Let's start the beginning of the year with making a calendar for yourself. Our creative bundle featured a lot of speckled papers and I think it would look great on them!
When I first started drawing I would follow the tutorials on YouTube from the amazing Shayda Campbell. I absolutely LOVE her style and I think I followed every tutorial she even posted. The flowers she draws on the calendars are amazing. This is my favorite video of how to draw some simple flowers, and just a little tip. Try this on regular paper first, when you are satisfied try it on the handmade paper for real!
Okay, so now you have a few flowers in your assortiment, it's time to make a weekly calendar. In this video Shayda uses a bullet journal book. But obviously it is also possible to do this on a single sheet of paper and display it on your desk like this, you can buy these little holders at Casa, Action, Xenos of online at Etsy:
Again, if you are not confident yet, try on some scrap paper first before you use the handmade paper.
I really hope you enjoyed this tutorial. At the end of February I will ship the creative bundle for next month. And I will post a self made tutorial about how to use gold leaf on handmade paper.
The floral doodles are so fun to draw on the handmade paper! Snowdrop for January and Rose for February (due to Valentine's). 😁
Here is my own little flower doodle!
