Week 25 - 52 Week Mini Art Card / Tag Challenge 2019


The prompt for Week 25 of the challenge is "All Things Male" as it is Father's Day weekend.

For my tag, I decided to use a Visible Image set of stamps which is quite new to me, it's called "Art Rebel".

I started by repeat stamping the large fish from the set onto a plain manilla coloured tag.  I used Distress Oxide ink in the shade of "Brushed Corduroy".

I then stamped the words from the same set using Distress Oxide "Ground Espresso" shade of ink.  I then used a blender very lightly to give a little blush colour to the surface using Distress Oxide "Fired Brick" shade of ink.  I inked the edges of the tag using a black Versafine Clair ink called "Norcturne".  I also added some black splatters to the surface too.

Using the Distress Oxide "Ground Espresso" shade of ink again, I stamped the face sections onto a plain tag and cut them down,  I then mounted them on some red card and adhered them to the tag.

I die cut swirly cirles in matching red card.  Using Glossy Accents, I stuck a button to each eye of the glasses then stuck the outer edge of the die cut swirl over the button, so that the middle stands out 3D like.  I found some little metallic discs which I also stuck to the tag.

Visible Image Stamps on Kraft Card - Birthday Card and Gift Bag



I'm not a huge fan of kraft card for stamping as it tends not to be the best surface for stamping on, but decided to stretch myself by using it to play with some new stamps I purchased at the weekend.  To stretch myself further, I thought I would make a card for a male - foolish Sam!


I stamped the Visible Image "Fibonacci" grid/swirl using Versafine Clair "Glamorous" onto the kraft card.  Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne", I stamped the fish and the word "Rebel" from their "Art Rebel" set.  Finally, I inked the edges in black ink and added a few touches of gold pen.


I was in need of some male gift wrap, but didn't have anything suitable, so decided to adapt a brown paper bag I had put by.  On two pieces of Kraft card I used black Versafine ink through the Visible Image "Strobe" Stencil.  I then used stamps from the grid/curve from the Visible Image set called "Fibonacci" stamped in Versafine Clair "Glamorous".  I made a matching tag using the same strobe stencil
