For March I've used this Penny Black stamp that I got a year ago or so - coloured with watercolour pencils and some blue and purple clouds chalked in the background. I'm getting a bit better at writing my dates in a straight-ish line ;)- Less is More #292 - peacock colours
- Stamp Ink Paper #63 - wonderful wings
- Retro Rubber challenge #46 - critter time
- Penny Black Saturday September - nature
April uses one of my Tim Holtz doggies, and this lovely flower stamp from Eat Cake Graphics:
Coloured with watercolour pencils and the flower petals covered with my clear glitter pen so it's lovely and sparkly. Clear gloss added to the dog's nose and eyes, and to the flower centres.
- Simon Says Stamp Monday - it's a stitch up
- ABC - O is for Open
- Crafty Creations #323 - use a number
- Penny's challenge #293 - anything goes
- Creative Kockouts #157 - sparkle and shine

What a great idea to do a calendar as a gift, loving the months so far. Cara x
ReplyDeleteOh, wow! Lucky friend!I love both pages but the cat card really grabbed my attention. I know that's a Penny Black image but it reminds me of Ronald Searle's comical cats of the eighties. Great work yet again, Jo x
