Happy Little Stampers Mixed Media July Challenge


Our winner for this challenge will receive a $20 coupon to spend at the shop! Check out all the details HERE.

IF YOU USE STAMPS BY HAPPY LITTLE STAMPERS AND YOU ARE OUR RANDOM WINNER, YOUR PRIZE WILL BE DOUBLED!


I have added a month to my Mixed Media Calendar.
I have been making this for a several years now...
The base is a piece of plywood 'burned' with electricity
 as detailed here in my blog in November 2015.
I painted around the edge with black gesso.

I added square cards using rings at the top.
These cards will flip over for successive months.
I added a calendar pad at the bottom.

 For this July my card has a circle of newspaper pieces.
I was inspired by some artwork by Jiri Kolar that I saw in the Prague National Gallery, which I visited a fortnight ago when I was on holiday in Prague.

I arranged circles of circular pieces cut from a newspaper and then covered them with a border of yellow card which had had a circle die cut from it.

On this circle I placed a rectangle of purple - on this I added an oval of yellow from which I had cut July - a Tim Holtz die.

Finally I added the man with umbrella (Tim Holtz die) and the sun - an unbranded die.

 Hope you will join the challenge!!

 Happy Crafting!

    We've been needing the umbrella - so
    terribly hot the past few weeks.
    Having a break for a couple days and
    then the heat returns. Great
    page for your calendar.
    thanks for sharing.
