My next long challenge, ICAD, has started. I started taking part in this is 2021. This photo show my last five years.
This is this year - the first month's themes and the themes for the whole 9 weeks.
I have done the first few days, following the prompts but not necessarily the theme.
Day 1 - surfboard
The sea is a Visible Image stamp in blue distress ink,
the surfer a Stampin Up stamp in Versafine Clair and embossing powder.
The sand is texture paste through a stencil, followed by yellow distress ink.
Day 2 - type
This is just a collage of scraps from Graphic 45 Typography.
Day 3 - magnolia
I drew this and painted it with watercolours.
Day 4 - yearbook
I used a collage of photos and then added some penwork and colour with Art By Marlene markers.
Day 5 - trace
I used an image from my stash and then a layer of printed vellum. I traced through this with a fineliner.
Day 6 - scarlet
This was a whole lot of scarlet bits and pieces including ink drips, gelli plate pull, diecut and magazine letters.
Day 7 - seahorse
I used a sparkly card base followed by a die cut oval (trimmed to fit) with colour added using distress inks. The seahorse is a Lavinia stamp embossed in black.
Day 8 - coneflower
I used various papers pieces on the base distressed with vintage photo.
I added flowers I painted with watercolour and cut out.
I added clumps of tiny beads to the centres.
