The Crafting Niche 52 Week Mini Art Card/Tag Challenge 2025:
This is a weekly challenge. I provide you with a prompt/theme each Sunday morning through out the year. The challenge is very relaxed. You can do as much or as little as you like. You can create cards, tags, Artist Trading Cards (ATC's) or index cards, the choice is yours. You just go with what ever is in your head at the time. You can stamp, get inky, use patterned papers, texture, embellish it is all down to you.
There is a dedicated private Facebook Group, with a lovely bunch of people who are already sharing their makes from previous challenges. You can find the group by clicking this link. I'd love you to join in.
The prompt for Week 46 is "Abstract"
I started by using two shades of Ranger Archival Ink to cover a white tag. The colours I used were: Sap Green and Periwinkle. I then used Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze" turquoise coloured ink to stamp the circles in the background, using a Carabelle Studio "Inky Circles" stamp. In some of the circles, I added some Cosmic Shimmer Iridescent Shimmering water colour paint.
Next using a black fine liner pen and a roll of low tack tape, I drew round the inner and outer edges of the roll to achieve concentric circles. I then splattered white Posca Pen across the surface of the tag.
Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I stamped the owl, which is part of the Visible Image "Night Owl" stamp set. I stamped it again on a piece of white card, painted it with "Tea Dye" Distress Oxide Ink, then fussy cut the owl and stuck it into position on the tag.
Next, using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" ink. I stamped the birds in the top right and bottom left of the tag, these are part of the Visible Image "Free Your Imagination" stamp set. Using the same ink, I stamped the words Love and Art. These are part of the Visible Image stamp set called "Beauty is art". Finally, I used a black Posca Pen to add some black splatters.
