Today I'm sharing my desk calendar page for May. I picked a cute little hedgehog stamp from the 'Wonderful Day' set by Penny Black, and stamped him onto a snippet of watercolour paper. I coloured him using watercolour pencils, then carefully cut him out. I used snippets of papers for the simple background...the cloudy sky paper is from a magazine freebie pad called 'Let's Fly Away', and the green paper (that already had its edge cut into a curve using one of my Lawn Fawn 'Stitched Hillside Borders' dies) is from the 'Bright Freshness' pad by Craft Sensations. I distressed the edges a little, and matted it onto a snippet of kraft card before adding it to the calendar.

ReplyDeleteHow adorable Helen! PB Hedgies are always so very cute and I love how you compiled this calendar image panel. Ha, I remmeber being super excited at the 'come fly with me papers' they were a lovely gift! And very different for the time. You must have been in your pram when you got that magazine and freebie.
