Week 48 - 52 Week Mini Art Card / Tag Challenge 2018

The prompt for Week 48 is:  "Baby/New Arrival".

My tag for this week has had many stages, resulting in some ending in the bin.  I have settled on this one, but I may well make another one when I am feeling more into it.

I created a background of Distress Oxide inks in various colours.  Stamped the baby image (part of a Visible Image set called Bloom and Grow).  I then stamped the light bulb shape around the baby (an Inkylicious stamp) - both stamped in Versarfine Clair "Twilight" shade.  

I masked both the baby and the edges of the bulb and stamped the stars using a Lavinia Stamps pound stamp.

On an offcut of the Oxide background I stamped the "Naturally Homegrown" sentiment, which is part of a Graphic 45 set called "Home Sweet Home 2" and die cut it to shape.

Using a blank tag, I covered it with an off-cut of Shenandoah paper and using the Lavinia "Sacred Spells" stamp added the text in Versafine ink.

Week 19 - 52 Week Mini Art Card / Tag Challenge 2018

It's Bank Holiday weekend here in the UK and the sun is out and it seems that the whole of the country have flocked to North Wales, judging by the amount of traffic in the area.

The prompt for Week 19 is "Farm Life"

For my tag, I started off with a Graphic 45 stamp set called "Home Sweet Home 2", stamping the title, churn, sign and the cattle in a black Versafine ink.  I then coloured the images with Promarkers.  I added an off-cut of a die cut that has a brick look to sections of the tag.

The background was painted using a mix of Tim Holtz Distress Inks and Oxides.  I then used Stamper's Anonymous stamps around the edges and inked the extremities in black too.

I hope you're having a fabulous long weekend.
