Here is a project I have made as part of the Sweet Pea Stamps Design Team.
I have used one of the stunning images by Norma J Burnell called "Firefly Friends Owl". It is available as a digital stamp and a single rubber stamp. I have coloured the digital stamp in with Promarkers/Flexmarkers, highlighted areas with my Sakura Stardust clear pen and inked around the edge with Tim Holtz's Tumbled Glass and Chipped Sapphire distress inks.
The backing papers are from my beloved Tim Holtz paper pad which my son bought me two years ago. I have mounted the image on a Marianne Designs die-cut which I have inked with Tim Holtz's Chipped Sapphire distress ink. I have finished the calendar off with some raffia ribbon, satin ribbon, washi tape, calendar tab and some decorative pearls.
I am entering this calendar into the following challenges:

One Stitch at a Time - Use a digi
