Really fun to see what you have created . . . I have my index cards, did three cards . . . and not any since. Three count though . . . I need to find a place to have my cards, brushes, "stuff" out all the time . . . (My hubby took over my "guest bedroom, creating room, office" for a few weeks while he completed one of his construction managing projects which makes me feel like a "fish out of water!") Soon . . . more . . .
Wow ~ all so lovely! I really like Fleurs with the works in the pretty script. Lots of beautiful creativity! :)

Okay gang, I'm starting to slow down!
I keep telling myself I CAN manage one index card a day.
Here are the next seven cards.

ICAD # 36 for July 6, 2014: Butterflies.
I had to do something with all those images from napkins!
Background is watercolor and rubberstamp.

ICAD # 37 for July 7, 2014: Birds and Butterflies.
The last of the napkins! YeeHaw!
Background is fluid acrylic, rubber stamp, then the napkins.

ICAD # 38 for July 8, 2014: Fleurs.
Watercolor, some rubber stamping.

ICAD #39 for July 9, 2014: This kitty wishes that you Live Long and Prosper!
I've been taking Juliette Crane's Serendipity class and used a lot of those techniques here. 4x6 index card with torn paper (various papers, some written on, some with lines, a little ledger -- very miscellaneous and torn into small pieces).
Then acrylic paint "mushed" on.
The kitty background is Golden Fluid Acrylic Nickel Azo Gold.
Then I used Pastello colored paper chalk to do the shading.
The star is from another index card I cut into star shapes.
The bird is from the bits and bobs box.
I sprayed a fixative over the top and will finish with a layer (or more) of mod podge.

ICAD # 40 for July 10, 2014: Bouquet.
Watercolor and pencil.

ICAD # 41 for July 11, 2014: Mother Nature.
Celebrate Mom with a little green!
I used a dried leaf I found on a walk (months ago) and tried to use it as a stamp.
You can see that didn't work, but left cool markings.
Sprayed with dylusions.
Postage stamp.
Stamped words on tissue paper (that way ... if I mess up i don't mess up the whole card!).

ICAD #42 for July 12, 2014: Bits and Bobs.
I cleaned off my table top and this is what I got.
I didn't use up all the scraps so they went into the b&b box!

My fave is ICAD # 41 -- because I love the beautiful song of meadowlarks. It's the music of my prairie childhood. I miss it very much.

You've been busy being creative, Snap! I bet it's so hot in Houston that the inside coolness feels good.

Wow Snap!
These are wonderful!
I'm going to add you to my sidebar so I remember to see what you're up to!
