Hello stampers!
Sorry for the long hiatus from crafting, my husband and I have been caring for my father in our home since the beginning of the year. Sadly, we lost him a couple of weeks ago and I haven't felt up to crafting.
I thought for my first post since his passing, an orchid flower would be fitting to share. I know I've shared many samples using the {Climbing Orchid} stamp set... I told you before that I loved it! You can view my project below.
I fell in love with the samples in the annual catalogue for this set, especially the one that I based my project on. I am an avid crafter so I had a bunch of clay pots on hand, and grabbed some pruning snips and cut a twig that would be perfect for this project from one of my shrubs.
I coloured the flower petals and leaves with an aquapainter and ink refills. I used Pumpkin Pie, Melon Mambo, Tangerine Tango and Old Olive for the leaves. I used hot glue to attach the orchids and leaves to the stem. I put a bit of oasis foam to put in the pot.
Beckie I am sorry to hear of your loss. Glad to see you are able to craft again, hope it will help your spirits to do something creative. Love your orchids, as always, and thanks for the inspiration
