Tiny Pieces of Art - July

 At the beginning of the year I started a year long challenge courtesy of Linda Pearson on Facebook

I decided to use index cards as I had a little booklet of these in my stash. 

I like this format as I have been doing the Index Card a Day Challenge during June and July for some years now.

This is how far I have got so far:


This month's prompts are as follows:

Week 1
Images from Bugaboo (no longer trading) painted with water colour. 
I added the raindrops - stamps by Designs by Ryn with added glossy accents.


Week 2
First layer is fabric stitched in place. I then added embossed clouds and raindrops (Embossing folder from Apple Blossom), emphasised with scorched timber distress ink. Girl and sentiment stamps from Altenew. White blobs of dimensional dot paint.


Week 3
Water coloured rainbow background. 
Stamps by Art by Marlene, Altenew and Designs by Ryn.


Week 4
Background Gelli pull.
Added yellow fluoro paint and silver pen.
Quote from the internet.


Week 5
Window die cut.
Papers from my stash. 
A selection of snowflakes.


Happy Crafting!
