Herbert Hare in Pencils

 Morning-now this stepper card almost landed in the bin twice! I just was not happy with it but figured it was finished so post it! I was a lot happier with the first coloured image then ruined it by stamping leaves round the edges and the image was lost-then I added the die-cut leaves(craft mag freebie, years ago)and not totally happy with that either BUT here it is. Herbert Hare wooden stamp from Stampotique  (had that years too) coloured with (Helens) Faber Castell Polychromos -now don't judge me I am rubbish with pencils-no idea why I tried-should have got to Helen to colour it for me, glossy accents on eyes and papers from Crafters Companion.



Please note if any challenges have digi images for prizes I am just playing for fun and support as I don't have a printer

Looks good to me Carol, but know what you mean, we are our own worse critics. There's a lovely fresh Spring feel to it, many thanks for sharing with us at Allsorts challenge.

Wow, Herbert Hare is such a cool guy! I love that rabbit. And I really like your choice of colors. The fresh, cheerful green reminds me of a beautiful, carefree day. Simply fabulous! A fantastic card and a truly great design.
But I understand what you mean. We're all so self-critical. But that's just how it is. We're all artists in our own way and should be satisfied with our work. I feel the same way.
But I really like your card. It looks great. And the format with the steppers is a super way to showcase Mr. Hare.
Thank you so much for submitting it to the Everybody Art Challenge. Thanks for participating!
Hugs, Uschi

The fresh green palette gives Herbert such a lively, spring‑bright personality, and the stepper fold really lets him take center stage. The pencil work adds a soft, textured look that suits his quirky expression, and the layered papers and die‑cut leaves pull everything together with a fun sense of movement. A wonderfully characterful make that stands out beautifully in this fold.
