The 100 Day Project 2026 - Day 21



Today, is Day 21 of the 100 Day Project 2026.  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 21, I used "Mermaid Lagoon" Distress Oxide Ink on the back of the Funky Fossil Designs "Large Polka Dots Stencil", spritzed the ink with water then lay it over the white card, using a piece of kitchen roll to capture any surplus ink that came through the circles.  Lifted the stencil, then blotted the card with the kitchen paper.

Once dry, I drew round a lid using a black fine liner pen, adding some dots on the line at intervals. I then drew round a smaller lid with the same pen, but added close lines across the surface of the circle.

Next, rummaging through my box of paper off-cuts, I found two circles.  On the larger, mid blue coloured one, I used Versaifine Clair ""Warm Breeze" to stamp the Funky Fossil Designs "Halftone Fragments" stamp..On the smaller circle, I used a white gel pen to add smal polka dots, then glued the discs into position.

Finally, I added the signature bird from a Dina Wakley collage paper set and a Tim Holtz "idea-ology" word sticker, saying "Cherish".

Lavinia Stamps "Shadow" and "Shimmer" Pods Card


 

Today, I have had a play with a couple of the stamps from the recent release by Lavinia Stamps.

Using Versafine Clair "Acorn" brown ink, I stamped the new Lavinia "Shadow Pods" and the "Shimmer Pods".

In the background, I used two shades of Ranger Archival Inks, using Chrome Yellow and Sunflower colours through the Lavinia "Honeycomb" stencil. I then added some depth of colour to the bottom left hand corner by using "Fired Brick" Distress Oxide Ink.

I used Derwent Inktense pencils and a gold coloured gel pen to colour the pods and drew in some grass too.

Finally, using Versafine Clair "Acorn" brown ink, I stamped the sentiment, which is also by Lavinia Stamps and is part of their "Heartfelt Verse" stamp set.
