I’m up to March in my Stampin’ Up! Perpetual birthday calendar – I still haven’t worked on my calligraphy though, I must get to that or just scrawl the names in in my normal handwriting. I followed the suggestions by Stampin’ Up! a little for this month’s page – here’s a close up of the top.

I used pumpkin pie and hello honey as suggested but changed the banner. I didn’t want all the banners to be either glimmer paper or background DSP. This one is from the Moonlight stack and is in hello honey. I first sponged some hello honey in the middle of the paper before stamping the March images in pumpkin pie, stamping a second time without re-inking on some of the images. March is also stamped in pumpkin pie. Rather than using the M in white as suggested, I tapped it onto the pumpkin pie ink pad first. I like how the M really pops now.

I did the same sponging and stamping at the bottom corner of the paper as on previous months.
