52 Week Mini Art Card / Tag Challenge 2025 - Week 2

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 2 is "Retro"

For my Week 2 "Retro" tag, I started with a plain white tag, using two stencils from Funky Fossil Designs to create the background pattern.  The two stencils I used are called "Retro Pattern Builder" and "Retro Pattern Builder 2".  I used three shades of Ranger Archival Inks through the stencils, using Sky Blue, Magnese Blue and Cobalt.

Next, I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the words "Retro Vibes" and "You're a classic", both sentiments are part of the "Wired For Sound" stamp set by Funky Fossil Designs.  Finally, I added some touches of silver glitter pen to some of the stencilled areas.
