ICAD 2019 - Week 7

It's been two weeks since the Index Card a Day challenge has finished. I enjoyed getting my head around the prompts, to be creative everyday in June and July.

Here is Week 7 (I am so behind in sharing). There is two more weeks, 8 & 9, which I will share on Monday.

I you can't wait until then you can see them all on my Instagram feed.

ICAD 2019 - Week 4

22. bicycle

I actually painted Summers bike tyre with some watercolour and ran over the card several times!

23. Poem

I am currently doing a Cognitive Behaviour Therapy course, because life is about learning. It is really helping me be more mindful of my thoughts, better ways of coping with my overactive negative mind (I really am a positive person!), and maybe I may help someone else one day. That's where the poem comes from.

24. Music Box

Pencil drawing is, I am finding, my quick go to when I don't know what else to do. I really enjoy it. My daughter Isabel is discovering a love for it too. 

25. rose

This was a mix of a couple of different ideas. I had a photo of the Just Joey rose on my necklace and earring corkboard. I dissected it for this creation.

26. Tinker toys

I did need to google this prompt. "What the hell are tinker toys?".

27. Corduroy

I found some corduroy fabric in the stash to make this card a corduroy garden.

28. Architecture

ICAD 2019 - Week 1

Just like the last time I took part in the Index Card a Day challenge, I am letting the daily prompts lead my creativity each day.

Title card for 2019

I used an old calendar picture of the Tantanoola cottage gardens for the background. Drew a picket fence, complete with letter box and gate on plain paper, then used a stanley knife for cutting out.

Lyric from the Peppermint twist song painted onto card

I achieved this fabulous colour by finely slicing a beetroot and dragging it across the card. Then grating the beetroot to make the pattern. 

Watercolour paint. I splotched on some runny paint on the top half of the card, then folded it to make a reflected impression.

Fine sharpie and red texta. 

There's a palette of autumn leaves in the garden. I picked some and drew them in 6B pencil onto autumny coloured paint chips, then glued to index card.

Watercolour paint. I used black for 'cherry baby', then wiped the paint off so it faded. I found some of the kids stencils among the mess that is their play shelves and added the cherries.
