November
Hello everyone
With only a few days to go until the end of the month, I have finally got around to doing my calendar page for The Craft Barn's calendar challenge.
The words for this month are Grey and Owl and if you have been following my calendar progress you will know that I have been determined to use my Gelatos each month, so having grey as the colour posed me a bit of a conundrum.
After much mixing and testing, I couldn't come up with a suitable colour that would also show up on my black paper so I gave in and bought the metallic gelato set, which includes silver. I hope that's not considered cheating; I honestly think it looks like grey on the black paper.
I added a smudge of light colour in the sky for a moon and wispy clouds.
I am looking forward to finding out what our December words are; but can hardly believe we have reached the end of the year so quickly!!
Many thanks for visiting, and until next time
Take Care
Be Happy

What a great excuse for getting some new goodies. Your little owl page looks very atmospheric. Looking forward to seeing your page for December.
ReplyDeleteSilver is shiny grey! Nice page Mo! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI agree with Valerie. Silver is truly shiny grey. I adore your owl. The layout is perfect with the moon and stars shining behind the owl sitting perfectly on that branch. It's a gorgeous piece of great art! I also like the randomness of the caps and lower case letters, too.
ReplyDeleteI think your scene is beautiful and serene!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great to find a reason to buy something new! Love your owl - his eyes follow you!
ReplyDeleteSilver is just metallic grey so it looks fine to me - great owl!
ReplyDeleteWell you bought something and used it straight away so at least it's not languishing unused in a drawer. Your owl looks great.
ReplyDeleteIt looks perfectly grey to me too Mo, well done on thinking of using the silver, it looks amazing and I just love the owl - a fantastic calendar page! Hugs, Anne xx
ReplyDeleteI won't complain... I will call it metallic grey! Love your owl, he's got a funny look about him.
ReplyDeleteAny excuse to get some new stuff is good. i love the whimsical clouds. Vicky
