ICAD 2021 # Day 6 Canoe or Kayak

Ok Canoe or Kayak for Day 6 had me stumped a bit.

Then I remembered that when we did our Cruise in 2019 to PNG, we hopped in 2 canoes on our tours....

Lol, they both leaked! and must say I didn't feel that safe in either of them when we got going.....

but we did it, and we didn't sink so that was a bonus!

They are true handmade canoes those ones!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

ICAD 2021 # Day 5 Verdigris

Ok, so we are on Day 6..... I ran out of day yesterday, but I did start it if that counts!

Now I have finished it before I tackle today's theme.

So Day 5 was Verdigris - hmmmm, must admit I did have to look this one up and imagine my surprise that I should have known it! The blue/green from copper, commonly used for Steampunk.

Here it is before I spritzed with water.

I have to say that I am mega impressed with myself! Wowers, I think it looks like ones I admire all the time!

So I used a modeling paste through one of my Uniquely Creative stencils that I think came in the Advent Mystery Package last year?? Not 100% sure about the package, but I do know it was from them.

Once it dried overnight, I then grabbed out my Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain Distress Inks and on top for the Verdigris effect, I used Broken China and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide inks.

Last step was to spritz with water and when dry to add my description. 

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

#jjec60 Europe / Pocket

This week our #jjec is up to 60 and it's all about Europe and pockets.

I had some postcards that I used, along with some washing tape and postcard ephemera in my stash.

I quite like how it turned out.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

ICAD 2021 # Day 4 Snowglobe

Day 4 and Snowglobe is our prompt today.

Not very Adventurous today - I couldn't find a snowglobe as such in my stash - god knows with the amount of files, stamps, etc that I have you'd think I would have one I could use......will probably find one when looking for something else tomorrow!

Anyway, I grabbed some dies from Uniquely Creative and set about creating my own snowglobe...

I used one of my backgrounded cards and adhered my three die cuts. 

Grabbed some markers and was aiming for a Christmas Tree sort of scene....lol, around a lake.....

gotta love the glitter circle frame though hey!?

Well, I did at least get it done on Day 4 so I am claiming it as a win for me..

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

ICAD 2021 # Day 3 Lyrics

What a fun prompt for Day 3 - Lyrics....now to pick a favourite song!

I did some backgrounds using Distress Paints and then after drying, had to pick which one would work best.

My favourite song at the moment is Beer Can't Fix by Thomas Rhett so naturally I chose to use it for this prompt.

 

Printed on tissue paper again - love how it turns out!
I used some white gesso on the reverse side to have his singlet less transparent - soooo cool!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

ICAD 2021 # Day 2 Snapdragon

Day 2 and our prompt is Snapdragon.

I found a couple of photos on google that was just right to print on tissue paper and added to my index card.

Gosh, I am super impressed with my new printer!

I know this would not have turned out so great with the old one.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

ICAD 2021 # Day 1 Contraption

It's that time of the year again - Index Card A Day for 61 days!

I did this for the first time last year and continued for 84 days ... and I used the Heidi Swapp Dex Card Die to create my own from patterned papers and then decorated.

This year I am thinking of sticking to the 61 only, and using actual lined Index Cards I have in my stash.

With that all worked out, here is Day 1 - Contraption

I used a couple of my Index Cards when I was spraying my mists on another project as I figured it would give them a good starting point. So you can still see some of the splashes on this one.

I looked up the prompt word Contraption and decided to cut it out of one of the dictionaries I have for this purpose to go along with a print of a photo I found on Google that caught my eye.

I also did a second card with the "Bonus" prompt being One Staple Collage.

I did this one just for fun.

A fun way to play along with the prompts. 

See you tomorrow for the next one.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!
