nature is the art of God

Being an observer of nature and the passage of seasons, it's definitely Spring in the Pacific Northwest. Every kind of bulb pushing through the earth to put on a show of color.  And I am guessing the caterpillars are waking up now that new leaves are unfurling on the perennials.  Those furry, creepy crawlers will eat their weight in my garden preparing to burst forth in a myriad of color, eventually spreading their wings and flying to and fro.

I am entering this into the Fashionable Stamping Challenges #109 Butterflies.  The call was to use butterflies on your work.  I managed to find a mix of butterflies and moths in my collection.

They were stamped on watercolor paper with Archival Black.  All were colored with Caran d'Ache watercolor crayons and Twinkling H2O's.  The sentiment is from Wordsworth.  It was inked with Memento Luxe 'Tuxedo Black'.  I used a Club Scrap bamboo fragment to make the frame.

Sunday Stamps 'Rainbow Fun'  is a riot of color.  Seeing their challenge made it easy to get those winged creatures out.  I remember when my sons were learning their colors, we had a saying for

RYOGBV:  [R]ainbows [O]ver [Y]ou, {G}od's [B]lessed [V]ow.  Red, Orange, Yellow, Green,

Blue, and Violet.

Thanks for stopping by.  I wish you a colorful week
