I am so glad that Clarity have brought out their own calendar blanks for next year, I spent ages trying to find one for this year. For my October page I used one of the backgrounds that were created at the summer retreats as a starting point.
Trim one of the backgrounds to 6" x 6".
Add the kissing couple in Jet Black Archival ink.
Add the cherry blossom from the same stamp set likewise.
Add the fence from the Birdhouse Garden stamp set in the same ink.
Add a couple of the Wee Foliage stamps along the bottom in Olive Archival ink.
Add further stamping using the miniature versions of the same stamps from the Family and Whimsical Miniatures sets in the same ink.
Mask off the background using low tack tape and brush a little Tenacious Teal Artistry ink around the boat.
Colour the cherry blossom in gold ochre and the leaves in olive green.
To finish, edge to topper with a black Sharpie pen and add it to the October page of the Funky Fossil 2025 calendar blank.

WOW. My October was a tiny bit scary. I love your idea. Have got my Clarity calendar for next year and your 'pages' are all going to be re-visited next year as inspiration! Will soon be doing Novembr, which is my birthday month, so I am doing a birthday card to me, from me. What would be your birthday card choice just for yourself?
Love, Maggie (York UK)
