Only a partial Index Card a Day round-up, because this year June first fell on a Saturday; so there are just three index cards to show so far, but I'm already having fun and today is Mandala Monday, so let's get this 3x5" show on the road!
ICAD24-03: Mandala Monday
In my ICAD box, I found an index card that I'd apparently used, at some point, to blot up miscellaneous watercolor, and even though some of the colors were a bit muddy, I decided it would make a nice mandala. I added semi-symmetrical lines with black Letter It Fineliners from Ranger; white paint pen highlights; and, since it was very funky and wrinkly at the edges, I trimmed it down and sewed it to an index card divider with an appropriate tab.
ICAD24-02: Zinnia
Zinnias are a flower I enjoy doodling, so that's what I've done using my Tombows and some Letter It Fineliners on a gridded index card. I sliiiiightly ran out of room for my lettering, so let's pretend the bold blooms grew so quickly and exuberantly that they covered up my perfectly thought-out title! 😉
ICAD24-01: Door or Portal
Coming straight in with a One Staple Collage for the optional Day 1 prompt of Portal or Door. What’s a One Staple Collage? It’s an Index Card a Day tradition, and, as the name implies, the brief is to create a collage which is held together with… wait for it… one staple! In this case, the layers consist of (from the bottom up) a yellow index card; a topographical map of the moon; a scrap of Kannada text; a cluster of daisies; a Georgian facade (with door/portico) and a word cut from a children’s dictionary, having left juuuuust enough space for the staple!

I'm posting my index cards daily on my Instagram account @llaurenb@llaurenb and planning to do blog round-ups weekly. More info about Index Card a Day on the Daisy Yellow Art Website and/or the @indexcardaday Instagram page!
