ICAD #1

Index Card a Day is a new challenge I am participating in.  The challenge is sponsored by Daisy Yellow Art and the idea is to create art each day.  Each week there are weekly prompts as well as daily prompts.  This weeks prompt is Typography, found text, poetry, old books, and list-making and today's prompt was mixed tape.  Of course, I jumped all over the mixed tape challenge.  I love cassette tape images because it takes me back to my high school days.  Making mixed tape for people was such a fun activity and my favorite way to flirt.  My Iphone case is a cassette tape,  

On graph paper, stamp the images with Archival Ink Jet Black.  Mask as necessary.  Color lines of graph paper with Crayola Markers.  Adhere to the index card

One LIttle Tag Craft Challenge #117

The challenge for this week on the One Little Tag Craft Challenge is adding fiber.  I don't often use fiber in my art so I have been struggling to keep up with this challenge.  I thought the rope from this stamp set qualified as fiber.  I know it is a stretch but hey I am an artist. 

Clean a stencil by pressing the wet paint a manila tag.  This will create a reverse ghost image.  Let dry.  All images are from Stencil1 and are stamped with Archival Ink Jet Black.  Stamp the star and anchor images first, then mask off using post-it notes before stamping rope image.
