Latest Index card a day

Top left is a patchwork paper hankie heart and some hessian and a little label with a quote on the back.

Bottom left was using a Daisy yellow prompt - a colour I usually use (turquoise/teal) and one I don't usually use - black

Top right, some acrylic paint sponge rollered on in dots with buttons stuck and edged in chalk pastel

Bottom right a little watercolour scene from a card I have on my desk.

Top left is a collage using painted paper from a previous creative endeavour!

Bottom left acrylic paint with Tim Holtz music tape

Top right is experimenting with a new(very cheap) italic pen

Bottom right is a very random piece of sewing using my machine!

Top left is using a Daisy Yellow prompt and the words of a song I love at the moment called "Just the way you are" by Bruno Mars and if you don't know it, here is the link - just terrific words

Bottom left is a picture of some cinnamon bun flavoured coffee mate which I am absolutely certain I would love to bits only they don't sell it here in the UK!!!  boo hoo!

Top right is some stamping with a ticket stamp 

Bottom right is a Paris stamp, some coloured pencil and chalk pastel to edge

And finally, top is some writing with gelly roll metalic pens given to me by my US friend when she came over last year to stay with us and on the bottom is a very random acrylic sponge rollered piece with chalk pastel edging (really loving the chalk pastels at the moment!)

Index card a day

I signed up to do an art index card a day over at Daisy Yellow which I think is a great idea.  And indeed I have been doing my index card each day but I just haven't been posting them so here is a few to start with:

I used all sorts of things on these: top one - sequin waste and spray inks; one on left - covered in Tim Holtz tissue tape then gessoed over and stamped on; one on right a mixture of script tape and fabric tape with washi tape, paint and pastels and a stamped word.  It sure is fun!
