52 Week Mini Art Card / Tag Challenge 2025 - Week 4

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 4 is "Ephemera"

•••

For my Week 4 "Ephemera" tag, I started with a white tag, sticking sections of old unused diary pages on to the tag, till the surface was covered.

Next, I used two Funky Fossil Designs stamp sets, using "Abstractions" and "Musings" with four colours of Versafine Clair Inks.  I used Arctic, Morning Mist, Tulip Red and Nocturne shades of ink.

I found an old stamp that I had torn off an envelope, so stuck that to the top right hand side.  I also stuck the "January" banner which was in an old diary.  

Next, I found a mailing from a wine company, so tore a section out with wine bottles and stuck them to the base of the tag.

I had saved some stickers from a Christmas crackers so stuck the hearts to the tag, then got busy with a red Posca Pen to circle the days of the week.

Edited to add:  this tag kinds of suggest I like a glass of wine or two, I actually don't drink very much alcohol!
