52 Week Mini Art Card / Tag Challenge 2024 - Week 9

The challenge for 2024 is weekly.  I will 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 Crafting Niche 52 Week Mini Art Card/Tag Challenge 2024:

The prompt for Week 9 is "Patterned Papers"

*****

This is the tag that I have made for the Week 9

In my stash, I had some patterned paper pages from a Dovecraft pad called "Sweet Paris", so I decided to use them I added two to the main body of the tag and then topped and bottomed the tag with a patterned paper border.

I lay a Tim Holtz / Stampers Anonymous "String - THS004" stencil diagonally and used "Pink Peony" Archival Ink, through the stencil.

Then on the left hand side of the tag, I positioned a Tim Holtz / Stampers Anonymous "Rosette THS092" stencil and used "Vibrant Fuchsia" Ranger Archival Ink.

Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I added some stamping using a Sizzix / Tim Holtz Alterations set called "Paris Adventure" adding a post mark and also "Paris, New York, London" address stamp.

I inked the edges of the tag using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink and then mounted the tag on to black card.

Finally, I added touches of gold and raspberry coloured gel pen to the tag.
