Only 47 More To Go!



Here are the ICADs (Index Card A Day) for week two.

I'm working on 4x6 Index Cards.

be perfect for Tammy's "yellow" prompt.

ICAD # 10 is for Tammy's "Galaxy" prompt.
The other ICAD members were doing such fun circles,
I had to join in.

stamping.


Hello

Neocolor background, stamping with Stazon and brush markers
and using "stuff" from my scrap/stuff box.



Butterfly

This was fun.
Torn book page, modeling paste, acrylics, fluid acrylics and scraps.


Critter
ICAD for Day #13
This little critter is on a 4x6 Index Card like the others, but
I mixed some of the techniques I've been learning from Juliet Crane's
I like him and he loves to tell a story!


Paisley
ICAD for Day 14.
Using Tammy's Paisley prompt.
Neocolor background 
(I made a bunch of neocolor backgrounds while waiting for an appointment.)
Brush markers, micron pen.

That's it for week two.

Today marks the end of the Index Card A Day Challenge.

When I compare this year's cards with the cards from last year, well, I've come a long way baby.

Here are a few of the 61 cards.

There were botanicals.

Finally, the last card of the challenge.
