52 Week Mini Art Card/Tag Challenge
Sarah of Funky Fossil Designs will be on Hochanda TV on Saturday 4th April with a selection of goodies.
I used two shades of Paperartsy chalk paint for the background, starting with a wash and building up the colours of the stripes.
I used the Funky Fossil "Abstract Beauty" stamp set, stamping the flowers and the head in Versafine "Smokey Gray" and Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze" ink.
I cut around the flowers and the face and then painted the flowers using Distress Oxide Inks. I then adhered them onto the background.
I used Versafine Clair "Blue Belle" ink through the "Butterfly Flurry" stencil and the "Fierce Words" stencil. I used a Signo glitter pen on the eye and lip area
Funky Fossil Designs have started to sell "black texture paste", so I thought i"d better try it out. I have to say I was really impressed with how it applied through my stencil and it was easy to wash off the stencil and hands afterwards.
I used the paste through the Funky Fossil "Sunray Stencil". I then used their "Abstract Beauty" stamp set to stamp the image of the face on to white card. I cut around the image and applied it over a piece of black card and then adhered it to the card base over the stencilled image.

As the Funky Fossil Designs "Abstract Beauty" stamp set was on my desk, I decided to create a totally different card using the roses.
I stamped the roses several times on to white card using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" a shade of grey ink. I coloured the roses and the leaves using a selection of Distress Oxide Inks applied with a paint brush. I used Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick and Picked Raspberry for the flowers. Twisted Citron and Shabby Shutters were used for the leaves.
Using a blender and a Distress Oxide Ink called "Peacock Feathers" I coloured a white piece of card to create the background.
In the middle of the background, I used the central section of the "Leafy Mandala" stencil with white ink to create a little subtle pattern.
I cut out the roses and leaves and then adhered them on to the background in a circle shape.
Using an off-cut of the coloured background I stamped the sentiment (Hobby Arts Ltd - Greetings For Friends CS158D) using a black Versafine Clair Ink called "Nocturne" and then added it over the cetral area of the ring of roses.

I've been playing with a new stamp set from Funky Fossil Designs called "Abstract Beauty" and a stencil also by them called "Random Rectangles" to create this pop art style card.
I started by stamping the face (Funky Fossil Designs, Abstract Beauty stamp set) image in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink on white card. I coloured the eye and the lips in a glittery Sakura Gelly Roll Pen, unfortunately this doesn't show up very well on a flat photograph.
I cut the image down to a 3"x3" size and then coloured the background using Arteza Brush pens. I then mounted this image on black card to give a dark frame.
For the main background, I used a Distress Oxide Ink through a Funky Fossil Designs stencil called "Random Rectangles" using a red colour called "Candied Apple". I again framed in black card, then mounted it onto the white card blank
