I'm behind again! 

Star Wars ICAD 23 Doesn't look like the picture in my head!

 Wasn't really happy with the first one, so this is my version of what happened when the Death Star exploded!

 ICAD 24 Brown. White and Copper embossed leaves with brown distress ink background

 ICAD 25 Maple Leaf. Leaves two days in a row! This one used Sticky embossing powder with gold, silver and copper flakes.

 ICAD 26 Magnifying glass. Off Prompt! Using up stuff on my craft table.

 ICAD 28 Robot. Off Prompt again. Cleaning up craft table again.

 ICAD 29 California. Off Prompt! There's a bunch of crap laying on my craft table!!!

ICAS 14 and 15

So about half way through the day yesterday, I realized I was a day behind! I was still thinking it was Friday the 13th. So I decided I'd do the Saturday 14th prompt, which was Magenta. I used a Roc Nicholas stamp and my Luminarte Silks to paint the kitty (magenta.) Then a couple of Dyan Reaveley stamps completed this quick index card.

The prompt for the 15th is Stickers. I don't have that many stickers! Shocking I know for a scrapbooker to not have many stickers, but they've never really appealed to me. I've got lots of alphabets though, and since they have adhesive on their backs, I guess technically they ARE stickers. I've also still got a boatload of the butterfly dies I cut out for a prior project , so together here is my 5 minute index card for Sunday.

ICAD=Index Card A Day

I followed a link yesterday and found this blog post about creating art on a 3 x 5 index card every day for 61 days. It started June 1, but you can join any time with no pressure to go back and  "get caught up." It runs through July 31. And there is also no pressure to do one every day. If life gets in the way, as ours has been here lately, you don't have to worry. There are prompts for you to use, or not. It's all up to you. It's meant to take you out of your comfort zone and not think about what the final outcome will be. Since it's on 3 x 5 cards, it's also meant to be loose and free. 

So this is my first index card. I did use one of the prompts for today, which was numbers. I layered a bunch of stencils with various inks and made a little tag with a scrap of Tim Holtz fabric and some Phoomph  in between the tag and fabric to give it a quilted feel. Then I hand stitched some "X's" to mimic quilting. I found a quote online that describes me and numbers to a "T!" "I disliked numbers, and they didn't think much of me either." R. J. Anderson

And there you have it. My first Index Card A Day!
