Here are Week seven's offerings for the ICAD challenge 2021. Above, from top, clockwise: Lilac (inks and stencils), Roundabout (photos I took at a Christmas market), Kaleidoscope (inks and stencils).
Pond (watercolours and stamps), Record Player (royalty free image from unsplash, stamps and die cut records), Cupcake (stencil, inks and watercolours) and Tropical (inks, die cuts and a piece cut from a paper pad).
I'll post the rest together - the challenge finishes this Saturday.
How absolutely gorgeous, Ellie!! I especially love the cupcake. :) ~Andrea xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks, Andrea. I have enjoyed this challenge and it has made me use some of my stash that doesn't get used that much, so that's a good thing!

I feel so good when I have done some thorough stash busting! In my case of course it is yarn but same difference :-) Some lovely images here especially the roundabout photo. It is going to be interesting to see how you use them. Enjoy. Amanda x
ReplyDeleteThanks, Amanda. It is always good tomake more use of what you have. I am not very good at that as I have loads, but then see a new something and think, "oh, I haven't got one of those!" I am trying to be better at resisting temptation!
DeleteThe cards aren't going to be used for anything else - the challenge was in making a little piece of art every day. I have made a box (out of a shoe box) to keep them all in and they will join last year's. I have enough space in the box for another two year's worth of challenges!

Love the roundabout photos! The record player is very cute too (thanks for the tip on Unsplash). What will you do when the challenge has finished !? Lulu x
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lulu. I am still doing my year long art journaling course and loving it, so that continues every week until December. I have just bought a 'make a journal' workshop so will be watching that and possibly having a go and I also have a watercolour course to finish - it's all about experimenting and using colour, rather than creating 'proper' watercolours. Then there's card making and several sewing projects which have been languishing for some time. Oh, and gardening and reading!

DeleteThanks, Lulu. Don't worry, I always make time for tea (and chocolate), no matter what else may be happening! They are necessities!)

Love your fun (and very varied) takes on the challenge. Your 'experiments' fill me with awe - and gratitude for the beauty.
ReplyDeleteThanks EC and Wow! Your comments are so lovely - I am so grateful for your continued and much appreciated support.
DeleteI have finished the challenge now so will post the final ones soon.

What a great challenge to take part in. You've come up with some brilliant ideas again this year.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jo. It is a fun challenge and it really can be a challenge to think of ideas for some of the words. It was really enjoyable again this year too.
