  • I love using vellum, and I'm always looking for different ways to us it. I'm loving these specimen writing spots. If you don't like bugs in your journal, modify to your liking! So many different things you can do 😊

    Good morning Christy, as long as they aren't real I love bugs. They are so beautiful the way you colored them. Yes fairies and mushrooms sounds like another great idea for stamping. I happen to Love fairies and have many stamps. This was a fun video. Talk about patience the older I get the less I have. Fight with my sewing machine trying to thread the needle. Anyway thank you for sharing these creepy but beautiful bugs. ❤❤❤

    I'm not a bug lover, but your bug sure was pretty. I really like your specimen card with the vellum and the window. Beautiful! The addition of the packing paper is awesome as well. Great project! I make mistakes in every thing I do. Its apt to happen because no one is perfect. One can try to be, but impossible! I love how you roll with your mistakes and make the project even better. Thanks for sharing.

      @CraftedByChristyShop I have the ohuhu and arteza. But the ohuhu is the best on the market they say. I got mine when they first came out. They are some really nice ones. I don't like Copic. To expensive and I guess they dry out due to cracked sides on tip of plastic. Weird but true. But probably any brand works well. But if you can afford I recommend ohuhu.
