Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge - Day 66

Today is Day 66 of the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay challenge.  This week the prompt should be "Dollar Shop Finds" but as we don't have Dollar shops here in the UK, I am having a week of creating for the sale of it.

For this make I used the Funky Fossil Designs "Tie Dye" stencil with "Chrome Yellow" Archival Ink and "Wilted Violet" Distress Oxide Ink.  I then splattered paint from a purple Posca Pen across the surface.

I inked the edges of the card with Versafine Clair "Fantasia" purple ink then used the same ink to stamp the flower and sentiment, both are part of the Funky Fossil Designs "Hello Gorgeous" stamp set.  Finally adding some dots of orange Posca pen to the middle of the flowers.

I've used off-cuts of patterned papers from a Funky Fossil Designs paper pad called "Neutrals", to create the background collage landscapeof this card. Masking a circle for a moon and edging the moon mask with ink. Stamping one of the Lavinia Stamps "Whimsical Hares" and their "Woodland" stamp in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink. I've also added touches of white gel pen

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.

52 Week Mini Art Card / Tag Challenge - Week 17

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 17 is "Use your initials"

*****

This is the tag that I have made for the Week 17.

I started by painting my tag with two shades of Distress Paint, using a mix of "Villainous Potion" and "Prize Ribbon" shades.  I set the tag aside to dry and then flattened it between a couple of books as it was curling.

I used assorted acrylic paints to paint the three main flowers and foliage in a folk art style.

I then die cut my initials "SCS" and glued into position.  

I filled in the background area by using Posca Pens to create smaller flowers, using pale blue, yellow, orange and white pens.

Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge - Day 64

Today is Day 64 of the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge.  There is a new prompt for this week "Dollar Tree Finds" but as I'm in the UK and don't have a Dollar Tree shop I'll make a card a day with a varied theme.  

I started with a sheet of patterned paper from a Funky Fossil Designs paper stack, which I seem to recall was called "Kaleidoscope".  I cut the paper down and stuck it on to some bright yellow card then on to a piece of white card.

Using some of the same white and yellow card, I cut the flowers, using the Funky Fossil Designs "Doodle Blooms" die set.  I coloured the larger petals of the middle flower by adding a touch of "Squeezed Lemonade" Distress Oxide Ink, then stuck the elements on to the card using wet glue. Then added some "Outrageous" Liquid Pearls to the middle of the flowers.

Finally, on a piece of white card, I stamped the sentiment of "Hello Sunshine" using Versafine Clair "Charming Pink" ink and a sentiment from the Funky Fossil "Small Print" stamp set.

Funky Fossil "Comic Book" Birthday Card

I've mentioned it a few times, that I struggle making cards for males.  I saw the Funky Fossil Designs "Comic Book stamp and die set" and fell in love with it.  Alas, it was sold out, but Sarah must have found more stock, as the next time I looked it was on her site, so I ordered one along with three stencils which I felt would work well with the stamp set.

This afternoon I got to play with the stamps and dies, they are everything I was hoping for.  They're going to make male cards so much easier for me now.

I used some bright yellow paper, stamping the comic style explosion shape in the new Versafine Clair red colour called "Strawberry".  I then stamped the shape again in white card, fussy cutting the shape and then sticking the white over the yellow central area.

I then mounted the yellow paper on to a piece of dark blue card and then on to a white card blank.

Next, using Versafine Clair "Blue Belle" ink, I stamped the word "Boom" on white card and used the matching die to cut it to shape,  I added white foam pads to the underside of the word so that it has a 3D look to it.  Finally, using the same ink, I added the "Happy Birthday" greeting, which is also part of the "Comic Book Words" stamp set.

Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge - Day 63

Today, is Day 63 of the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay challenge.  It is the last day using the prompt of "Collage".  I have found some days more testing than others for this prompt.

For my collage, I have used three strips of Washi Tape by Funky Fossil Designs, paired with off cuts of patterned paper from two paper collections by Funky Fossil Designs (Patina and Textures).

I've added ink to some of the torn edges and also used sections of book print too.  I die cut a tree using the Funky Fossil Designs "Tree Silhouette Die" but decided I prefered the white side to the patterned side.  This then prompted me to add more white to the piece by adding dots and dashes using a white Posca Pen.

Finally, I stamped tiny sections of text using a stamp from the Funky Fossil "Musings" stamp set, stamped in Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink.
