52 Week Mini Art Card / Tag Challenge 2025 - Week 15

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 15 is "Easter"

I started with a piece of patterned paper in quite muted tones with birds and flowers on.  I then used a hand cut stencil, from using an oval die on card and "Pink Peony" Ranger Archival Inks t create an Easter Egg background over the patterned paper.

Next, using "Leaf Green" Ranger Archival Ink and a torn edge of copy paper, I created the layered landscape at the base of the tag.

I then used the Lavinia Stamps "Mini Pipin", the "Shrooms", "Thyme" and the "Rosemary" stamp with Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the images in first and second generation stamping.

I added extra detail using a white gel pen and pink Posca Pens, finally adding a "Happy Easter" sticker to the tag.
