This is my third year and I really enjoy the challenge of doing a small index card art every day for the months of June and July.  Here are numbers 41 to 50 of my Index cards to show on my blog. If you would like to follow me on Instagram at @sandybeachart I have been putting them up on there daily.

Butterflies.

In my art journal today.  I made a card recently with some Darkroom door stamps. When I was practicing the technique with distress inks and spraying watercolours, I had a few butterflies that I really liked. I cut them out and had them on my desk, so thought I would make an art journal page for them to sit on.


I used my Neocolor II and a waterbrush for the background. Then I went over it with Gesso to tone it down. I added the Donna Downey stencil words with some Decoart acrylic paint in Purple Pizzazz over the top and then added circles with black Gesso and splattered it all with watered down white Gesso. So all just fun stuff to do.

Here is the card that I did with the distress inks and Darkroom Door stamps.


Have a great day

Recycled art...

I thought I would post what I did the last few days. I had this huge piece of card that was going into the recycle bin and thought I would have some fun with collage and painting on it. I am not sure what it is going to turn into yet but I sure had fun adding all the circles, arrows and dashes.

First I covered the whole thing with collage with my Helmar Decoupage glue, then let it dry overnight. Today I just grabbed some of my favourite coloured DecoArt paints and filled it all in with random lines and circles. Lots of doodling and dots with pens. Had to finish off and add some splatters at the end.


So just a quick post adding a bit of colour to your day.

Have a great day
