Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge - Day 57

Today is Day 57 of Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay challenge.  It's the start of a new week of prompts, this week is "collage"!

For my make, I raided my stash of cardstock and patterned papers, finding a 6x6 patterned paper with tiny copper dots on a blue background, so I matched everything else with that.

I've used different shades of blue cardstock, some with torn edges, there is some stamping in Versafine Clair "Medieval Blue" ink using one of the Lavinia Stamps "Pysichic Signs".  

I used a piece of Funky Fossil "Washi Tape" and a piece of copper foil tape that I scrunched up and then smoothed for added texture/interest.

I used various die cuts I already had cut and finally added a Tim Holtz Idea-ology "Big Chat" word sticker saying "Understanding".

Lavinia Stamps Snailcap Mushrooms Card

 

In recent weeks, I have seen many ink pad cards inspired by Sarah Anderson, so I decided to make one myself.

I used Distress Oxide "Antique Linen as the background ink of choice for my central square, pulling the colour from the edge towards the middle of the square.

I stamped the Lavinia Stamps "Snailcap Mushrooms" in the new Versafine Clair colour called "Sand Dune".  I created masks for the mushrooms, then lay the Lavinia Stamps "Laurel Stencil" over the top, applying another new Versafine Clair coloured ink "Avocado" through the stencil to give a subtle pattern.

While the masks were in position, I stamped the foliage using the Lavinia Stamps "Thimbleweed" stamp with Versafine Clair "Avocado" green ink.

I used another new Versafine Clair ink colour, called "Portobello" to stamp the tiny bits of script, using the Lavinia stamp set called "Psychic Signs".  I used the same ink to stamp the word "Hope" which is part of the Lavinia Stamps "Blessings" stamp set.

I used Derwent Inktense pencils, a 2B pencil and a white gel pen to colour the mushrooms and to add highlights to various areas.
