Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge - Day 88

Today is Day 88 of the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay challenge.  This week I'm using "inks".

For the base of this tag, I used four shades of Dylusion Spray Inks, using Lemon Soft, Fresh Linen, Bubblegum Pink and London Blue colours.

I then used two "Oakhouse Studio" stamps, I've had these for years and I believe the company is now closed, but the stamps continue to be pulled out of my stash every so often. I used Versafine Clair "Monarch" purple ink to stamp the flowers.

I used a white pastel pencil to colour the petails and a white gel pen to go around the edges and also to draw white lines between the flowers.

Finally, I added tiny dots of orange and yellow Posca Pens to the middle of the flowers.

Lavinia Stamps Oak Leaves black and white card

 

A friend asked me about a technique, so I set too making this card, so I could share the process.

I've used a good quality solid black coloured card, approx 280 gsm.  I stamped the Lavinia Stamps "Oak Leaves" in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black" ink.

I then used a white Uniball Signo Pen to go over the edges of the stamping.  It goes on quite dull as the card seemed to absorb the colour.

I then used a white and black pastel pencil to colour the leaves, blending the colours with a paper stubb.  I then went over some of the edges of the leaves with the white Signo pen again, these remained brighter than the original ones.

Finally, I used a Tim Holtz Idea-ology word sticker from their "Small Talk" booklet, going round th edges with the white Signo pen.
