It's that time of year... Index Card A Day (ICAD) 2019!
It's been a couple of years since I've actually done the whole 61 days, but here's hoping this year I'll finish it. Here's what I've got for Week 1...
 |
| Prompt: Mailbox. When cleaning out my parents' house, I found a bunch of postage stamps that my dad collected. I didn't know he did that! I used some of them on this and some rubber stamp-y images from my collection. |
 |
| Off-prompt. I don't sketch very often but decided to try my hand at it today. This was my breakfast. 😉 |
 |
| Prompt: Magenta. Like many I tend to be a bit of a collector of art supplies. I reached for things I *had* to have that have been collecting dust instead (washi tape, acrylic ink). |
 |
| Prompt: Reflection. I received this little critter graphic in a swap. I cut it in half, glued one half onto the index card and then sketched the missing half. |
 |
| Off-prompt. The end of the school year is fast approaching and the littles have been driving me a wee bit nuts. This day was particularly challenging. Art therapy. |
 |
| Off-prompt. I needed some inspiration and went to the SDC blog. The challenge this fortnight is to use a favorite Stampotique quote. I've always liked this one. |
 |
| Prompt: Stencil. I went straight for the prompt today. I used a variety of stencils on the background with acrylic paint. The final layer I used embossing paste through a stencil. I was really tempted to put a quote on it as well, but decided that sometimes it's okay to just leave it quote-less. |
That's it for Week 1. One of the things I love about the annual 2-month ICAD challenge is that it's a great opportunity to use media I've forgotten about and supplies that I don't usually reach for. The Muse needs a little nudge now and then, wouldn't you agree?
Thanks for stopping by today. Have a wonderful weekend!

These are all awesome! I especially love the bright colored ones! And you did an amazing job drawing the other half of the reflected image I didn't even realize you had drawn it until I read underneath! I think I made 14 last time I attempted index card a Day...lol. I love the quote you added 4 the stampotique challenge card also. Can't wait to follow along and see what else you create! And of course thank you for playing with us in the stampotique designer challenge!

Thanks for sharing with Stampotique! I can relate to your Art Therapy card 🙄. Did you use a photo transfer?? They are all very cool and I love the bold colors.
