All Through the Year was used on the February calendar page as well as January’s. This time I added the heart from A to Z Accents. Both hearts have the shabby chic look and coordinated so beautifully.
The heart from All Through the Year is first inked up in Purely Pomegranate Classic Ink, stamped off once, and then stamped on the calendar page. The heart from A to Z Accents was stamped in full strength Purely Pomegranate (one of the fabulous In Colors). The stamping off technique allows me to have different shades of the same color.
I then used the Stipple Brush with Purely Pomegranate Classic Ink to fill in the white area. I love the Stipple Brushes for a softer sponged look. I probably would have been too heavy handed with the dark Purely Pomegranate and not achieved the soft color.
