The best thing about blogging is that I got to know a lot of cool people. I met Arielle through The Pink Elephant Challenge blog. Last Saturday, she sent me her first digital stamp for me to try, and isn’t she so talented!

Last month, Sheila asked me for a full sheet (8.5×11) calendar where she can add her own art work. So I made this format, but was too lazy to post it. But, I thought Arielle’s Cottage digital stamp would look great on this full sheet Calendar add-on, so I was motivated to add this to Calendar 2011 template. Thanks Sheila and Arielle!

I’ve updated Calendar 2011 template with this Add-On and sent out the download link to all the people who purchased Calendar 2011. If you haven’t received the email from me and would like to get the Add-On, please let me know (littlepotatohouse at gmail dot com). Thanks!

Printed Cottage digital stamp and Calendar on a watercolor paper. I drew over the image and the box with Sakura Glaze clear pen just in case the ink bleeds.

Colored with Tombow Dual-Brush markers. Added Flower Soft – Sage (Ultra Fine).

Added some pearl stickers on the big mushroom.

There’s still time left AmberINK’s INKredible 21 Day Challenge: TRICK OR TREATY AMBERINKY!

I created this egg shaped card for the Greeting Farm‘s “Don’t be a Square” challenge. Easter Anya is a digital stamp, and even with the heat setting, I was having a hard time trying to dry the printer ink. I wanted to use the ordorless mineral spirits to blend the colored pencils, but didn’t want to risk of ink smudging everywhere.
