Index Card A Day 2017 - Day Three

Hey everyone! It's ICAD time again!

What is ICAD?
It stands for Index Card a Day. Basically, for 61 ones, you create a piece of art on an index card. It can be as simple or as elaborate and you want. The goal is just to have a daily creative practice.

 I wanted to play around with different elements and textures today. I used a sewing pattern, some masking tape, patterned paper, metal stickers from Tim Holtz and some resist canvas. I used Tim Holtz Distress Spray Stain to colorize everything. It was really interesting to see how all the different elements took the color.
 I have been really inspired by DeeDee Catron and how she uses hand stitching on her projects. So, I grabbed some DMC embroidery thread and made some little X's on the sides.

Thanks so much for looking!

"Create Joy" || Mini Junk Journal

I have the first page in my mini junk journal to share today! It is on ledger paper which I made sure to cover with clear gesso so the paper would hold up. it is a very Dina Wakley-esque page, with a splot of Dylusions Ink and some magenta paint. It came together very quickly, which is exactly what I wanted for this 'art everyday' venture. To see exactly how I made it, you can watch the process video at the end of this post. There is also a complete supply list with links to everything I used on this page.
