ICAD - Post # 4

So, I've completed a few more index cards, 7 more actually, bringing my total to 26 which means I've caught up! (Hmmmmm...or not caught up. I should probably have 27 cards to be considered caught up, right? Anyhoo....) Now remember the ICAD motto though if you're playing along or thinking about starting, "You don't need to catch up, just start."

And here they are......

Prompt: Fringe



Prompt: Snowman



Prompt: Dragonfly



Prompt: Fabric



(I'm thinking about making this one into a cover for an ICAD mini book.)

Prompt: Quote



(Yep, thousand upon thousands of inspirational and/or uplifting and/or insightful and/or humorous quotes out there and I pick a two word sentence from a late-night talk show host.)

Prompt: Experiment



[My (feeble) attempt at getting more artsy. Inspired big time by Sara at Sarathings. Go and take a look at her index cards. They are absolutely amazing.]

Prompt: Your Name



Prompt: The Universe



(Subtitled: Hey, diddle diddle.....)

(Yeah, this picture is absolutely terrible but since it's the perfectly legible text that's the "meat" of the card not my horrendous drawing I'm not going to bother to take a new photo.)

So, there you have it. Why not grab a pack of index cards and give it a go? No pressure art......it's a blast!

  5. OOF! and to think i actually BELIEVED ya when you said you could not draw!!! and yet here is a totally cool, totally recognizable, super-fun-style moon and earth to illustrate a HILARIOUS joke!!! duuuuuude! you can TOTALLY draw!!!!!!!!!!!! as for the rest of these: what a ♥BRILLIANT♥ way to do your name (i love the subtext of the police car, btw!); completely fab & NON-feeble SUCCESS at awesome artsyness; i ♥looooove♥ the torn bits on the flamingo photo (i'd say that makes it "zebra-inspired" as wel!!!) AND any CF quote is automatically great, imo; the fabric looks super-cool and WOULD make a great cover; gorgeously minimal stampin on "dragonfly"; BEST snowman ever... but then... you have a headstart bein' in canadia and all!!! ;) and of course the fact that the "fringe" card is about the SHOW fringe just totally rocks my world! (i agree with regard to the difference betw "willing suspension of disbelief" and just bein' STUPID... it's a fine line, but one KNOWS immediately when it's been irretrievably crossed!)

    AWESOME all round, missus!!! ♥♥♥ (are you as sad as i am that it's HALF OVER already?!)

Okay, so ever since I started my blog (well, maybe not right from the get-go, it was probably a good six months or so before I realized you could change it from just "Leave your comment") I've tried to come up with something witty to type here.

*sitting with brow furrowed in concentration*...*staring at the ceiling while pursing lips*...*resting with head on hand while tapping foot*...

Nope, I still got nothing.
