ICADs, a short week (and more)

I have only two ICADs today.  I was going to save them until next week, but decided since I had them ready and scanned, I would share them.

Day 2

Day 3

Thanks for stopping by to see the first of these ICADs.  If you want to join, please see the ICAD on my right sidebar.  It will take you to Tammy's blog.

Since I only had two ICADs to share, I'm also joining Halle at Halle's Hobbies, who is our host this month at Art Journal Journey with her theme Words to live by.

This is a Russian Proverb and reads "A kind word is like a spring day."

These children are certainly enjoying this spring day.

I began this page (110 lb card stock) by adding four different handmade shimmering mists, some of which didn't want to spray.  I liked that the colors looked a bit like the grasses in the field, so I continued spreading the mists, rather than misting them.  I sewed the book page and the computer generated text I colored using water soluble crayons to the image of the girls in the field, then sewed the entire assembly to the substrate.  I was planning to run the fancy fiber around the image, then realized it wouldn't look like a frame, but more like a mess.  Instead, I sewed the fancy fiber I doubled to the bottom of the page.

Thanks for visiting Bleubeard and me today.  I hope you will join me at Art Journal Journey with your own art inspired by Words to live by, too.
