Calendar Project - August 2017

Hi Everyone

August is here, our last month of Winter and normally in Brisbane full of Ekka winds, although our weather of late has been perfect.

The first of the month is also our opportunity to show off our calendar page and here is our August page.

Using Art Impressions - Latte Love Set, I've created a Coffee Lovers page.

Starting with a base of Bazzill Dotted Swiss - Rope Swing, I added Mocha Divine and Mud Puddle.

On the Mud Puddle paper, I stamped the words Mocha, Java and Latte using Tim Holtz Worn Text stamp set (CMS156) using an Archival Coffee (how fitting, LOL) stamp pad.

The ladies from Latte Love were stamped on Colour Copy (200gsm) paper and coloured with Copic Markers E00, E11, E40, E41, E43, E47, E31, E35, E37, Y21, YR24, YG61, YG63, YG67, R83, R56, R39, V22, V25 and V28.  I halo cut the ladies and added them to the page.

The words are also from the Latte Love stamp set, making it perfect for anyone who loves coffee.

Hoping you have a wonderful August.
Happy Stamping

Calendar Project: June 2017

Hi Everyone

Happy 1st June!!  I can't believe winter has arrived - bring back the warmer weather.

With the Scrapbook and Papercraft Expo nearly a week away, I thought this was a great opportunity to use my Art Impressions - Crafty Girls Set (4890).

This calendar page starts with a base of Bazzill Typhoon and layered up with Petunia and Colour Copy 200gsm paper.

The word 'June' is from Scrapmatts which I coloured with Chipped Sapphire Distress Paint.

Around the background of the Colour Copy paper, I blended a little Antique Linen Distress Paint and then stamped the ladies using a Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad.

Now it's time to colour and of course I used my Copic Markers - E00, E11, R20, R81, R83, R85, RV69, B93, B95, B97, B99, E31, E35, E37, E40, E43, E47, E49, Y21, YR12, V22, V25 and V28.

Lastly I stamped around the background with the Darkroom Door Flourish Texture Stamp using the Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink Pad, filling in the background.

This stamp set has 3 different words to go with it, but I found it cluttered the calendar page when I used them - next time....

Hoping you have a wonderful June.
Happy Stamping
