ICADs for July 6 through July 12

Tammy at Daisy Yellow has challenged us to make these ICADs.  It's never too late to start, according to her.  And I want to apologize to those of you who are only using a Flickr account.  I can't leave comments because I am not a member.  I simply don't have time to join another group.

Day 36

 Once again, I wanted to get back to my hearts.  But I also wanted to follow the weekly theme, too.  So I found an image of a postage stamp, one of the themes, and layered it over a magazine image and a heart cut from junk mail.

Day 37

Another of the weekly prompts was texture, and these circles, left over from my first Summer of Color entry, were the perfect way to show various textures.

 Day 38

Still another theme was folding, and also stamping.  I stamped the ruler, and added the butterfly in which I folded the overlay in half.  The solid butterfly was textured using a stamp and white embossing powder.

Day 39

This IC began with a bit of dictionary page, over which it was stamped.  Again, you can see my hit and miss stamping ability.

Day 40

This is another stamped image over some of my homemade shimmer mists. In all honesty, it took three attempts to get this image even half right!!

Day 41

I was going for texture here, when I found this old, dead lighter in my garden the other day.  What a surprise, when I realized I could tear off the outer covering/skin.  I decided to burn the edges of the IC, then add a bit of ribbon that must substitute for washi tape, another prompt, and words.

Day 42

For my final IC this week, I went to my "texture" folder and found all these beauties.  I paired them with a lovely lady.

Some of these are great examples of ICs, others are not my finest work.  But, I'm keeping up with Tammy and I hope you are, too.  And those of you who just want inspiration, please check out what others are making.  They will blow you away!!
