Today we're sharing the 2nd Reveal of our May Main Challenge
from the Design Team.
They have created some beautiful interpretations for you!
Our Main Challenge is based on a word inspiration and a creative challenge.
Word Inspiration - Funny
Creative Challenge - Stripes
HELPFUL TIPS FOR THE CHALLENGE
Where would we be without the FUNNY things in our lives? Laughter is the best medicine and we all enjoy those funny moments. What does the word funny inspire you to create? We need to see in your project how our word inspired you. If it isn’t obvious in your work, then please explain it in your post.
To add to the challenge, we want you to add STRIPES to your project. We don’t mind if they’re bold or soft, wide or narrow, so long as they’re stripey!
Please check out ALL our challenge rules in the RULES tab above.
Now let's see what our fabulous DT has come up with,
inspired by the FUNNY & STRIPES Main Challenge!
DAISY: The word FUNNY inspired me a lot. I am a person who loves to have fun and do crazy things. To represent the word funny, I chose this funny photo that I took with the snapchat app. For the creative twist, I used Tim Holtz's STRIPES stencil on my background.KATRIN MERAGLIA
Katrin: I was inspired by the May Main Challenge, to remember the magical and FUNNY Broadway shows from the 60s and 70s. Comedys were numerous and the lights made everything sparkle like diamonds. This wasn't a simple project to do but the STRIPED design of the paper helped me create a layout with the strong contrasts of the red and yellow lights behind.
ELLE WILSON
ELLE: Life is FUNNY now… every time I venture out of the house to
go foraging (or rather food shopping)… the animals are outside looking in at us
and we are inside looking out! My painted STRIPES came in handy for a little
bit of pandemic journaling!
PRIYA: This is a FUNNY moment of my son, captured well. He loves mangoes, and he loved his mango fruit toy so much as a kid, he would carry it around always. He was just 7 months old here and didn't have any teeth. Still whenever he saw a mango, he tried to bite it. In this picture he is holding his mango toy. For STRIPES, I used two different striped papers, one in the background and one below the photo.
ANNA: I am not a big fan of stripes. I always prefer dots and circles, but... I have a friend who loves stripes and wears them a lot. :) We are completely different people in many, many ways, but there is at least one thing (ok! of course there are more!) in common for us... we can joke and laugh in almost every situation. We were laughing when our worlds were falling apart more than once or twice... we were laughing even when we were crying... we were laughing in the middle of the night in the ER... and we laugh every time we speak! :) When I think "FUNNY", when I think "STRIPES", she is the first person who comes to my mind! :)
ROSALIE: My FUNNY moments are pictures of my granddaughter Ameila dressed up in her work gear to go shoppng with her dad for hardware. She insists on wearing her 'work gear' just like dad. STRIPES are in the paper, mixed media and embellishments that reflect the stripes on Junior Tradie Hi Vis top.
