August Art Journal Calendar

 Hello All.

I have my August calendar spread to share with you today.


I began by covering my pages with torn collage papers, which were then covered with a layer of teabag papers. I did some stencilling with black acrylic, then stamped a PaperArtsy alphabet and numbers border.


I cut 31 journaling squares from a monoprint I made recently, glued them in place, then outlined them with a white Sharpie pen. I stamped the title with another PaperArtsy alphabet set, added some white pen highlights, and finished with white pen splatters.


I'm linking my spread to Neet's Type theme at Art Journal Journey.

Before I go, here's my July spread with its summer flowers all filled in with not very exciting things, apart from a lovely visit to RHS Wisley with a friend last week, and a trip to the seaside to see my SIL and family at the weekend.


Thanks for visiting,

Alison

  4. I love those brightly colored daily squares against the neutral background. I like all the stamping and the white paint splatters. It will be fun to write in those pretty squares everyday.

  6. You definitely put my calendar to shame. This is out of this world colorful and so well done. Even the background with the teabags and collaged papers was spectacular. You have outdone yourself, Alison. This is so clever. It was good to see you have your July calendar pages filled out nicely, too.
