July Swaps!

For July the SWAPS are image transfer flowers and plants. And Washi Tape, I had no idea what Washi Tape even was until I found a link on how to make my own.

Besides one of the ICADS this week calls for Washi Tape so I'm glad I went out and got the supplies to make my own.

To transfer stuff I'm going to use the masking tape trick and print some flowers off the interwebs.

More Cards!

July - 7 Monochromatic - Stained with tea.

Here are three more cards for July...

July 5 - Stripes, the rainbow one is the sky, the green and blue one is the ocean or a lake that the train is going by. One of my favorites so far for July and we've just begun.

July 6 - Pattern, found it on the interwebs and drew it with colored pencils.

July 8 - Harry Potter 

Close up

Everybody's been painting with tea and coffee so I think I'm going to try that on my next card. And then the painting over Elmers Glue on some card in the future. (I haven't made July 7 card yet)

July 2 ICAD

Today was fun, yet crazy. 25+ kids showed up at the library today to draw and paint. We weren't expecting that many and some kids had to stand, not enough chairs for everyone. When the big group left I got a chance to use some water colors and make my index card for today.

Happiness

Water colors over white crayon and a black Sharpie flower.
