Watercolor a Memory Box and Open Studio Calendar by Jean Okimoto

Gather your favorite Memory Box and Open Studio dies and stamps, Peerless Watercolors and Imagine Crafts Inkpads and create a colorful calendar to welcome 2016! Jean Okimoto here this holiday weekend with a trio of calendar pages for you. The little calendars are from Impress.

Cut watercolor paper with the approximately 3-¾" x 4-¾" Open Studio Pinpoint Rectangle Layers die. Paint the background with Peerless Watercolors. Cut Chandra Stem from silver glitter craft foam, turquoise vellum and gold mirror cardstock. Attach gold, silver and turquoise sequins.

Paint the background with Peerless Watercolors, then cut it with the approximately 3" x 4" Pinpoint Rectangle Layers die. Cut the Open Studio Stitched Heart Layers from white vellum and iridescent vellum. Attach silver and clear sequins.

Stamp Delicate Flight with VersaFine Onyx Black and emboss it with detail clear powder. Paint it with Peerless Watercolors. Daub the background with Brilliance Pearlescent Lime. Attach adhesive label paper to white felt and diecut Springtime Bunnies. The adhesive paper stabilizes the felt and prevents liquid adhesives from soaking through the felt. Attach clear and pearlescent lavender sequins.

Combine these great dies, stamps and beautiful colors and create a calendar to brighten each day of the New Year. Display them on a bulletin board, set them on an easel - or showcase them like little works of art on card holders from Birch Press Design.
