ICADs: June 17 through June 23

This week found me quietly sewing away on my ICADs or index cards we make every day.  There are many people making them this year.   The idea was conceived by our host, Tammy at Daisy Yellow.  According to Tammy, it's never too late to start.


Day 17

This one was simple.  I found three pieces of ribbon, then cut them to size and sewed them to the IC using variegated thread.  Then I printed the word "Soar" and colored it.

Day 18

When I find anything that even RESEMBLES the Wizard of Oz, I am drawn to it.  I layered the ruby slippers and dictionary page over two layers of scrapbook paper (thanks Annette).


Day 19

It took longer for the glue to dry than if I had sewn these collage elements together.  A bit of color was added to the silver circle and letters.

Day 20

Possibly my favorite IC to date, I started with a dictionary page, then layered a Baby Bell cheese wrapper over that.  In order to cover up the words and logo on the cellophane wrapper, I cut a heart from scrapbook paper, then added a face over that.  I added the lace just because it was on my table.

Day 21

This element came from a strip of hand dyed fabric to which I tried to add writing.  I should leave the words and doodles to others!

Day 22

You probably can't see the words "Live in the moment," because I sewed over them, not realizing I had covered them beyond recognition.  But, after the lovely heart I made on Day 20, I got an epiphany.

Day 23

I decided to create a series of hearts.  Sewing them to the ICs made it even more enjoyable.  Here I started with red felt, then painted gray cardstock, collage fodder, and finally, a painted heart.  I really MUST learn to cut those hearts better!

I hope you enjoyed this week's worth of ICADs.  I've now renewed my interest in this project.

I'm also linking to Creative Every Day (CED) later tonight. 

And please don't forget to visit other ICAD players.  Each person brings her/his own perspective to this project, and it is a delight see what others have made.
