The Craft Barn and Index Cards

Hello Everyone

I hope I find you well, and managing to stay warm or cool, wherever you maybe. We have been enjoying some seasonal weather and with much needed rain, mainly at night time, making sleep a little more comfortable. 

Today we have more index cards to share with you, but first of all I would like to share my July page for The Craft Barn's Calendar Challenge.

The two words we have to use in on our page this month are

Turquoise and Beach Huts

Because I want to use my Gelatos on all my pages, I wondered what I would do about the colour, so I looked up how to create the colour turquoise, and after mixing Butter cream & Cotton Candy, I was very happy with the resultant colour.  

I drew my bunting and beach hut with pencil then went over it with a silver pen. When that was dry I coloured everything with my turquoise mix. I then added the words, washi tape, the month and days of the week. Et voila!

If you would like to see what others created for this month, then simply click on the Calendar Challenge link above and you will be whisked away to lots more beaches.

Now here we have days 33 and 34 of my and Wee Man's index cards.

Day 33 from Wee Man

was created with a large XCut butterfly punch, some Wink of Stella to colour their wings and some small stamps in the background.

My Day 33

'I Love Lucy' drawn with Pitt pens and coloured with pencil crayons.

Day 34 from Wee Man

is Happy Teddy Bears, punched from a paint chip strip.

Day 34 from me

was created with used postage stamps and Wishing a safe and Happy Independence Day to all my friends who celebrate it.

Until next time

Take care, be happy.

And Wee Man of course :D

Anti Journal Page

Hello Everyone

I will be quick this morning, the sun is shining and I better take advantage of it before the clouds decide to scupper my plans altogether ;)

In my Anti Journal this week:

The prompts for these two pages were to 

Build a Pattern from a Pattern 

and 

Try to Draw Perfect Circles by Hand

For the pattern I used various Pitt pens and Pigma Micron pens and for the circles I used my gel pens. 

I'm looking forward to seeing what Carolyn and Karen have been upto in their Wreck it journals,

I will be back tomorrow with more Index Cards and my Summer of Colour piece.

Until then,

Take Care. Be Happy

Wee Man's ICADs 15 & 16

and granny's of course

Here, as promised yesterday, albeit a little late in the day, are our next two index cards.

Wee Man's Day 15

Hot glue patterns and watercolour paints.

I really enjoyed squirting the glue with granny's glue gun, but it hurt my hand a bit, so granny helped me. After it was cold and hard, we added lots of different watercolour paints. I was very surprised that the paint didn't stick to the glue. Granny said it is called a resist. 

Here is granny's day 15 card.

The background was created with watercolours and wet teabags left to dry on the card sitting on a heater. I drew the emblem on tissue paper then glued it on. 

Wee Man's Day 16

I stencilled the bus with a blue pen onto a card that had some old map paper on it that granny sprayed blue.

I added the windows with red pen and used a silver pen on the wheels.

Here is granny's day 16

Doodles with a black Pitt pen on the inside of an envelope stuck to my card.

Thanks for popping by to say Hi. I hope you enjoyed looking at our cards today.

Hugs from Wee Man

and granny of course
