February Inky Calendar Page

 I let the background do most of the talking for my February inky Clarity calendar page as I had a really cool copy paper inky mop up sheet that I found.

I started by adding the mop up sheet to the 6.5" x 6.5" piece of stencil card that came with the calendar blank using matte medium.  It was smoothed with a baren and trimmed to fit.
Next, I added one of the round Art Deco Frames in Russet Archival ink.
I added colour using a Faber-Castell Polychromo (#188 - Summer).
The sailing boat from the Wee Planes & Boats stamp set was added into the frame in the same ink as before.
I found one of the I Am Essential words stickers that I thought went well with the stamping, edged it with a brown Sharpie pen and stuck it to the topper.
To finish, it just needed adding to the February page of my Clarity Calendar for 2026. I did debate adding a border in the same pen as the topper, but decided against it.
