Hello Friends!
Do you remember last year in June and July I got involved in an online art challenge called ICAD, which stands for Index Card A Day? It is an annual event organised by Tammy Garcia over on
Daisy Yellow. Although ICAD is now closed for the year, there's lots of other things to discover on Tammy's blog, so you can pop over for a quick peek {well, there's so much to read, it won't be that quick} ~~~
It's such great fun, with lots of wonderful and imaginative creations to see from so many talented people taking part, such an inspirational and friendly group of people, and making lots of lovely new friends along the way ~~~
Well, I joined in and I've been up to it again! I've picked out two or three that I want to do again on proper watercolour paper as soon as I can. When you are looking at these, please remember that they are made on index cards, so the scale is quite small ~~~
With the weather being anything but summery it has been a lot of fun to have something creative to do indoors. Some of the daily prompts were challenging, others were quick and easy, and some took ages to do. Here is a quick summary of what I did in June with a montage of all my June cards, and some of my favourite ones are singled out underneath ~~~ I'll put the daily prompt underneath each one ~~~
 |
| Mix Tape ~ I did a play on words and used sewing tapes |
 |
| Snoopy ~ I copied an image and drew it freehand |
 |
| Cloud ~ always battling the clouds here! |
 |
| Island ~ a collage using a dendritic print and found images |
 |
| Compass ~ stamps, handwritten wording and quotes from Lord of The Rings |
 |
| Cobalt Blue ~ I just had to do the TARDIS |
 |
| Baseball ~ hand drawn images cut out and collaged |
 |
| Bouquet ~ I did Autumn Fruits |
 |
| Landscape ~ I did Carn Llidi which you may recognise from my photographs |
 |
| Orange ~ I did a collage of found orange papers |
 |
| Snowflake ~ die punched flakes on an inked background |
 |
| 1960's |
 |
| Invent A Prompt ~ I chose to do arches |
 |
| Winter ~ a simple, freehand line drawing in ink |
 |
| Space Invaders ~ dandelion seeds in the wind |
 |
| Motel |
 |
| Aqua or Pool ~ I did an aqua pool |
I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed making them. The challenge finishes tomorrow, so in a day or two I'll put up the July cards for you to see ~~~
Until next time ~~~
Deborah
p.s. do you have a favourite? I'd love to know which it is!
