ICAD 2015, Cards 5 and 6

Card 5 is a little abstract.  I drew from my journaling prompts box.  

The three cards were:

Do a monochromatic theme

Use numbers

Make lines with side of a credit card.

This is what happened.

Card 6 is inspired by my love of Chai tea.

I stapled on a tea envelope and tag.

The cup I drew and colored with watercolor pencils.

The border is a Dylusions stamp.

ICAD 2015, Cards 3 and 4

Continuing on with Cards 3 & 4

This one is stamps, watercolor pencils, white Signo pen. 

Acrylic paint wash for background.

Again, an acrylic wash background.  The map is an old, old stamp.

I shaded it with some colored pencils and distressed the edges of the card.

ICAD 2015

I was inspired by art videos to participate in 

Daisy Yellow Art's 2015 ICAD Challenge.

I like the challenge because the "rules" are 

relaxed and running for only 2 months makes

it a doable option for me. 

No stress, short time-line, and lots of

fun to be had!

"Fragrance"

This page is in my big art journal.  

I really tried to loosen up with this one and 

not try to be my usual perfectionist--

even getting my fingers into it!

I enjoyed this free-style method and will 

certainly try it more often!

I love the quote:

"Nothing brings to life again a forgotten memory

like a fragrance"

~Christopher Poindexter

There are lots of smells that trigger memories for me.

What are some aromas that do that for you?

Thanks for watching the video:
