Continuing with the Garden poem for the Craft Barn monthly challenge we have to add a daffodil (preferably dancing) and a hare.
I am finding it very hard to get enthused by this challenge but I've started so I will try and finish. I have chosen a postcard format with a landscape orientation and am finding that once the required elements are added there is very little room for further creativity. I'm probably the only person having this problem but it accounts for my rather lacklustre pages so far. Perhaps by the time we get to October or November I will have got into my stride with this size.
Fortunately I received a daffodil stamp in a freebie set with a magazine recently and whilst I have no hare stamps I do have my Alice Palace bunnies which I thought I could use. I was searching online when I came across this colourful hare which can be purchased as a print by Fox. he seemed suitably mad March hare-like so I decided to incorporate him in some way. I was given several packs of glitter flourishes recently which I thought would be good for depicting the swirling breezes. The daffs were coloured with coloursoft pencils.
That's it for this month, as ever I am curious to see what everyone else has made.
I too have little enthusiasm as I'm using a postcard format, and agree there is little room for creativity, but I'm persevering too! You found a great hare there!
ReplyDeleteYep I think we both used the same daff stamps - maybe they are just the right size for the postcard. I do love your hare ...he's so colourful!! Elaine xx
ReplyDeleteOh my - your rainbow coloured March hare is fabulous! I am also finding limitations with my small book pages and having them in landscape format seems to force me into doing landscape scenes which was never the intention but it is a challenge so I will carry on. Keep going with the challenge, your March page is great.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you're struggling because that is a lovely postcard and I just love that hare! Thank you for persevering with the Craft Barn Month Challenge xx
ReplyDeleteLove your page. The colorful hare really makes it. Having problems also with this challenge as I'm working in a small journal. I guess that's the reason it's called a challenge.
ReplyDeleteI think it is lovely Rukhshana !
ReplyDeleteOoh that hare is sooooo cool! Fab postcard and well done for sticking to the challenge. I haven't managed to join in at all! xxx
ReplyDeleteA beautiful postcard achieved for all your struggle!! I doubt I could have done better:) xx
ReplyDeleteI like a postcard format - in portrait orientation. I used landscape for the Craft Barn Alhpa Challenge last year and did indeed find it a challenge.
ReplyDeleteI love your March page. The colourful hare was a fabulous find.
Lovely postcard and what a fabulous hare! xx
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that you are struggling but your postcards HAVE been creative and this one is fabulously colourful and well designed. I don't know if you are like me and have lots of random stamps collected from magazines and goody bags? I have found these really useful for this challenge. Do stick with it your work is lovely xx
