52 Week Mini Art Card / Tag Challenge 2025 - Week 4



The Crafting Niche 52 Week Mini Art Card/Tag Challenge 2025:

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 4 is "Ephemera"

•••

For my Week 4 "Ephemera" tag, I started with a white tag, sticking sections of old unused diary pages on to the tag, till the surface was covered.

Next, I used two Funky Fossil Designs stamp sets, using "Abstractions" and "Musings" with four colours of Versafine Clair Inks.  I used Arctic, Morning Mist, Tulip Red and Nocturne shades of ink.

I found an old stamp that I had torn off an envelope, so stuck that to the top right hand side.  I also stuck the "January" banner which was in an old diary.  

Next, I found a mailing from a wine company, so tore a section out with wine bottles and stuck them to the base of the tag.

I had saved some stickers from a Christmas crackers so stuck the hearts to the tag, then got busy with a red Posca Pen to circle the days of the week.

Edited to add:  this tag kinds of suggest I like a glass of wine or two, I actually don't drink very much alcohol!

Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge - Day 19



It's Day 19 of the "Tiffany Johnson Creative" #100daysartplay challenge.  This week is all about the "palette knife".

This is my make for Day 19. I've used pieces of a torn book page, glued into random positions on a piece of beige coloured card.

Next, I have used two Funky Fossil Designs stamp sets: "Musings" and "Abstractions" with Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink and "Acorn" brown ink.  I then inked the edges of the card using "Nocturne".

Next I used a Ranger texture paste through areas of the Funky Fossil "Abstract Ovals stencil", finally mounting it on to black paper and then on to grey card.

Funky Fossil "Abstractions" Thank you Card



I've been playing with a Funky Fossil Designs stamp set called "Abstractions" to create this card.  I've stamped in two shades of Versafine Clair inks:  Charming Pink and Nocturne on a background where I have mopped up Distress Oxide Inks from my glass mat. I've used black and white Posca pens for highlights.

I've used a Funky Fossil Designs "thank you" die, cutting white card for the central sentiment.

Funky Fossil Designs "Abstractions" new stamp set preview #2




This is the second preview sample I have made using the new Funky Fossil Designs "Abstractions" stamp set, which will be available to purchase this Friday, 14th May 2021.

For this sample I have used a sheet of the new "Kaleidescope" patterned paper for the background.  I've used various stamps from the new "Abstractions" stamp set, stamped in three shades of Versafine Clair inks. I've also added some touches of white Posca Pen to the card.

Funky Fossil Designs "Abstractions" New Stamp Preview




Today I am sharing with you another preview of a new stamp set from Funky Fossil Designs.  This set is called "Abstractions", which consists of 15 designs ideal for creating backgrounds or making a main feature of a card/piece of art.  Abstractions will be available to purchase from the Funky Fossil site on Friday 14th May.

For my sample I have used the Funky Fossil "Organic Circles Stencil" with two shades of Distrress Oxide Inks to create a yellow/olive colour (Twisted Citron and Crushed Olive).

I have used Versafine Clair "Twilight" ink to stampe the patterns from the new "Abstractions" set.  The sentiment, stamped in the same ink is part of the Funky Fossil "Small Print #2" stamp set.
