There is no "s" on Orchid. I don't know how many times I've typed or spoken the "s". Botanically speaking, I guess the whole plant is the orchid so even if there is more than one bloom it is still one orchid. Now that we have that straight let's check this bundle out:
This is so much fun to play with.
Melon Mambo/Basic Black with Lemon Lime Twist/Basic Black and just a strip black and white DSP from Pick Pattern. Is there anyone else out there who will admit to buying DSP mostly for their black and white prints. They always seem to be my favorite!
Luckily there is also Pick a Pattern Washi Tape! Another good way to get a B&W fix.
Changing gears entirely...I whitewashed a few different tones of Wood Textures DSP with some acrylic paint. I stamped and cut the orchid flowers out of the lighter toned piece and then put a wash of Pink Pirouette and Calypso Coral over them with my aquapainter. The darker, gray toned paper was used for my background. This is another card that I made for the Dare to Get Dirty Challenges.

My hint with this set applies to any set that has thinlets. Count the pieces in each set and write it on the package or however you store your thinlets. Then make sure you count them and put them away each time you use them. So far I still have everything from this set only because I checked the count when I put mine away - a little too long after I had first used them. One of the tiniest thinlets was stuck to a post it somewhere else and I spent 2 hours hunting for it.
Enjoy the weekend - find some time to be creative - and I'll be back on Monday.
