Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge - Day 62

Today is Day 62 of the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay challenge.  This week is all about "Collage".

I used a postcard from a product I'd purchased a few years ago for the lighthouse and boat image, which I stuck on to a piece of white card. I edged the light house using a charcoal pencil and a white gel pen.

I used "Tumbled Glass" Distress Oxide ink to colour the white card, then inked the edges of the card using two shades of Verafine Clair Inks, using "Blue Belle" and "Bali Blue" shades.

Next, I stamped Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink to stamp some text in the background.  I actually used a Lavinia stamp called "See a fairy"as it has a nice vintage script.

Along the base of the card, I glued on a decorative ribbon strip with a loopy design and with peal beads attached.

Above the decorative ribbon, I added a strip of Washi Tap, with shell designs.  I then stuck on some tiny sea shells and coloured beads.

Finally, I added some Nuvo "Diamond" sequins to add some lovely shimmer and a Tim Holtz Idea-ology word sticker, saying "The most beautiful thing".

Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge - Day 61

Today is Day 61 of the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay challenge.  This week is all about collage.  

I've raided my odds and ends drawers to make this collage.  I've used an off cut of a 12x12 scrapbook paper.  A piece of vellum with a die cut circle in it, tissue paper with a butterfly design, a turquoise coloured Posca Pen some small buttons and some sticky backed pearls.  Finally, adding a Tim Holtz Idea-ology word sticker saying "the loveliest things".

Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge - Day 60

 

Today is Day 60 of the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay challenge.  This week is about "Collage".

For my collage, I have used off-cuts of old scrap booking patterned paper that I have had in my stash for more than fifteen years!  I cut them into strips and layered them across a 6"x 5" card.  By memory the brands used are Crate Paper and My Minds Eye.  Then with the remaining papers I punched circles and glued them over the striped background.

I mounted the colourful background on to a piece of white card and then stuck a Tim Holtz "Paper Doll" of a wedding couple.   Finally, I added a Tim Holtz "Idea-ology word sticker staying "never meant to last".

Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge - Day 59

Today is Day 59 of the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay challenge.  This week is all about "Collage".

For my collage card, I have used a mixture of patterned paper and a hand made background.

I've stamped various tickets from the Globeland "Vintage" stamp set in three shades of Versafine Clair inks, using Nocturne, Medieval Blue and Blue Belle.  I inked the edges in the same ink and coloured/painted the large ticket in the background using Derwent Inktense Pencis and a white gel pen.

Finally, I used a stamp from a Tim Holtz / Stampers Anonymous stamp set called "The Journey" for the "Enjoy the journey" sentiment, stamped in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.

Clarity Star Flower Sprey Stamp Sympathy Card

While we were away last week, I received some sad news that the wife of my dear cousin has passed away. The news was a shock, she was a lovely warm, kind and caring woman.  I think what hit me more was that she was my era.  The first of the Cousins to pass.  Although we didn't see each other often, I will miss her.

Anyway, I needed to get a sympathy card in the post and was not really feeling crafting to be honest, so I replicated a card I made a while back, which I felt would be suitable to send to a male.

In the background, I have used "Cornflower Blue" Ranger Archival Ink through the Clarity Stamps "Peacock Pattern" stencil, fading the colour out towards the top and the left hand side.

Using Versafine Clair "Medieval Blue" ink, I stamped the Clarity "Star Flower Sprey" stamp.  I used the same ink to stamp the small "With Sympathy" sentiment, which is part of the Simon Says Stamp "Tiny Words" stamp set.

Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge - Day 58

Today is Day 58 of the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay challenge.  This week the prompt is collage. 

For my collage, I started with a piece of cream coloured card, colouring areas of it with Versafine Clair "Sand Dune" ink to give it a more aged look.

I added brown splatters, to replicate foxing, by tapping a brown Posca paint pen over the surface of the cream coloured card.

I had saved some of that course brown paper that is in some Amazon packages.  I tore a piece off, scrunched it up then flattened it.  I then dragged a Versafine Clair "Pine Cone" ink pad over the surface, so that it hit the higher areas.  Then stuck the paper down on the cream coloured card.

In my stash, I have some book pages that I had tea dyed some years ago.  I tore a piece of one of the pages up, inked the edges using "Gathered Twigs" Distress Oxide Ink and then stuck the piece of book page on to the card.

I added a line of Washi Tape with a music design about two thirds down the card.

I had some pretty tissue paper with a butterfly design on it.  I cut a small area off and stuck it to the card with Distress Collage Medium.

I used a Tim Holtz Idea-ology word sticker, saying "in the garden" and finally added some dots of Liquid Pearls called "Gold Pearl".

The Crafting Niche 52 Week Mini Art Card/Tag Challenge 2024:

The prompt for Week 16 is "Stencil"

*****

This is the tag that I have made for the Week 16.  I started with a cream coloured tag, colouring the surface with three shades of Ranger Archival Inks, using Buttercup, Sunflower and Bright Tangello.

I used "Vermillian" Ranger Archival Ink through the Clarity Stamps "Bijou Bookprint Stencil" in three different positions off the edge of the tag.

Next I used Ranger Archival "Watering Can" ink through the stripes section of the Clarity "Birds Decorative Panel" in the blank areas.

I lay the Clarity "Barbara's Star Flower Spray stencil" over the tag and applied Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink through the stencil.  I then inked the edges of the tag using the same ink.

For extra detail, I went around some of the areas with a black fine liner pen. I also added dots and lines using a metallic gold gel pen.  Finally adding some dots of pale blue Posca Pen to the middle of the flowers.
