Index Card A Day
Re: Index Card A Day
Thanks for the comments. I thought I had limited supplies with me but I'm surprised how much I do have.
And I'm using my gelatos which usually sit in a drawer at home ignored. I watched a video by faber castell yesterday and they sliced off slivers of gelatos and smooshed them into various mediums to make different color pastes. I might try that since I didn't bring gesso with me, only gel medium.

Here are my Week 4 cards. New week starts on Thursday.
22. Vanishing Point-lavender farm we went to last week.
23. Alice in Wonderland-fancy wine label we drank a few days ago
24. Caravan or RV

26. Green-gelli print I glued to card before I left home
27. Farm-Collage from a brochure about fruit and veggies grown around where we are staying.
28. Dashboard-original meaning is a wooden board in the front of the carriage to protect occupants from mud and dirt thrown up by the horses' hooves.

Re: Index Card A Day
Marianne, these are fabulous! But then I expect no less; you and Kathryn have set the bar pretty high!
Re: Index Card A Day
They're all wonderful! I love the "dashboard" card. It annoys me that people call an agenda a "dashboard". Stupid thing to be annoyed with but that's the way I am.

Super cards!! Great ideas!
Reminds me.... I was putting things away from re(create) and looked through all my gelli plate pages.... I need to start playing with those again - maybe with my new stencils... LOL ... and then I need to USE them!! Thanks for the nudge on that, too!

Thanks and I agree completely, Pam, what is that supposed to mean. Anyway I loved finding the original meaning of the word.pamcook wrote:They're all wonderful! I love the "dashboard" card.

Re: Index Card A Day
Thanks! My favorite part of the cards is getting the idea and then figuring out how to do it with my few supplies. I may have to do another trip to the tourist office for collage fodder. Their junk mail selection here is really poor.Keitha wrote:Marianne, these are fabulous! But then I expect no less; you and Kathryn have set the bar pretty high!
Kathryn is camping this week with no wifi but she said she was taking some crafty supplies with her.

Add some more layers to your prints. I like to also cut out parts of them into flower, leaf or other shapes and use as embellies in my journal or on cards or pages. What I used on the green card was a scrap leftover from cutting it all up.
Re: Index Card A Day
OMGosh Marianne! They are all fabulous and so creative with your interpretations. LOVE the scrap landscape.

Re: Index Card A Day
Love all your cards, Marianne and Kathryn. I'm almost caught on the first three weeks. I really need to lay them out and take a picture of them. I'm like you, Marianne. I enjoy taking the prompt and figuring out what to do with them.
Dashboard, yeah, totally agree. I was thinking dashboard on a car but like your choice. Haven't done vanishing point yet, that was puzzling me. Marianne, your card sparked an idea.
We've had to be out of town a lot lately and that's put me behind where I wanted to be. But no worries, I'll catch up. They are fun to do and can be challenging when going off someone else's prompts. But that what makes it fun.

Re: Index Card A Day
We had a lot of rain in the Lake District last week, I guess that's why there are lakes! So I had plenty of time to get the craft bag out.
1, Simplicity, Paint Chip, Alphabetise
2, Sprout, Rainbow, Starburst
3, Gear/gadget, Vanishing Point, Ying/Yang
