Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge - Day 65

Today is Day 65 of the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay challenge.  As we don't have the "Dollar Tree Shop" here in the UK, I am making my own prompts for this week.

I've opted for a "Monochrome" theme for my make, using a selection of products from Sweet Poppy Stencils.

I started with the "Leaf Aperture" stencil and "Sea Grass" Ranger Archival Ink.  Over the top of that I lay the "Floral Trellis" stencil, applying "Olive" Ranger Archival Ink to create the background pattern.

I used Versafine Clair "Avocado" green ink to stamp the "Pumpkin Vine" and the sentiment from the "Hugs & Kisses" stamp set.

Finally, adding some colour using Derwent Inktense pencils a 2B pencil and a white gel pen.

Sweet Poppy Stencils "Pumpkin & Pumpkin Vine" Card - inspired by an Eileen Godwin on-line workshop

Eileen Godwin has inspired me over the years in so many ways.  I decided to book one of her on-line workshops that she had advertised recently, as I really liked the pieces she had made. The workshop I subscribed to was #15 - all about inky layers. 

Because this was a workshop, I am not going to detail the process to make the card.  I have swapped out the background script stamp and the main feature stamps that Eileen used as I didn't have them, so although the background is reasonably close to that of Eileen's sample, the over all finished card looks quite different.

Here's a list of the products I used

Sweet Poppy Stencils "Pumpkin & Pumpkin Vine" card

Well, I must be getting close to perfecting colouring pumpkins, I think this is card number four in a row!  I really like how this one has turned out though.

For this card, I have used two of the recently released stamps from Sweet Poppy Stencils.  I've used the "Pumpkin" and the "Pumpkin Vine" stamps, stamped in Versafine Clair "Acorn" brown ink and "Shady Lane" green ink. I coloured the stamped images with Derwent Inktense pencils, applied with a paint brush.

In the background, I have used "Shadow Grey" Ranger Archival Ink through the Sweet Poppy "Plaid Backplate Stencil" fading the ink out towards the top of the card.
