Such Charming Bangles!

Hey there!  I've caught the wooden bangle bug and made two more simple bangles to share with you for this week's collaboration between Stampendous and DIY Bangles of Indus Trading Company.  I'm telling you, these are the easiest bangles in the world to create with, it just doesn't get any easier!  First things first, I wanted to give them a natural look so I picked out two Tim Holtz Distress Ink pads, tea dye and peeled paint, and stipple brushed one color on each bangle.  I looked through my stash of Stampendous stamps and there was my Charm Collection Perfectly Clear Stamp Set just calling my name.  It was definitely an "a-ha" moment.  The charm-sized stamps are perfect for these bracelets.  For the larger bracelet I used both butterfly stamps, both bird stamps and the crown.  Using my Jet Black Staz-On, I stamped each image on each one of the flat parts.  For the green bangle I only used the one butterfly stamp.  I really like how these came out, simple but pretty.



I hope I've inspired you to give these a try, like I said before, they're so easy to do!  Be sure to come back on Saturday for the final hop.  Don't forget to leave a comment on my blog today to be eligible to win a prize from either Stampendous or DIY Bangles.  Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,
Lea
