52 Week Mini Art Card / Tag Challenge 2024 - Week 45



The Crafting Niche 52 Week Mini Art Card/Tag Challenge 2024:

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 45 is "Metallic"

***

For my Week 45 "Metallic", I scrunched up some sticky backed silver foil then coated a plain tag, smoothing the surface till it was flat but still had texture.

I used a piece of copper coloured foil sticky backed foil tape, stuck to a piece of card then die cut it into a circle shape.  I used double sided sticky tape to stick the disc on to the silver foil tag.

Next, using a piece of black card, I die cut the woodland scene using a die from Funky Fossil Designs called "Forest Glade Die". on the reverse around the cut out area, I added some strips of double sided sticky tape then stuck the black die cut card on to the silver tag.  I then trimmed the edged down.  Then mounted the tag on to a piece of black card and cut, leaving an equal sized edge to each side.

Using another piece of the same black card, I die cut two black cats using the "Large Sitting Car Die - style 871" by Poppy Stamps Inc.  I used foam pads to sandwich the two layers of cat shaped card together.  Then added more foam pads to the underside and stuck the cat on to the tag.

Finally, I added some white highlight lines using a white Signo gel pen and then added a sentiment, which is part of the Lavinia Stamps "Sentiment Stickers 6" set.

  1. The silver background really shows off the dimensional black cat and trees Sam, and the addition of copper foil covered circle for the sun/moon is perfect, and I love the background texture too and added onto the complementary silver coloured card and with the added sentiment strip which finishes it beautifully. x
