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.
