each one fills the brief but is quite different too.

All four tags have a bakground of Tim Holts Distress Inks and Oxide Inks. I've used a white Signo pen on three of the tags.

For this tag I used a floral stamp from a Stamper's Anonymous set.  I filled the background with a Creative Expression stamp called "Hexagon Script".

For this "Full Moon" tag, I used a mask with a circle to create the moon, shading it with Cosmic Shimmer Colour Cloud Blending Ink in "White Clouds" shade.  The tree is part of a Stampin' Up set called "Sheltering Tree".  I used a Brother label maker for the "full moon" text.

For this cat tag, I used Distress Oxides on a page from an old hymn book.  I used a Penny Black stamp called "Skyward".  The cat was cut using a Poppy Stamps die called "Large Sitting Cat".

Finally, I used stamps which I don't recall the name of for this Winter Birds tag.  A mix of Distress and Oxides were used for the background and the edges were inked heavily.

I hope you have a great week.  Sam x

Week 37 - 52 Week Mini Art Card / Tag Challenge 2017

The prompt for Week 37 is "Serious Grunge".

I know that the grunge look is not to everyone's taste.  I struggle with it, although after many years of crafting, I find I am doing more of it.  Never the less, I still prefer pretty rather than grunge, so this prompt stretched me.

For my tag, I started off with a background of Tim Holtz Distress Inks in beige, green, yellow and brown.  Using StazOn Ink in all instances, I then used a Paperartsy floral eye stamp from their "Petals - Plate 2" set.  I made a mask to cover it.  From the same set, I stamped the butterfly number image (to the base of the tag) and made a mask for that too.

Next, I used a Creative Expressions "Hexagon Script" stamp to stamp over the tag.  I then used red ink to stamp "The Eyes See Everything".  Finally I coloured the floral part of the eye and the butterfly in red.  I added a touch of a white Signo pen to lift the eye and provide the look of light.
