May's Calendar Complete

Lots (and lots) of pictures to show because it looks different when you tilt it in the light.

 To make the background I didn't draw all the flowers,  I used a (posh!) wallpaper sample page:

 Those lines (above) you see are all silver.  Which gave me the perfect background to make a batik effect:

I blended watercolour paints and pens and then splashed the page randomly with a plant sprayer.

Today I blended the colours more and for a 'lily pond' effect, I sprayed the whole background with gloss acrylic varnish.  I then positioned my paper flowers (from sale, Oxfam), and stuck them down.

To finish off, I added the numbers by hand on the paper flowers and coloured the chipboard title letters with matching soft pastels.
