I tackled some mounds of paperwork pertaining to mom and dad this morning and took care of a few orders of business for ourselves also. Then I went into my craft room to clean up my work table a little. It really wasn't bad...not enough to stop creativness but in the process of just putting a few supplies away I picked up a sponge with orange ink on it and there was an virgin index card sitting right there.
So, I started smearing the ink on the card and when it didn't want ot give up anymore ink I spritzed it with water and kept working. I had another pouncer with some greenish ink on it so added in some green highlights and then spritzed the card with a little water and smeared it to soften. I suddenly had a nice background!
But now, what to do with it? I started putting away some scrap papers and saw one had some vintage ads on the backside including an old typewriter. Fun! I fussy cut it and laid it on the card. Some interesting words needed to come out of that typewriter. What I have been doing for the couple of years...trying to find my new life since I am not a mom anymore. Okay, you are always a mom but what happens when you don't need to mother on a daily basis anymore? I need to write a new story about myself.
And just like that...Today's ICAD was born. I didn't try to follow a prompt..even my own. I thought my prompts would make it easier but they seems to handcuff me more. Anyway, at least for today I am back on track. I hope to make up the missing 4 cards but if I don't...that's okay!
