ICAD 2022 - # 30 Magical

Next card # 30 - Magical.  

Week 5 Theme is: Working in series with a continuing theme or constraint.

Not quite what you expected for the prompt is it!

Well, I sooooo was going to do something with a unicorn (naturally!), but then I came across the Artist die cuts in Art by Marlene's XXL Book and knew my card was going to use them.

I used my last mop up card as my background and then placed the die cuts where I thought they would help create an artist desk.

Now if you are like me, these artists out there make these products look magical and oh so easy to use when they demonstrate how to use and create their art pieces.......fast forward to when they are in my hands, and my project is fast becoming mud, one big puddle or just, what was I thinking!

So this is my "Magical".

See you tomorrow!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

ICAD 2022 - # 29 Neon

Next card # 29 - Neon.  

Week 5 Theme is:  Working in series with a continuing theme or constraint.

Today sees the start of week 5! Wow, where has that time gone!

I used the "Neon" set of acrylic paints by Art by Marlene - just perfect for today's prompt.

I added one of Marlene's die cuts as well.

I grabbed my white gel pen and popped some shining stars and falling meteors for interest. 

See you tomorrow!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

ICAD 2022 - # 28 Parachute

Next card # 28 - Parachute.  

Week 4 Theme is:  Patterns, Murals, Motifs &/or Wallpaper.

Well this one ended up ok. 

It started great with using an old credit card to drag down two strips of acrylic paint over the card.

The blue and pink looked great, then I added some yellow, and yuk, so tried some green which didn't help so I added more green and then decided to add some stenciling. 

I used one of the little stencils from Art by Marlene's 2021 Advent Calendar. Instead of paint or ink, I grabbed a black gel pen and traced it where I wanted it and then used my black journal marker and coloured that in.

Next my die cuts and again with the gel pen, adding my parachute strings.

Then looking around, I found this great saying to add to her to finish her off.

See you tomorrow!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

ICAD 2022 - # 27 Plaid

Next card # 27 - Plaid.  

Week 4 Theme is:  Patterns, Murals, Motifs &/or Wallpaper.

Today I was pretty unadventurous again.

My image is from the Gentlemens Club Collage sheet by Gecko Galz, and my paper is from an old Kaisercraft pad called Attitude!. I have got a little white wash over it.

I also used a scrap of "plaid" and negative die cut laying on my desk. LOL, this is one way to clear up bits off my desk.

See you tomorrow!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

ICAD 2022 - # 26 Poem

Next card # 26 - Poem.  

Week 4 Theme is:  Patterns, Murals, Motifs &/or Wallpaper.

A quick easy one today!

Grabbed another Alice page, with a poem, of sorts.

A couple of stamps and some distress ink pads and all done.

No  need to explain this one, it is super easy.

See you tomorrow!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

ICAD 2022 - # 25 Portmanteau

Next card # 25 - Portmanteau.  

Week 4 Theme is:  Patterns, Murals, Motifs &/or Wallpaper.

When I looked up the meaning of "Portmanteau", it mentioned Lewis Carroll and Alice in Wonderland. Well, seeing as I used a page from the book yesterday, it was within reach. I looked it up and decided to use the page mentioned.

I adhered the page and then grabbed some acrylic paint and a piece of bubble wrap and had a little play, avoiding the two sentences.

Here's where I decided to let my intuitive side take over.

I grabbed some white acrylic paint and using my finger, I smudged over the bubble bits to dull them a touch. 

Next was to use some washi stickers on the two opposite corners.

I got out one of my Bee Arty Stamps and ink pad and stamped off in a few places.

I thought it was missing something and found this rose sticker on my desk so I used that too.

Lastly, I grabbed my black gel pen and did a line around the two sentences to bring focus to them.

Wow, so happy with how it turned out. I love it!

See you tomorrow!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

ICAD 2022 - # 24 Print

Next card # 24 - Print. 

Week 4 Theme is:  Patterns, Murals, Motifs &/or Wallpaper.

I enjoy doing Alice theme projects so figured with the theme of "Print", it would be good to grab a page out of an old Alice in Wonderland novel I bought a few weeks back from the Bookfest for $2.00. 

So I ripped the page a bit to how I liked it and adhered. I then grabbed my Grunge Collection MASKSL55 stencil and used my Stormy Sky distress ink to go over it. 

Such a great pattern, like 4 Rabbit holes just there! I sponged the edge of my card wit Black Soot distress ink.

I then added my die cut Alice by Stamperia. 

Too much fun!

See you tomorrow!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!
