I'm back to help reveal another new set for Sweet Stamp Shop today, Calendar. This set is perfect for scrapbookers and particularly Project Lifers, but today I want to show you a way you can really stretch this set.
When I was looking at the calendar image, the center portion leapt out at me as a really fun, modern, geometric pattern.
I embossed the image in silver and then cut out the center portion and added color with my Spectrum Noir markers.
Since the colored image is so bold, you don't really need too much else. I added a dark mat, a sentiment from Sweet Stamp Shop's Sentimental Birds set, and some hand drawn lines (using a ruler).
I love this design because you can customize it for pretty much any occasion or color scheme. You could also really simplify the process, and mass produce these by embossing on colored paper.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Be sure to head over to the Sweet Stamp Shop blog to check out some more amazing projects and find out how to win some sweet! I'll have some more Sweet Stamp Shop projects to share with you later this month.
