52 Week Mini Art Card / Tag Challenge 2026 - Week 19

The Crafting Niche 52 Week Mini Art Card/Tag Challenge 2026:

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 19 is "Vintage Vibes"

For my Week 19 tag, I used lots of bits and bobs I have squirrelled away over many years.  I've used pages of book test, hymn book notes, parts of paper doilies and the brown paper that comes in Amazon packages, to name just a few.

I used a "Photobooth Film Strip", whicjh is part of a Tim Holtz "Idea-ology" set, with a reference of TH93799. I've also used stamps from two Tim Holtz / Stampers Anonymous stamp sets.  Finally adding a small metal locket frame around the central image of the film strip.
