Hello there!
Around this time of year, I always make a butterfly-themed craft in honor of my Mom who passed away on January 31, 2017.
Whenever I see a butterfly, specifically a Monarch, I know my Mom is making her presence felt, assuring me that she's okay and that everything will be okay.
There is a quote that goes, "Being proactive about remembering is essential to healing." Both crafting and seeing butterflies have definitely helped my healing process.
I have a wide collection of craft stamps and I knew I had to add a set of butterfly stamps to the mix.
Here's what else we'll need for today's project: craft stamps, an ink pad, and an acrylic stamp block to support the clear stamps.
Let's also include a twig (foraged from the backyard), twine, and pendants made from salt dough. You'll find the tutorial here.
I'm using the stamps to decorate these pendants made from salt dough.
Attach the clear stamp onto the acrylic stamp block and dab this on the ink pad, picking up an even and generous amount of ink. Do an initial test on a sheet of paper before inking again and applying the design onto a blank salt dough pendant. Press firmly for about 30 seconds and peel gently, making sure the butterfly print registers well.
The wall hanging is adorable. And classy and country-chic. I love it!
