The 100 Day Project 2026 - Day 42

Today, is Day 42 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 42, I painted the background colour using a kids water colour set.  I then positioned various patterned and plain papers in my box of collage birs, till I was happy with the layout and glued into position.

I added a swallow from a Dina Wakley collage paper set and a Tim Holtz "Idea-ology" word sticker for the sentiment, saying "live gently upon this earth".  Finally extending the dots on the patterened paper to the base card, adding a flight trail to the bird, using a black fine liner pen and adding dots to the plain card using a gold coloured gel pen.

The 100 Day Project 2026 - Day 38

Today, is Day 38 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 38 I used two shades of Distress Oxide inks, smooshed over the left and right hand side of the white card.  The colours I used are "Tumbled Glass" and Salvaged Patina".

Over the top of that, I lay some printed tissue paper that wrapped my order of inks, purcheased from Inkylicious Crafts.  I added the swallow, which is part of a Dina Wakley collage paper set, to the top right corner.  

Next,  used a blue coloured Posca Pen to polka dots, then circled the larger dots with a gold ring using a gold coloured gel pen.

Finally, I added three Tim Holtz "Idea-ology" word stickers, saying "One Ordinary Moment'.

Versafine Clair 2026 inks

Today, I received my order of the six new colours of Versafine Clair Inks for 2026.  I ordered them from Inkylicious for an amazingly low price of £27 plus £3 postage - a real bargain compared with the other prices I have seen for the same inks.

My Versafine Clair ink drawers were a little on the messy side, so while I had all the inks out on my desk, I decided to make colour swatch cards.  Quite often the inks are quite different to the colours on the lids, so I like to actually make my own charts rather than printing something out. I left the Nocturne (black) and Morning Mist (grey) off the list as I know the colour they come out

The 100 Day Project 2026 - Day 37

Today, is Day 37 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 37 I've used torn strips of patterned paper glued on to the white base.  Using a fine liner green pen, I added some wavy lines.  I have then added some Tim Holtz "idea-ology" collage paper and a swallow from a Dina Wakley collage paper set.  Finally adding some black lines to frame the collage.
