Calendar Girl

Hello Friends and a huge welcome to my new followers.

Today I am sharing a project made with one of the newest stamps in the AALL & Create range (you can see the whole range HERE).

I was not sure at first how to showcase this beautiful stamp, I wanted to bring out all the elements in the stamp so I went for bold colours and then mounted it simply onto a 5" x 7" canvas base.
This is quite a large stamp and so I stamped it onto tissue paper and then painted it from the back
I didn't think the background was bold enough so I added more of the blue paint (Paper Artsy - Glass Blue Translucent Paint) and then decided that the dark background mat was too dark.
I kept adding paint until I was happy.
I placed the coloured (and dried)  tissue onto a white canvas base, this really showed up the beautiful blue colour.  I added a small amount of stencilling to the bottom left and top right to balance the project.
For the calendar element I used a purchased 2019 calendar and for my 2019, on the cover,  I traced the numbers from AALL & Create Stencil #30, cut them out, painted them and then triple embossed them before adding them to the calendar.


This beautiful stamp #141 is featured on Hochanda TV today (13 December) by Autour de Mwa from AALL & Create.  If you didn't catch the live shows you can always watch them on Rewind at www.Hochanda.com

I am pleased to have a calendar to add to my craft room wall.  If you would like to see the whole range of stamps and stencils by AALL & Create, they are HERE and you will find worldwide stockists.

As always, thanks so much for your visit, I really do appreciate it.

Hugs, Anne xx

  9. Oh Anne this is fabulous, it's not an easy task to paint onto tissue but you've mastered it magnificently. What a fabulous idea to turn it into a calendar. It's the first year in many that I have not acquired any of those little calendars.. it's a pre-school habit I can not seem to shift!!
    Thank you for sharing this super creation you've showcased those stamps with perfection and flair.
    Hugs for a happy weekend Tracey xx

  11. Lovely Anne, I am colouring her right now having just finished the big one with the map on. Mine is not as vivid as yours so I might have to tweak it as I love your bright colours.
    Hugs, Neet x
