Today, is Day 81 of the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay challenge. This week is all about inks - my favourite!
For my piece, I have used the new Versafine Clair "Sand Dune" ink to stamp the Funky Fossil Designs "Tree Rings" in the background.
I've then used Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" green ink to stamp the Funky Fossil Designs "Ferns" and the sentiment. I used the same ink for the edges of the card too.
Finally, adding some dots of Liquid Pearls in an "Avocado" shade.
Today is Day 80 of the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge. This week is all about inks, so I have stamped and painted in two different inks for this piece.
I stamped the Funky Fossil Designs "Scribble Hare" and the sentiment from the same stamp set, using the new Versafine Clair "Portobello" brown shade of ink.
I painted the eyes, ears and body using three shades of Distress Oxide Inks, using "Saltwater Taffy" for the ears, "Wild Honey" for the eyes and "Brushed Corduroy" for the body.
Today is Day 79 of the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge. This week is all about inks.
To create the background of this piece, I swiped the white card through four shades of Elements Inks, using Sundance, Greensleeves, Pine and Blue Atoll till the white card was fully covered.
Once dry, I stamped Clarity Stamp images using the Leafy Swirl Stamp set with Versafine Clair "Twilight" ink.
I then used the Clarity Stamps "Swallow Journalling" stamp set with Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink for the harlequin design in the background.
For the sentiment, I used the Clarity Stamp set called "Quote Set", stamped in Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink.
To finish the piece I used white gel pens and Posca Pens, with black and white Ranger Enamel Accents too.
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 Crafting Niche 52 Week Mini Art Card/Tag Challenge 2024:
The prompt for Week 19 is "Wings"
*****
This is the tag that I have made for the Week 19.
Starting with a cream coloured tag, I used "Victorian Velvet" through the Tim Holtz / Stampers Anonymous "Bouquet Layering Stencil - THS143".
I then edged the tag working with lighter colours outwards using Distress Oxide Ink "Bundled Sage", "Gathered Twigs" then "Ground Espresso", finally edging in Versafine Clair "Pine Cone" ink.
I coloured a Tim Holtz "Paperdoll", using "Victorian Velvet" Distress Oxide ink for the skin tone and "Picked Raspberry" Distress Oxide Ink for the clothes, applying both with a paint brush.
Moving on to the wings, I used a Crafters Companion stamp and die set, sorry I don't know what it is called other than that. I used the stamp with Wow! Clear Embossing Ink and Wow! Bright White Embossing Powder on Velum and then heat set. I then fussy cut around as I didn't trust the die not to move!
About half an inch from the base of the tag, I created some ground, using a Lavinia Stamps "Hill Mask" and Versafine Clair "Pine Cone" dark brown ink with a finger dabber.
I then mounted the tag on to a piece of dark red card and cut to size.
I used Cosmic Shimmer wet glue to stick the wings and the paper doll in position.
Finally, I used two Tim Holtz Idea-ology "Clipping Stickers" for the sentiment.
Today, is Day 78 of the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay challenge. There is a new prompt for the coming week of "Inks".
For this card, I used the Lavinia Stamps "Wild Vine" stamp with two shades of Versafine Clair Inks, stamping in the new "Avocado" shade and the existing colour of "Shady Lane".
I used a blending brush with the "Avocado" ink to add some colour around the edges of the card, leaving the central area white for the sentiment. I used the Lavinia "Just For You" stamp which is part of their 'Heartfelt Verse" stamp set.
Using a Q-tip/cotton bud, I added dots of the new Versafine Clair "Lilac Blush" ink, to create the look of wisteria trailing from the vine.
Today, is Day 77 of the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay challenge. It is the last day of using the prompt of "crayons". I have found this week a challenge in itself as crayons are not my choice of medium to work with.
For this make, I used some tape to hold the base card in place on a board and then placed it at an angle. I used my heat gun to melt the crayons so that the colours ran down the page. The crayons I used normal kids "Crayola" crayons", uisng yellow, green, blue, orange and purple colours.
While the wax coloured drips were setting, I cut a piece of card and stamped the saying "Free your imagination" sentiment which is part of a Visible Image stamp set by the same name, stamped in Versafine Clair "Fantasia" purple/blue ink. I added double sided sticky tape to the back and stuck over the wax drips. I then mounted the piece on white card.
Today, is Day 76 of the Tiffany Johnson Creative £100daysartplay challenge. The prompt for the week is use crayons.
For my tag, I shaded three colours of wax crayon at angle across the tag, using blue, green and purple colours.
I drew branches with leaves on them using a turquoise coloured Posca Pen, in the gaps, I used a white Posca Pen to draw scrolls. Finally adding a Tim Holtz Idea-ology "Chit Chat" word sticker, saying "Cherish".
