2016 Asian Marci Calendars

These calendars were a last minute idea.  They have been sent to Japan for special friends.  Do they look familiar? Asian Marci Tissue Box Holder  was previously posted on 3/11/2016 using these images.  Love all the Asian Marci images along with the great decorative paper combination.  Why re-invent what looks really great but make it into a useful and decorative calendar.  La-La Land Craft stamps and dies used can be found here.

Here is one of the calendars: overall length is 11-3/4 and 6" wide. The top portion of this project is made from chipboard measuring 4-3/4" x 5-1/2". The calendar portion also made from chipboard is 4-3/4" x 3-3/4". The edges of the cut chipboard are inked with a Krylon Gold Pen. Then covered with Bazzil Lipstick Pink textured Card stock. A mat using My Little Shoebox Cherry Delight - Serenade (retired).  The Jaded Blossom 4" Stitched Circle along with Couture Creations Asian Wave Embossing folder. The calendar is 3" x 2-1/4".
