ICAD 2023 - Week One

 Hello Everyone.

It's time for Tammy aka Daisy Yellow Art's ICAD challenge again. An index card a day for the months of June and July.

Here's my cover ICAD.


This year I thought I'd try and follow the prompts. Here are my Week One cards and the prompts.

1. Sapling.


2. Polka Dots or Graphic Dots.


3. Map.


4. Espresso


5. Zebra or Striped.


6. Wildflowers.


7. Treble Clef.


I'll be using collage throughout, I'm still trying to get through my huge stash of fodder.

Have a great new week,

Alison

365 Somethings - Days 156-159

 Hello All. 

I hope you're having a lovely weekend. The heat has been turned up here, 30 degs C is too hot for me outside. I'm planning to chill and make some art today, and catch up with some blogging.

Here's my latest set of collages for the 365 Somethings challenge.






And I captured photos of Canada Geese and their fluffy family on a walk recently. They guzzled up the duck and swan food I gave them.



We've had a lot of Starlings and their young visiting our bird feeders recently, 20 or 30 at a time. They make a lot of noise, but their antics make me smile. You can see our back lawn doesn't get mown. We like to encourage the wildlife.


That's all for today.

Thanks for visiting.

Thanks for visiting, hope you're having a good weekend.

June's Art Journal Calendar

 Hello friends.

I have my June art journal calendar to share with you today, and I'm linking it to Matilde's All About Numbers theme at Art Journal Journey.


For my base, I used some 7gypsies printed tissue, then I scraped on some Seaglass Fresco acrylic, and used PaperArtsy stencils with Little Black Dress Fresco acrylic for the journaling ovals and title.


And here's my completed May calendar, mostly country walks with my Hubby, friends and various walking groups, and my birthday on the 24th.


Have a great June!

Try It On Tuesday - Make It Masculine

 Hello All.

I'm so thrilled to be this fortnight's guest designer at Try It On Tuesday, with the fabulous theme 'Make It Masculine'.

Here's my card art for the challenge. I used some Carabelle Studio stamps, and fluorescent pink acrylic ink to add colour.


Please head on over to the TIOT challenge blog to see the teams' fabulous samples, and to join in with the challenge.
