Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge - Day 72

Today is Day 72 of the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay challenge.  This week is all about using crayons.

I was experimenting with melting a wax crayon with a heat gun and allowing the wax to drip down the book page.  When the wax had dried it made me think of blood, so this took me towards the dark side, evolving into this.

I used "Shadow Grey" Archival Ink through the Visible Image "Dark Hearts Stencil".  I then used "Jet Black" Archival Ink though the Visible Image "Ye Olde Christmas Stencil".

I added extra colour to the background using "Sea Grass" Archival Ink and then inked the edges with "Tulip Red" Versafine Clair Ink.

I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the butterfly, which is the Visible Image "Live Life Now" stamp. Finally, I added a Tim Holtz Idea-ology Clipping Sticker saying "A glimpse of heaven".

52 Week Mini Art Card / Tag Challenge - Week 18

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 18 is "Weather"

*****

This is the tag that I have made for the Week 18.

I've used three colours of Dylusion spray inks for the background colour, using Lemon Zest, Fresh Lime and Bubble Gum.

I've used Distress Glaze over "Crushed Grape" Dylusion ink through the Tim Holtz "Rays - THS003" stencil.

On the computer, I printed "Here Comes The Sun" in red, cutting it down and sticking into position on to the rays.

I then used four shades of Posca pens, using red, orange, yellow and white colours to draw on dots of colour on the lighter rays.

I then added gold dots using a metalic gold gel pen.  

I inked the edges of the tag using "Tulip Red" Versafine Clair Ink.

I mounted the tag on to a piece of black card and then drew around the tag using a metalic gold pen.

Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge - Day 71

Today is Day 71 of Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay challenge.  It's the start of a new week of prompts, this week is "crayons".Crayons are not my usual choice of colouring product, so I'm a little out of my comfort zone with this prompt.

I found a sheet of dark blue paper with quite a shimmer to it.  Not pearlescent, but very close, so I decided to use that as the base.  I used three metallic shades of crayons (silver, gold and bronze) to draw wavy lines across the dark blue paper.

I lay the Clarity Stamps "Leafy Strip Stencil" over the top and secured with low tack tape.  I mixed a spritz of Dylusion "Fresh Lime" ink spray with some Ranger "Opaque Crackle Texture Paste'.  Once mixed together it had a look of pistachio.   I used a palette knife to apply the mixture over and through the stencil.  I lifted the stencil and cleaned it immediately so that the paste didn't dry on it. Then used a heat gun to accelerate the crackling of the surface of the leaf.

I mounted the paper on to a piece of navy card and then on to a piece of green card. Finally, I added a Clarity Stamp "Word Sticker" saying "Dreams come true".

Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay challenge - Day 70

Today is Day 70 of the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge.  This week is all about "Dollar Tree Finds" but as we don't have the Dollar Tree shop here in the UK, I am creating what I fancy instead.

I used Prima Confections "Tropicals" water colour paints to create the background.  Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink and "Morning Mist" grey ink to stamp the toadstools, insect and grasses, which are part of the Hobby Art Ltd "Garden of wonder CS227D" stamp set.  I've added touches of Posca Pen to create the impression of small flowers.

Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge - Day 69

Today is Day 69 of the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge.  This week the prompt is "Dollar Tree Finds", but as we don't have a Dollar Tree shop in the UK, I am having a week of creating what I fancy.

In my stash I found a circular gel plate background I had made a couple of years back, do decided to use this as the base of the card.  Over the top, I used two shades of Ranger Archival Inks "Magenta Hue" and "Shadow Grey" through the Funky Fossil "Scandi Starburst" stencil, moving the stencil about so the colours overlapped.

On a piece of white card, using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink I stamped the flower arrangement, which is part of the Funky Fossil Designs "Hello Gorgeous" stamp set.  I also stamped the sentiment, which is part of the Funky Fossil "Stripped Back Sentiment" background.

I fussy cut the flowers and glued on to the card, adding a touch of colour using a Derwent Inktense pencil.  I cut down the sentiment and inked the edges, then stuck that on to the card using double sided sticky tape.

Funky Fossil "Polite Society" stencil sympathy card

Sadly, it's time for another sympathy card, so I've gone with a  clean and simple sympathy card design.

I've worked straight on to a white card blank for this card, using Ranger "Sky Blue" Archival Ink through the Funky Fossil "Polite Society" stencil, fading the colour our towards the top and the left hand side.

Using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink, I've stamped the flower from the Funky Fossil "In the meadow" stamp set and the greeting from the Funky Fossil "Stripped Back Sentiment" stamp set.

Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge - Day 68

Today, is Day 68 of the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay challenge.  This week has a prompt of "Dollar Tree Finds" but as we don't have that shop in the UK, for this week, I am making things as I please.

Starting with a cream coloured tag, I used two shades of Distress Oxide Inks for the background stripes (Picked Raspberry and Spiced Marmalade).  Over the top of that I used the Funky Fossil "Circle Cascade" stamp created by "Dellow Designs" with two shades of Versafine Clair Inks (Summertime orange and Charming Pink).

Next, using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I stamped the flowers and butterflies, which are part of the Funky Fossil Designs "In the meadow" stamp set.  Finally adding some white dots of Posca Pen to break up the colour.
