ICAD's 11 & 14

 I did miss a few day's of ICAD!  But I'm back at it!!!  

This Purple Pretty was a prompt....

 #11. "Purple Flower"

I was clipping my coups, surfing daisy yellow, and thought why don't I use purple from the ads...

So I cut out all purple ads, and made this little pretty! 

 

 

Then the prompt for today was 

#14. "Stripes"

Tammy used burlap to make stripes, and I glanced over at my stash of ribbons...

what a great time to use them??  

 

I hope you enjoyed the ICAD's, I will be posting my Tim Holtz June tag today as well, 

so come back and check that out!  It's been over a week in the making!  

ICAD catch up

 I have been a bad ICAD(er?) this week.... 

(If you don't know what an ICADer is go to daisy yellow and check it out!!!)   

As mentioned before I was caught up this week at Jury duty and helping my mother in law at her new shop!  

However today I'm working some overtime (at my regular job) 

and so I thought it would be a good time to catch up on all my missed ICAD's!

  

#9 Alphabet

I am in love with twine, and went to the bakery again yesterday (it's conveniently located down the street from said mother in laws new shop!)

 #8 Mexican plate

I googled "mexican plate" and did my best to copy what I saw! 

#7 Floral

I found a pack of doilies at an estate sale on Thursday, so I cut some pieces off, colored them with my copics and added some leaf details! LOVE! 

#6 Bon Voyage

I still wanted to use the fish prompt, and figured this was the best one to play with!  

So yes, those are fish, not turtles... although turtles would be cute and fun too!!!

#5 Blossom

I was at jury duty, on the 5th floor of the brand new court building, and looking out the windows is a beautiful old building that has a beautiful scroll work on it at the top! 

I tried to duplicate, but didn't even come close... The #33 was my number in the selection pool!  Luckily after two days I got excused!

 What have you done that's creative today???  You still have time!!!

ICAD #3

Things you would take on a journey or trip:

Since I did this one while sitting at my desk at work, I mostly just used my copic markers...

I wanted it to be colorful! 

Don't forget to drop by daisy yellow and join in her Index Card a Day Challenge! 

It really is fun and easy!

What would you take on a trip or journey??  How could you fit that onto an index card?

ICAD #2

If you haven't already seen these prompts, go over to daisy yellow and follow along... 

it only takes a stack of index cards and your imagination!!! 

 

Today's prompt is "ideas for cards"

I went simple with some collaged papers, some stamping, some yellow and red distress inks and a little list...

I got a "new to me" Counting Crows cd today and thought I'd like to smash one of those songs...

Maybe an ICAD instead!!!

ICAD #2

  

In case you can't tell from the pic, that list is on grid paper that I distressed!  

What can you create with a card and your imagination today??  

Index card a day #1

Quite a while back I stumbled upon daisy yellow an amazing blog

that explores art journals and is generally just 

heavy on colors and textures!

Just up my alley

Starting June 1st she is doing ICAD, or an Index Card a Day

It's a challenge to do something on an index card every day!

She gives a prompt, and also gives idea's of what to use

Today is day 1, 

the prompt is "Take a Voyage"

This is my card... I distressed the edges,

and in the true spirit of the saying I tried my hand at drawing an Eiffel Tower

did some stamping and the writing, added a few old postage stamps and voila! 

So if your feeling adventurous, and are ready to take on a daily challenge...

Check out ICAD!  it's a no pressure way to try new stuff... without it "counting against you"
