Stampin' Up "Studio Sketches" jug and pear card

A quick play in my craft room, using a stamp set that has not seen the light of day for a very long time. It was originally going to be a clean and simple design, but my mind took it into a very "busy" direction resulting in this card.

I used a wood mounted Stampin' Up stamp set called "Stuido Sketches" using the jug and pears stamp, stamped in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.  I then painted the image with Distress Oxide Inks.  The colours of ink I used are:  Dried Marigold, Bundled Sage, Crushed Olive, Peeled Paint and Speckled Egg.

Undecided what to do next, I cut up sections of Tim Holtz Idea-ology" collage paper and glued it on to the card in random positions, overlapping the text in places. 

I then used a black and peach coloured Posca Pen to splatter acrylic paint across the surface.  Finally adding a Tim Holtz "Idea-ology" word sticker saying "be open to whatever comes next".  I thought this sentiment apt as I had absolutely no idea where I was going with this card!

The 100 Day Project 2026 - Day 98

Today, is Day 98 of the 100 Day Project 2026, and it's another clean and simple design from me.  This is a challenge where you spend a short time each day creating, using the mediums of your choice.  Mine is 4x4" card, using collage, stamps and stencils.

For my Day 98 I cut an aperture using a Spellbinders circle die in a piece of white card, discarding the middle and using the remainder as a frame.  Then in pencil I lightly drew round the circle over a piece of card of a matching size, so I knew the area I would be working on.

I put the circle frame to one side and stamped the wading birds, part of a Stampin' Up stamp set called "High Tide", using Versafine Clair "Nocturne: black ink. I then painted the background scene using Distress Oxide Inks,  The colours I used are: Antique Linen, Tumbled Glass, Broken China and then Speckled Egg for the sky area,

I used Versafine Clair "Morning MIst" grey ink to stamp the grasses, which are also from the "High Tide" stamp set.

I glued the circle frame over the top of the painted area, then fussy cut a swallow from a Dina Wakley collage paper set and added a Tim Holtz "Idea-ology" word sticker saying "always take the scenic route".

Next I used one of the stamps from the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs stamp set called "Garden Elements - TE30", stamped lightly in Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink. Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I stamped the lily (from the same "Garden Elements" stamp set), on to the prepared background and then on to an off-cut of white card.  I fussy cut the one of white card, glueing it into position over the stamped image on the background.  I added some colour to the lily by painting with "Saltwater Taffy" Distress Oxide Ink.

I added some dots of white and black Posca Pen around the lily.  Then fussy cut a Dina Wakley swallow from one of her collage paper sets. Finally adding a Tim Holtz "idea-ology" word sticker saying "keep moving forward".
