I used a combination of Brushos and Inktense blocks to provide a watery base for my random(ish) stamping. I turned the page upside down and let the drips run to provide stems for my Wendy Vecchi leaf stamps - rediscovered while having a tidying session! I used the flower from another WV set along with a Dina Wakley stamp.I doodled some white circles around too! I used a Woodware flower silhouette stamp on my journaling squares and added white dots with a pen to them to carry on the dotty theme!
Thank you all for your good wishes for my surgery tomorrow - I have a scheduled TIOT post tomorrow and one more that I may or may not use…depends on how long it will be till hubby allows me to sit here again!
I will catch up with comments using my phone whenever I can!
I am hoping my February page fits into the challenge at Country View Challenges - Make your Own Background
Thanks for looking, Chris
Love those beautiful jewel colours for February - but I'm still mesmerised by the January trees!
ReplyDeleteWill be thinking of you tomorrow - and of course you shall have the tag!

ReplyDeleteboth months look fabulous... good luck tomorrow, I am sure it'll be fine, and hope you're home and up and about very soon.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Alison, the trees are mesmerising and your February pages make me feel Spring is around the corner or at least I hope. Hope all goes well for you tomorrow.

First, I want you to know I'll be thinking about you tomorrow as you head to surgery. I'll be pacing the floor until I hear news, hopefully good.
ReplyDeleteSecond, YOU are the one who puts my calendar pages to SHAME. I love both your January and February pages. The trees in the the Jan. entry are stunning, but those flowers are absolutely adorable. You obviously "get it" when it comes to creating your pages, because they are fantastic. I think mine must be because of the size of my calendar. It's too big to split the page in half and too small to do much decorating on the page. Not so with yours, which never ceases to amaze me.
Your calendars are beautiful. January looks so much like winter and I love the delicate textures and those trees! And I love the deeper colors of February! You use your stamps very well to create a great cohesive page.
ReplyDeleteHi Chris, your calendar pages are beautiful. Thinking of you my friend.. I'll be in touch soon. xxx
ReplyDeleteBoth are fabulous pages Chris, you are so good keeping them up to date. Love the colours and and striking contrast of the black flowers and yes I am sure this fits the CVC backgrounds challenge. Thanks for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteI hope all goes well today, sending you positive thoughts.

I've been thinking about your surgery outcome, and by the looks of your visits on my blog you are recuperating nicely, but I will have to red on to find out the details. I've really enjoyed your January calendar, and February looks fabulous in blue! It's evident I have a lot of catching up to do with you! You create faster than I can type! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteTwo fabulous journal pages, especially love the trees on the January one. I hope you are recovery well after your surgery.
