Back again with my postcards for The Craft Barn's Twelve Month Challenge which is based on Sara Coleridge's poem. I spent most of April decorating my lounge which meant I had to pack all my craft stuff away and so I missed entering last month but I've had chance to make it now.
April's Challenge was all about primroses and daffodils so I've simply added some bright yellow/orange daisies to an inky background and then finished with the lines from the poem.
May is about lambs and this is another month where I have no suitable stamp. As ever the trusty internet came through and I found this cute image of a lamb. I just printed him on some card and flipped the image and printed some smaller ones for the distance. The background is coloured with Distress Stains, some blobs for hedges and I used a grass stamp at the front.
Am I the only one that thinks the natural world has changed - Sara Coleridge died in 1852 so the poem is well over 160yrs old - but lambs should be April and the lines for June are all about tulips which are well and truly over in my garden. Don't get me wrong, it's a lovely poem but it doesn't seem to fit the modern world these days. Anyway thanks for popping by and leaving comments - they are very much appreciated.
