New Year...New Beginning and New Challenge at Lulupu. I am super excited to announce the very first challenge for 2014!
Lulupu Challenge # 23 - Create a Calendar
{Qualification Guidelines here}
Challenge#23 General guidelines
1. Create any type of Calendar(2014) - it can be Desktop, Wall Calendar, Pocket Calendar or maybe something new you innovate!
2. You may use any technique/idea and we would love to see you work with pattern papers, stamps, inks, mists, markers, paints, die cuts, embellishments, washi tapes etc. Go crazy!
3. Since we are a little late in announcing the new challenge we will keep the Inlinkz open till January 20th, 2013 at 11:55 PM IST.
I've made this Mixed Media Accordion Calendar as inspiration for this fortnight.
I've used 6 thick Chipboard pieces as a base. Front view shows January to June. And I repeated the same designs on the backside for next six months.
Here are some close up views of each one..
I started with applying the Gesso. When it dried completely, I arranged and adhered various pattern papers. There after I used stamping, stencilling and ink sprays and on some I've also added beautiful lace. I enjoyed distressing the edges.
I hope you are inspired , I can't wait to see what you all will create! So take out your papers, glue, scissors, inks, stamps..and start the fun!
Happy Crafting!!
Lots of love,
Shilpa

Hi I am Shilpa from Bangalore. I am a stay at home mom for a gorgeous 12 yrs old daughter. I have been dabbling in art and craft ever since i have known. I was attracted towards Card making when I visited UK decade ago, and started making them for family and friends. Couple of years ago I got introduced to Mixed Media and Art Journal, and I am fascinated by it now. I love to try new styles, new techniques and new products. And making CAS Cards, scrapbook layouts and other mixed media projects is my passion.
I am very happy to be part of Lulupu Design Team now !!
