Specimen Butterflies


Catching up with life and decided to enter a few challenges.  Oak House Studio's theme for the month is RAINBOWS and the Craft Barn's is BUTTERFLIES, so I've combined the two.


I've used the new Butterfly Stamps from Oak House Studio and inked the solid butterfly with their Triple Pigment Ink pads - starting with the Fruity Reds, Sunshine Yellows, Autumn Leaves, Meadow Greens, Sky Blues and Berry Purples to get that rainbow look.  I've over stamped these with the Walesby patterned butterfly and also used the same colour inks to create the border.  It's just finished with the Without Change sentiment.

I'm also linking this to the Craft Stamper's Take It, Make It Challenge where anything goes as long as there is some stamping somewhere ....this is all stamping!!

I hope you like and it brightens your day!!
