Delight in the simple beauty....

Hi Fellow Crafters;

It is Wednesday again, and it is my turn to post for OCS.  I tried a different technique this time, which I haven't used for years.  I embossed the Birds & Blooms Collage Stamp from Heartfelt Creations with white embossing powder, which was then inked with Wild Honey and Dried Marigold Distress Inks.  The Bird and Butterflies are both from the Heartfelt Creations Birds and Blooms Collection.  The co-ordinating dies were used to cut the bird, flowers and butterflies.

Supplies used:

• Stamps:  Birds &Blooms Collage, Birds & Blooms, Butterfly Medley (Heartfelt Creations)
• Dies:  Birds & Blooms, Butterfly Medley (Heartfelt Creations)
• Ink: Versa Mark, Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black, Wild Honey and Dried Marigold Distress Inks
• Embossing Powder:  White
• Paper: X-Press It Blending Cardstock, DP - Butterfly Medley Collection (Heartfelt Creations)
• Copic Markers:  Bird:  B95 -Light Grayish Cobalt, B93 - Light Cockery Blue, B91 - Pale Grayish Blue, E09 - Burnt Siena, E97 - Deep Orange; Leaves:  YG11 - Mignonette, YG17 - Grass Green, YG13 - Chartreuse; Butterflies: YR04 - Chrome Orange, YR02 - Light Orange, Y38 - Honey, YR01 - Peach Puff; BG13 - Mint Green, BG11 - Moon white, BV11 - Soft Violet, BV13 - Hydrangea Blue
• Embellishments:  Double Dot Jewels - Citrus
• Zig Wink of Stella:  Clear

There is plenty of time for you to enter this month's challenge, which is "Anything Goes" for a change to win 2 High Hopes Stamps.  Check out Lora's OCS store for any supplies that you might need.

This is all for now and I will see you again next week.

Hi Fellow Crafters;

Wednesday is here again, which means hump day as well as this month is almost over.  Where oh where is the time going.  Besides having a new challenge on Monday as it is June 1st, school is almost out for the summer and a big move for my work which is an academic library will be over by mid June.  Yeah! Can't wait for that to happen, moving houses is definitely a lot easier.  As my camera is having issues (the auto focus isn't working properly), a thank you goes to my daughter-in-law Amanda for taking this photo with her iPhone

For my post today, I have used the Birds & Blooms, Leafy Branches stamps and co-ordinating dies both from Heartfelt Creations.  I used this specific piece of design paper for the wording on it.  It is the Butterfly Medley Collection also from Heartfelt Creations.  I added the small double dot jewels to the centers of the flowers.

Supplies used:

• Stamps:  Birds & Blooms, Leafy Branch (Heartfelt Creations)
• Dies:  Birds & Blooms, Leafy Branch (Heartfelt Creations); Butterflies (Impression Obsession)
• Ink:  Staz-On Jet Black
