52 Week Mini Art Card/Tag Challenge
It seems the older I am getting the more sympathy cards I need to make. Here is a quick card I made this morning.
For this card I have used a Lavinia Stamp called "Floral Spray" positioned horizontally. The sentiment is part of a Stampin' Up set called "Iconic Occasions". Both have been stamped in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink on a cream coloured card base.
As crafters, sometimes we have difficulty turning off our thoughts. I had one of those situations today. I had planned to work on something totally different and had a blinding idea that I had to try out.
I am relatively new to using the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks, so I'm still learning about the way they work and how to get the best out of them.
I had an idea of getting a smudged look to stamped images using the oxide inks, so decided to see how it worked in practice. I used a Stamper's Anonymous stamp for the seed heads and a Stampin' Up stamp from their "Iconic Occasions" set for the sentiment. I added a water colour wash for the sky. I'm really happy with the way it has turned out, so I made a card and a tag out of the practice piece.
This is the practice piece which I was able to cut down to make the card and tag.
What a wet, windy and miserable day it is today. I need to venture out to the supermarket but have been putting it off by making a card instead.
For this card, I have used patterned paper from the "Sweet Paris" paper pack by Trimcraft. I think I purchased it from The Range.
I have used the "Savoy Decorative Accent" die set from Spellbinders for the central areas. The sentiment is by Stampin' Up from their "Iconic Occasions" stamp set.
For this card I used two patterned papers from the "Floral Boutique" stack, which I think I got from The Range.
I have used two Spellbinder dies. The large one is from the "Decorative Fancy Diamond" set. The other smaller one around the sentiment is from the "Victorian Tags" set.
I stamped the sentiment using a stamp from the Stampin' Up set called "Iconic Occasions".
