52 Week Mini Art Card / Tag Challenge 2025 - Week 10

The Crafting Niche 52 Week Mini Art Card/Tag Challenge 2025:

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 10 is "Animal Print"

•••

For my Week 10 "Animal Print" tag, I started with a plain pink piece of card, stamping the Dark Room Door "Animal Print Background Stamp" in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.

I cut the piece of pink card to tag shape, then mounted it on to a piece of black card.  Around the edges of the animal print pattern, I used a silver glitter gel pen, to make the pattern stand out a little more.

I dusted a small off cut of black card with an antistatic french chalk bag then stamped the "Stay Wild" sentiment using Wow! Clear Embossing Ink.  (The stamp itself is from a Visible Image stamp set called '"Stay Wild").  I then coated the stamped greeting in Wow! Super Fine Silver Embossing Powder and heat set.  I trimmed down the greeting, using double sided sticky tape to stick it on to the tag itself.

The prompt for Week 9 is "Sparkle"

•••

For my Week 9 "Sparkle" tag, I started with a plain white tag and stamped the comic book shape (part of the Funky Fossil "Comic Book" stamp set). on to the tag using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.  I then stamped the same shape on a piece of white card and fussy cut the shape.

Returning to the tag with the stamped image, I stuck lots of sequins around the stamped image, right up to the edge of the tag.  I then mounted the tag on to a piece of black card and cut to shape.

I used double sided sticky foam pads on the reverse of the comic book shape and stuck it on to the prepared tag.

On a piece of yellow card, I stamped the word Wow!, (also part of the Funky Fossil Designs Comic Book stamp set) using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink,  I then used the co-ordinating Funky Fossil "Comic Book Words" die set to cut the word.  I stuck the word on to the tag using a wet glue.
