Darcy's Calendar Challenge

Got round to my January page at long last.  I've learnt 2 things during this challenge - my small calendar doesn't in fact make the transformation easier (harder in fact as it's more fiddly) and I'm a messy worker who had paint on January to April so I had to tear out my page !

Darcy's challenge see here for details was to use crackling and book text - I've decided to use both on the border of the page.  I painted on an orange base coat and French roast  FF over the crackle glaze.  I then washed the book text with Chutney FF and cut out 1cm edging strips and punch a stack of little flowers to frame the main picture.

thank you for looking xx

    I have been adding a think layer of matte gel to each page to prime it.. and I soon found 6 months were all glued together lol

    Fab crackling and borders, that circlet of little text flowers is just so lovely.
