Hello! I hope you are having a great week! We've been busy with camp this week, but I had time to get my calendar page done for next month! I started with this sketch from Stick it Down:
This was another sketch that was a little outside my normal style, but I had fun playing with inks, stamps and banners! I started by splattering pink and turquoise inks on my background. I glued down some twine for my banners. I then stamped and fussy cut and punched the banner pieces from several pieces of patterned paper. The majority of the paper used on this layout was from a 6x6 pad, which worked out perfectly. To attach the banners, I used a combination of regular adhesive and foam adhesive to add dimension. I used my Cricut to cut the word "August" and stamped "awesome." For the journaling, I printed on white cardstock and then went over all of it with Twisted Citron Distress Stain. I love the variation in color that gave to the background! I finished the page off by embellishing with some fussy cut circles, button and chipboard and a few stamped stars.
I was also inspired by the Pinspire me challenge at Paper Issues. This was the inspiration board:
I love the colors and I also even brought in the watermelon!
