June Calendar all ready to use


painting the pages
day boxes and stippling added



all ready to use !

I painted the pages with watercolours in blue, pink and yellow, then drew the boxes for the days doodle-style, stippled swirls using a Creative Expressions mask and Distress Inks.  Then I stamped swirls using the Craft Stamper magazine free stamp for June, which is a lovely round swirl.

May 2012 Calendar

So here is the May calendar.  I painted a light watercolour wash over the pages, then stippled distress inks through masks, drew the daily boxes, painted round them darker, and stamped using the lovely Craft Stamper Magazine free flower stamp for May, and coloured the flowers with darker DIs.  I like this stamp a lot.  The black ink looks very dark in the picture, but good in real life, where you can see the watercolours better.  I also like the effect I get using the masks.  I've kept my colour scheme flowing - April was green, yellow and brown and May is yellow, green and pink.

April Calendar

I didn't get my April calendar done on time, so did not post a copy of it unwritten.  But here it is all filled in.  I'm not too keen on the look of these pages, except for the colours, but never mind.
