Project Name: A Double Rainbow of Dinos
Project Link: n/a
Brief Description: I have a friend who loves dinosaurs, and often sends little gifts to people in the mail. I though this rainbow set of dinos would be nice for her to use to add a little note in with her packages. And, the sun makes rainbows! These seem like they should have been a zap, but I was using ancient ink pads, and it took a while to get the stamp inked, and cleaned after each color. Plus, on a few of them, I had to wipe off the edges of the stamp so I didn’t get a ring from the stamp base. The fussy bits made it take a little longer than planned, so I used it for the battle!
Thank you, @smeddley, for putting up the March prompts. I find the last prompt, Weed Appreciation, hilarious. Whenever I point out flowers I like, my husband rolls his eyes, because 9 times out of 10 I like what most people consider weeds.
