ICAD 2018, 00 thru 09

Hello lovely friends and happy summer! It’s fun to be creating new index card art as part of the 2018 index card a day (ICAD) prompted creative challenge! I started doing this 61 day challenge in summer of 2015, so this is my 4th year creating a card a day during June and July. My friend Tammy Garcia runs this fun event by posting prompts and themes on her Daisy Yellow Art website each year. Everyone can join in for free and post creations on their own website, Facebook page and Instagram Account.

Tammy also runs a paid event that includes extras, like videos and inspiring emails, which may be purchased to gain the full benefit of this challenge. The paid one includes a Facebook group where you can post your ICADs and see what others have posted. It provides a wonderful air of comaraderie with about 300 people from around the world joining, and I enjoy seeing many friends I’ve come to know tremendously! I also like to donate a bit more money to Tammy’s “Tip Jar” to support her efforts in all artistic things! She has several other promoted series listed on her website - all are free to join.

I plan to make another book featuring my collection of 2018 ICAD art after the end of this event, each with a black and white page to color with colored pencils.

Here’s a collage created in my favorite iPhone app, Pic Collage, with a summary view of the cover card plus the first 9 cards, created the first part of June. You may need to click or tap on the photo to enlarge it. I love this simple challenge where the rules are easy to remember: create something every day on an index card. This is a family event so we keep it family friendly, enabling kids to join in too! I prefer using thick, 4x6 inch index cards.

I listed some tips in my last book, “61 Days of Index Card Art,” available at Amazon online in 6x9” paperback as well as digitally in Kindle format, and will have many more tips and tricks in my upcoming book. You’ll be able to see each card on a page, plus have that great ability to color your own rendition of each card. I hope you like these, I’ll be posting the next few cards soon!
