June Calendar Challenge

Here is my June calendar page for the year long challenge over at The Katherine Wheel
I had completed last weekend but blogger has been playing me up so much I have avoided it all week! So sorry if I have not visited your blog!
I focused on Midsummer as my background for this page. I used Dylusion paints and sprays and made a sun stamp out of a potatoe to randomly stamp across the page. The words are from a poem I found on line, unfortunately no author was given.
I didn't cut out squares and stick them on this time as I didn't want to cover up the big sun in the centre. I drew each square on and then shaded around one edge to give each square a bit of depth.

Here is my completed May page if anyone wants to be nosey!
I am really enjoying this challenge and can't believe I have kept up with 6 whole months! Make sure you check out the other pages using the link above.
Thanks for looking,

Ok, I might be a little early with these as voting has not finished for challenge 4 yet but i wanted to put them up as you never know whose going next, this might be my only chance to show them. Make sure you pop over and place your votes for challenge 4 which is on the website until the end of March, the link is on the right.

This challenge was to use ribbon. We were sent a lovely selection from Doodlebug in hot pinks and lime greens, boutique ribbons, flocking and alphas. We also had to make an additional item this time. I have never really altered anything before so im not sure how my additional item will stand up against everyone elses, but i did my best!
