ICADs Days 57-61

 Hello all from a wet and windy UK. 

I have my final 5 ICADs to share with you today. I've really enjoyed the challenge of following Tammy's prompts this year.

Day 57 - Bird. An easy one, I used one of my watercolour birds that I painted a while back.

Day 58 - Illustration.

Day 59 - Peaceful. Watching the bees and butterflies in my garden. They love the lavender and marjoram. I painted the lavender with watercolour, and added bees and butterfy images cut from a magazine. You may recognise this as the icad I used on a junk journal page.

Day 60 - Filigree. Painted with gold watercolour. It has a beautiful shimmer.

Day 61 - Mosaic. Definitely the most fiddly one. I cut pieces of patterned papers to look like broken pieces of china.

Thank you so much for your lovely comments on my ICADs this year, they've all been great appreciated.

Have a lovely weekend.

ICAD Week 7

 Hi Everyone.

Here are my Icads for week 7 of Daisy Yellow Art's Index Card A Day challenge.

Day 43 - Patina. I used bead gel to create the texture.

Day 44 - Wabi-Sabi. Had to look this one up. Embracing imperfection and the simple things in life, from what I could gather.

Day 45 Repeat. I love dots :-)

Day 46 - Millefleur. I watercolour painted lots of flowers.

Day 47 - Vermillion. Did some torn paper-weaving and used Cadmium Red acrylic for my background.

Day 48 - Raindrops. Inspired by a saying here in the UK. We get a lot of rain!

Day 49 - Focus.

We're getting close to the finishing post. There are some tricky prompts in week 8, but I'm looking forward to the challenge.

Thanks for visiting me.

ICAD Week 6

 Hi Everyone.

I have my week 6 ICADs to share with you today.

Day 36 - Imaginary.

Day 37 - Metallic. I used shimmery and gold watercolour paints.

 Day 38 - Zodiac. I'm not into zodiacs, but gave it a go. They're not quite twins, but close enough :-)

Day 39 - Levels.

Day 40 - Chandelier. I used some transfers for this.

Day 41 - Float or Buoy. Really pleased how my watercolour painting turned out. Forgot to add a shadow, but maybe it's behind :D

Day 42 - Trivia. Newspaper crosswords came in handy for this one.

Do you have a favourite?

ICAD Week 4

 Hello Friends.

Today I have my Week 4 index card art from Daisy Yellow Art's ICAD Challenge to share with you.

Day 22 - Unexpected. 

I used only a tiny bit of collage and not my usual choice of colours, so it's unexpected from me.

Day 23 - Enchanted Forest

Day 24 - Bubble.

Day 25 - Dictionary.

Day 26 - Pinball. 

Decided to go abstract with this one, and hadn't intended it to look like a flag, as some people have thought!

Day 27 - Indigo.

Day 28 - Asanoha Pattern.

Attempted sketching freehand, not measuring the angles- 2nd time lucky (ish)!

Thanks for dropping by.

 Hello friends.

Today I'm catching up with sharing my week two index cards for Daisy Yellow Art's ICAD challenge.

Day 8 - Butterfly

Day 9 - Magenta or Fuchsia

Day 10 - Signpost

Day 11 - Glyphs.

Day 12 - Moonlight.

I'm enjoying the challenge of keeping to the prompts...so far. I used to really worry about drawing things like the typewriter, but not so much these days.

Before I go, as it's Father's Day, I have a card to share that I made for my lovely Dad.

It also happens to be my parents' 63rd wedding anniversary today, and here's the card I made for them.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
