March, Yellow and a Rabbit


Here's my next page for The Craft Barn's Calendar Challenge where for March the words are YELLOW and RABBIT.

Yellow is fine, but I was struggling with the Rabbit part.  I decided it was time for a new stamp but Mr Google wasn't helping.  I'm not keen on cute/cartoon images of which there are hundreds but I did in the end find this Deep Red Rubber Bunny Rabbit stamp - very realistic and I'm sure will come in useful for Easter too!!  


The background is a blend of Oak House Studio Pigment Inks - Green as Grass, Lemon Yellow, Golden Yellow, Tangerine and some Green Oak for the catkins.  The stamps are from Chocolate Baroque's Spring Foliage set and I've used Potting Soil and Emerald Green Archival.  The grass is the edge of an Oak Tree stamp and I've just finished with the calendar for March.

I think my rabbit looks quite content in his glade and it was fun to do.  Thanks for visiting and for your comments - they are much appreciated.

    What beautiful stamps you have used, (especially the catkins), and I think the colouring is perfect. Wishing you a wonderful weekend ahead :o))

    Knew I would find you had posted your March page - thank you for your comment on mine! Love that bunny stamp you found - and those foliage stamps too. I always want all those stamps that other people use and I don't have! ;D

    You made the right choice, he's a real bunny in a real glade. Very good scene!

    You met what was quite a challenging theme head on and conquered it here I'd say Elaine. Jenny x
