Index Card a Day (ICAD) - Week Four

Here we are at week four.  We are not quite half way through the ICAD challenge, but things are still going well and I have used all the word prompts so far.
The words were: Anchor; Terrarium; Emerald.
I was originally going down the ship anchor route, but then decided roots are anchors too, so went in a completely different direction.
Here are Cappuccino; Bougainvillea; Souvenir and Wind Chimes.  Again, a couple of these were going to be one thing and then I was hit by a different inspiration.  Originally, 'wind chimes' was going to be strips of different papers in a wind chime sort of pattern, but then, having looked at the definition of chime, I was reminded about clocks.  'Souvenir' started as a collection of different ephemera, but soon became all about Paris.  I have visited Paris twice and loved the museums and galleries, so this seemed very appropriate.  Paints, papers, stamps, stencils and texture paste have all featured in making these images this week.

  1. I love these. I often think about making the needlework kind but have too much on the go at the moment.

    1. Thanks, Briony. Sometimes it's about knowing how much time you have to give to projects. I must admit that other things have got left while I am concentrating on this challenge. I am enjoying it a lot though, so that's OK. The other things will wait for me.

  2. Love your ingenuity - AND the finished product.
    Tree anchor me to the world so I particularly like your take on that prompt.
    Stay well, stay safe.

    1. Thanks, EC. I am surprising myself with the art work from these prompts. I thought I would be more literal, but am liking the way things go in their own direction.
      Stay safe and well too.

  3. I love the creativity that comes with the idea/prompt. I love that you have taken them off in your own direction. Once again I love the finished cards.

    1. Thanks, sustainablemum. When I first see the prompts, I usually get some ideas, but the finished product can often go in a completely different direction. I have had the odd blank moment, when inspiration doesn't come staightaway, but that's what the internet and family members can help!
