Here is my inspiration for this brand new challenge.

I have played with the newly released Craftangles 'All year round- Calender stamp'.

Oh its  so much fun and has so many possiblities...I will share more in the days to come on social media so do keep a look out!

I will also share a tutorial soon.

To create this card, I checked the dates for the month of January on a calender and masked off the rest of the stamp, before applying ink to it.

I then removed the masks and stamped the dates. 

I then added the days of the week and the month. 

I wanted to highlight the 5th of the month so I stamped it on another piece of card stock with red ink and punched it out with a circle punch.

I then distressed the edges with Tim Holtz distress ink and adhered it the the calender using #D foam tape, in order to make it stand out.

I then stamped, coloured and added the aquarius image from Mama Elephant.

I layered the calender with red cardstock and and then adhered it to a beige card base.

I stamped a birthday sentiment and a die cut from Craftangles to finish the card

I also added some paint splatters to create some interest.

I hope this card has inspired you to play with this stamp and play along in our challenge.

Do read the rules carefully as given above.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day!
