52 Week Mini Art Card/Tag Challenge
It's time for another prompt on the "My Time To Craft Challenge Blog". The theme for challenge #394 is Easter/Hedghogs. This is the Design Team tag I made for this prompt.
Rather than a card, I thought I would make a tag instead. I like making tags as I find them more informal than a card.
I started with a background of Distress Oxides in greens, mauves and pale pinks.
All the pink stamping is done in Versafine Clair "Charming Pink" ink. I don't recall where the stamps came from as i've had them for some years, but the quality of them is not good so it makes me think they may have come with a magazine. (Please note: the sentiment is from a Penny Black set called "Garden Friends").
The hedgehogs are made by Lavinia Stamps and are called "The Wallace Family" which I have stamped in Versafine Clair "Fallen Leaves" ink.
Finally, I inked the edges of the tag in Versafine Clair "Charming Pink" ink and added spots of Liquid Pearls in a shade called "Blackberry".
The prompt for Week 15 is "Easter".
For this week I decided to go for a nest with eggs. I used the Stampin' Up "Swirly Scribbles" die in two layers to create the nest. The leaves and eggs were also cut using the same set. I stuck patterned paper to a tag and then inked it in various shades. I then positioned and glued the dies on.
Finally I stamped the sentiment, using a Penny Black set called "Garden Friends".
Willow, our three year old Grandaughter was in an Easter concert yesterday, dressed as a bunny. Unfortunately, because we live so far away, we miss out on the school activities, but we do get to see video clips thanks to moblile phones. I made this card to congratulate Willow on her performance.
I used a Penny Black stamp from their set called "Garden Friends" colouring it with watercolour pencils. Using a Memorybox "Stitched Rectangle Layers" die, I cut the rectangle then mounted it onto patterned paper and then onto a card blank.
