Afterwards, I punched the month out with the Classic Label punch, and then fed the ends back through the same punch to shorten and label and create the “V”s on the ends.Įverything is mounted on a sheet of Tranquil Textures Designer Series Paper trimmed down to 4″ x 6”. I was actually able to place all the stamps on one block and stamp them all together with Blueberry Bushel ink on Sahara Sand Cardstock. To create the month, I stamped the letters with the Make A Difference stamp set. My sand dollar also has a very light watercolor wash of Balmy Blue. For the smaller coral die, I cut it out first from Shimmery White Cardstock, and then watercolored it with the same two colors. I tried to keep the wash fairly light so the images didn’t blur too much.Īfter the watercolor wash dried, I stamped the seaweed with Balmy Blue and Blueberry Bushel ink and the smaller coral with Calypso Coral ink.įor the larger coral die cut, I inked up the stamp with Petal Pink ink, then used a Sponge Dauber to add Calypso Coral ink directly to the stamp on the bottom section before stamping on Shimmery White Cardstock. Then, I painted a wash over the sand area with Petal Pink ink. Afterwards, I painted a wash over the water area with an Aqua Painter using Balmy Blue and Blueberry Bushel ink. So, I ended up stamping the mermaid with Balmy Blue ink, and the sand and net with Sahara Sand ink. I ended up really liking the results, because the watercoloring blurred the images and it looked like the items were under water, which is exactly what I wanted. I stamped several images first and then painted a watercolor wash over them. I was just fooling around, and ended up doing things a little out of order. I wanted to practice in order to get a good idea of placement before stamping on the actual calendars. It’s like she’s in the distance and you can barely see her.īefore I started stamping, I was playing around on a scrap piece of Shimmery White Cardstock. (You can purchase these two products in a bundle for 10% off!) But I also added the mermaid silhouette from the Magical Mermaid stamp set. Most of the products on this calendar page are from the Sea of Textures stamp set and coordinating Under the Sea Framelits Dies. I mixed up a few stamp sets to create a mystical underwater scene. The calendars measure 6″ x 4″ and fit in a standard frame.įor the July 2019 calendar page, I tried to do something different. That way, by the end of this year, I have several sets to give away as Christmas gifts. If you’re new to my blog, my goal is to design one of these calendar pages each month for the following year. The best thing about a holiday in the middle of the week (4th of July) is that I get an extra craft day!!! I thought I’d put it to good use and go ahead and design my July 2019 desktop calendar early in the month.
