Mixed Media Collage calendar - January

First Blog post!

Here it is...my first blog post. Kind of scary and exciting at the same time. I wanted to share my newest project with everyone. It's a mixed media calendar. 

Here is the first month; January:

I used blue pattern papers from my stash for the background. On top of that I glued some self made paper snowflakes and stenciled a diamond pattern on. a Coat of whitewash and some light use of Sailboat Blue Color Wash. 

The chipboard snowflakes are from the Basic Grey holiday chipboard set. I coated them with gesso and stamped them with a script stamp. I etched them with black charcoal and rubbed it a bit around the flakes.

I finished the page with Glacier, Bubbles and Waterslide Glimmer Mist to add the nice shimmer, glued some baby blue chipboard letters with January into the lower right corner and voila! January is finished.

See you all in a bit with another month.
