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.

WOW! WOW! WOW!

Kathryn and Marianne you two are amazing. Such wonderful cards with great imagination and fun techniques.

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
25. Portrait-I chose orientation - landscape from scrap paper.
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.

Marianne, these are fabulous! But then I expect no less; you and Kathryn have set the bar pretty high!

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.

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.

Kathryn is camping this week with no wifi but she said she was taking some crafty supplies with her.

Thanks a lot, Debi.

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.

OMGosh Marianne! They are all fabulous and so creative with your interpretations. LOVE the scrap landscape.

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.

This thread is amazing. Such artists among us.

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
Kathryn.

Boy, you all have been doing some beautiful art work on these cards. Loved looking at every one of them.

And other great set of cards, Kathryn.
