I tried out a mono-printing technique by Dan Tirels for my background. Here's Dan's YouTube channel. He has some great video tutorials.
Art Journal Journey has a new challenge theme of 'Green' from Eileen The Artful Crafter, so I used a few different green PaperArtsy acrylic paints for my mono-printed background. I hand-cut a stencil for my journaling flowers, although they look more like clouds! I used Honeydew acrylic, which is a very pale green. After stencilling my title and adding the numbers, I decided to add some contrasting orange splatters with a Posca paint pen.
And finally, here's my filled in February calendar...
Wishing you all a creative week,

ReplyDeleteperfect for March-
ReplyDeleteI saw fluffy clouds first, but changed my mind as I saw the green meadow background rather than blue sky! Have a wonderful March.

Your calendar page is great, I will have to give this a go, I've always wondered what I would write but I guess if it's only a small space I could do it.
ReplyDeleteI love the February Pages, love all the hearts, it's very inspiring
