pink and butterflies
I am currently in the process of reorganizing my clear stamps. Because the system with a ringband and laminated sheets of paper on to which the stamps cling to isn't working for me, due to the fact that the stamps don't always cling anymore so they fall out of the folder. That's the reason why I didn't continue organizing this way and just put my stamps in a drawer, disasterious.
Now I'm going to try using CD cases instead. I am also making a catalogue of my stamps, so it is easy to browse and see what I have. After stamping I used a piece of paper to clean of my stamps, it is this scrap paper I used as basis for my calendar page for August.
As the 2 prompts from the Craft Barn are pink and butterflies, I sprayed the page with a pink Dylusions ink spray (I need to restock as I'm running low)
Next I added some fern stencilling and completed it with some beautiful butterflies.
yes, I managed to finish this month way in time.
Brilliant use of waste paper, a lady after my own heart. Love it .

Thx Angela, love to recycle.
DeleteFabulous make, Vicki - I particularly like the push pull of the pink through the fern stenciling. And those butterflies are just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteYhx Winn, Funny you like the pull through of the pink, I wanted the green to be more opaque :-)

DeleteI know the problem with stamp storage, I've yet to come up with something I'm completely happy with. Great vivid colours for your page, and love all the different butterflies.
ReplyDeleteThe CD cases seem to be working for me for now.
DeleteLovely page, great idea for your background. I have never got to grips with a proper storage system for my stamps, they are all over the place! xx
ReplyDeletemaybe it is just the nature of a creative mind versus an organized mind :-)
