* Path of Positivity: Spring Has Sprung

 

 Hello!

Today is the start of a new Path of Positivity challenge.

The challenge lasts for the month of April.

This month the theme is Anything Goes with the optional twist of 

Make me Smile/Laugh.

Prizes this month include:

• TWO digital images from Hetty Clare our guest sponsor for this month, for a person chosen in a random draw based on all qualifying entrants. 
• ONE image (value of $5 or less) from Scribbles Designs, for the post or project that the team deems most inspiring of the bunch based on all qualifying entrants.
• One digital image from Creative Bug Digital SnapShots for each person chosen as a DT Delight.

Our optional theme this month is Share A Smile/Laugh.

So, this month we want you to create a project that makes you smile or laugh.

What brings a smile to your face or makes you laugh? How do you share that smile with someone else? What we show on the outside can become how we feel on the inside. So, if you've been feeling low, how about putting a smile on your face to help you put a smile on your heart as well! Anything with a fun or funny theme is perfect for our challenge this month.

Please remember ...

... in order to be eligible for the prizes your project must be positive, inspirational, motivational or encouraging in some way. 

Anything cute and or whimsical brings a smile to my face - I love sweet images and particularly ones of cute animals doing human activities. If it is an image, I actually like to see the animals dressed in clothes and I am particularly fond of Victorian, anthropomorphic cats. Am I weird? I don't think so! I blame it on all the story books I was read when I was a child - Beatrix Potter and Wind in the Willows and, a little later on, in the 1980s, Brambly Hedge.  Oh, Happy Days!

Anyhow, on to my project for the start of this month's challenge.

Here is my card using one of Hetty Clare's beautiful, whimsical images. This one is called 'Spring has Sprung'.

Now this sweet image of a bunny family playing at skipping on a spring day just has to bring a smile to your face!

I coloured the image with Copic markers. I made a rough paper mask from a second print and placed it on top of my coloured version so that I could blend some inks to represent the sky. I used a Lawn Fawn die to cut out the image.

I decided to make my own card for matting the image upon. I did this by blending Scattered Straw ink onto white card and then I repeatedly stamped a flower image in the same colour of ink.

I typed the sentiment and matted it onto inked card before attaching it to the image.

Many thanks to Hetty Clare, this month's guest sponsor,

and to Scribbles Designs as the ongoing sponsor of the challenge
