Awhile back I did this post Pink Thrifting and told you that I would be doing a stamping project on those pretty little pink cocktail napkins .
Ta da!!! I got them done and I think they turned out pretty cute!!!
You can't get much more French than the bee, which is one of the emblems of Napoleon's court.
| The Bee Symbol of immortality and resurrection, the bee was chosen so as to link the new dynasty to the very origins of France. Golden bees (in fact, cicadas) were discovered in 1653 in Tournai in the tomb of Childeric I, founder in 457 of the Merovingian dynasty and father of Clovis. They were considered as the oldest emblem of the sovereigns of France. |  |

I love, love, love this stamp set by Darcie's. This company doesn't
even know I exist. Last year when I was making my little heart pillows
out of eyelet and muslin I used this set...it is just so sweet! I use
the "You and Me...meant to Bee" for little tags to price things for the
shop.
I absolutely find the lined/grid acrylic stamp block essential for
optimum placement. I can line up the stamp on the block and I can see
through to line up placement on fabric or paper.

Oh, heavens to Betsy....these napkins are so pretty! I am super impressed that you did this yourself! I'm not much at creating like this. You really knocked this out of the park!!! The bee looks so regal.
ReplyDeleteI have lots of stamps, many which would be neat with their impression on napkins or other linens. I think I'll have to check out archival ink. I'd never heard of it before now. It sounds like the perfect solution to waking up some tired old linens!
Thanks for sharing! Have a great week!
Those are adorable. Where have I been? I didn't even know you could stamp on fabric!
ReplyDeleteThese are so darn cute. Thanks for sharing the information about the bee...I had no idea. Love the idea of the clear stamp too, it would make stamping so much easier.
