CALENDAR SWAP

I've been involved in a calendar swap this year through Blue Bazaar and of course have left it to the last minute to finish off the pages.
Here are some of them, I only have 7 left to do and ATC's for all of them and a cover all by the end of the month, EASY!!!!
Theme: "Critters".
I had a vintage children's book just waiting to be torn apart, I also added scrunched up papers, glimmermist and a bird stamp.

Theme: "Favourite Australian Place".
I made a torn collaged background with antiquing medium over the top to blend. The photo is sanded and alpha stamps stamped on.

Theme: "Favourite Holiday Destination".
Same method as above.

Theme: "Mythical Creatures".
Torn handmade paper was used for the background. The picture is a packing tape transfer. I then made a velvet embellishment by stamping with paint then heat setting it onto the velvet.

Theme: "Altered Postcards".
I Painted the background with a stencil, stamps and rub-ons were then added. I have painted on the postcard to alter it and added rub-ons.
