Instructions:

I got the idea here but decided to change it up a bit.  For my take on this I used one piece of white card stock that measures 12″ x 5″ scored at the 1/2″, 7 1/2″, 9 1/2″ and 11 1/2″ marks and a second piece that measures 5″ x 7″.  Attach the two 5″ x 1/2″ flaps to the ends of the smaller piece and you will have a 5″ x 7″ desktop calendar!  Once you have the base of the calendar created cover with a piece of paper from the Camelia Carnation Paper Collection layered over another piece of card stock for a punch of color, each layer is cut 1/4″ smaller then the previous layer.  I added die cuts from the Decorative Medallion and Delicate Border Basics Dies under the layers for a bit of a fancier look!  The fanciful Carnation image was stamped on white card stock using Olympia Green and die cut with the matching die before coloring with Metallic Creme Chalks.  The Carnation flowers were stamped on white card stock using Versamark and heat embossed with Tea Rose embossing powder and die cut with the matching dies before coloring with Metallic Creme Chalks and shaping with the 3D Floral Basics Shaping Mold and the flower shaping tools.  The sentiment was stamped on white card stock using Lady Bug ink and die cutting with the Eyelet Hearts Die before distressing around the edges with Metallic Creme Chalks.  The finishing touch was to lightly spray with Glimmer Mist Gold and enjoy.

Have a wonderful day!
