Hi Everyone!
I'm here today with my February calendar spread.
I recently discovered stamping with watercolour paint, and I used this technique for my background, over collaged and gessoed music and book paper, with some Dina Wakley heart stamps, Reeves watercolour tube paint in phthalo blue, and some metallic gold pearl watercolour paint from Imagination Crafts. I added a splattering of the paints too :-)
For my journaling, I stamped another of Dina's hearts 28 times onto gesso music paper with black archival ink, cut them out, inked the edges, and glued them to my pages. I used the phthalo blue watercolour paint to colour in the Valentine's Day heart, to make it stand out.
I used Darkroom Door alphabet and number stamps for my title.
I'm linking up to Valerie's Heavy Metal theme at Art Journal Journey, and also Try It On Tuesday's Falling In Love theme.
And finally, here's my January calendar all filled in...
Wishing you all a happy and healthy new month.
Thanks for visiting!

ReplyDeleteYou always do a grand job with your Calendar pages, I was glad to seen the end of January it was a hard month for me. I love your watercolour stamped Feb calendar with the pop of metallic against each heart. I've been cleaning out palettes and filling with fresh paint this weekend during my clean up.. another job out the way. Yay!! xx
ReplyDeleteFabulous pages Ali. What a lovely idea for February. Hugs Flo xx
ReplyDeleteLet's hope as you do each month of calendar pages the news you write on them improves (thinking virus here).
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of using watercolour to stamp with but cannot seeing me being anywhere near as successful as you. Lovely hearts and i do like phthalo blue.
Hugs, Neet xx
It's been quite a week so I apologise for only just arriving here now! I love thees colours and the Dina hearts really are fabulous here, Hugs, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteI thought I would start with the first of the month, and hopefully catch up from there. Your blue and gold hearts are incredible, dear. As I've said before, your calendar pages put mine to shame. Thanks for sharing these with us at Art Journal Journey, too.
