May Calendar Journal

Hi everyone, you may have heard that this weekend is the Coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla.

My Calendar Journal page is meant to celebrate the event and I am joining in at Art Journal Journey where Aimeslee's theme is 'Flowers'

I used a flowery Tim Holtz stencil using blue and red ink to make the background. I stamped a lot of Tracy Scott Paper Artsy flowers onto white paper and coloured and fussy cut them.

The brightly coloured girl is a Tandy Art image and I tucked a Tracy flower in her hair. The butterfly was in my scrap bag. The Union Jack flags are stickers on some fruit I bought recently, we are getting some British produce in shops now. 

It may look as though I have cut up a Union Jack for my journal but I would never do that...I used some watercolour pencils and water brush to draw a pattern onto a piece of paper then punched out the squares then stuck them randomly onto the page

I have my weekend planned, including a family tea party, but mainly lots of TV watching which I will do with some colouring or cutting out on my lap. 

Oh, last month's calendar ended up like  this..

Another busy month and at the moment, apart from this weekend I can't see much of a slow down this month!

Thanks for looking, Chris
