Time to Relax - calendar tag with watercolour paper piecing


A Chill bear just chillin' is the perfect accompaniment to a small calendar 'cause it's Time to Relax.

This tag features a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp set with Distress ink watercolouring and paper piecing on felt.


Putting It Together

A couple months ago I had the idea to make tag calendars, a small calendar that can hang up in a confined space but still pack a punch with a bit of fun. This is the third of the calendars I've made. I intended to make a bunch and give them to relatives and such, but.. well.. I still have time, right?


I stamped the image on both watercolour cardstock and light blue felt.


I used Distress ink to paint up just the bear on the paper and add some shadowing for the pillow on the felt.


I fussy cut both, leaving the bear image on pillow as a base for the paper bear.


I used glue pen adhesive to adhere the bear to the pillow.


I added the bear and pillow to a tag with plaid paper, a tear off small calendar and sentiment. I thought the sentiment quite apt.

    Wow, Rijacki, what a gorgeous little calendar! Love the colours! That brown plaid background is the perfect masculine touch and, of course, shows off your lazy little bear beautifully. Can't blame him for lying down, of course, because that die-cut pillow looks so comfortable. Great work colouring and designing this calendar. Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
