Good morning!
I hope you are all staying well out there. 🙂
Here’s the prompt for April – I picked all the prompts for this year back in December and well, this palette is pretty perfect at the moment:
It’s the perfect board to create some rainbow-inspired projects – whether with the ROYGBIV colours or just using the feature shades in the image.
Here are some more tips to get you started:
- Uplifting sentiments – we all need a bit of sunshine at the moment and even if you are unable to send cards or give them in person, make something uplifting and display it in your own home so you get to enjoy it.
- DIY backgrounds – that painted chevron background could be easily recreated, but I’m sure you could make diagonal striped backgrounds with stamps or strips of card, colour washes, or collages with patterned paper.
- An odd number – there are five arrows in that photo, why not feature three or five elements in a row or scattered on your project.
- Painterly style – if you have any sentiments with that brushed lettering look, now’s the time to use them!
- Tags – they can be the main layer on your card or an accent.
- Geometric shapes – triangles are always a good one, or like the rabbit on the tag, faceted stamps and dies would work wonderfully.
- April showers – don’t forget those umbrellas! They’re great for a spring theme.
- Pencils – a great colouring medium to use on your project. Even if it’s just a white pencil for adding depth to solid stamped images.
I hope those ideas are useful. I’ve not had much time to craft the past few weekends. I thankfully still have work in that is keeping me occupied during the day and there are other things that have needed my attention. But my notebook of to-do projects is there reminding me what to make when I’m ready to get back to my craft desk.
Stay safe and happy crafting!
