A Nature Study and New Botanicals
Filed under Anthology ATC Mailer Kit, Art Projects, Giveaways, Newsletters, Rhonda Secrist Thomas, Sale
I love the watercolors Design Team Member Rhonda Secrist Thomas used on her Nature Study booklet for her August kit project!

Here’s some text from Rhonda’s blog post:
If you’re anything like me, you love vintage images of nature and butterflies. Another favorite, library card catalog drawers, thread drawers, any and all drawers. This months Anthology ATC Kit over at Alpha Stamps brings plenty of variety for use on a multitude of projects, including my Nature Study. Let’s take a peek inside of my tiny specimen drawers.
I began with this cool ATC Envelope Folder that is easy to decorate, and has plenty of spots to add lots of detail.
Of course, there are lots of different routes to take with this theme, but I chose this fabulous Anthology 12×12 Scrapbook Paper called Apothecary Drawers to cover the entire outside of the ATC Folder…
Psst… there’s another photo showing how the booklet folds up in the envelope/mailer down in the Giveaway section.
Read more in Rhonda’s blog post. And/or see her supply list (plus check below in the Giveaway for a chance to win EVERYTHING in this list)!
New Goodies… Many Halloween Themed!

Love the butterflies. I started seeing more of them in our garden just after my mother died so I think of them as little messengers from her.

I love the mailer. This project is so pretty.
I love vintage & winged things!
What a neat idea – the ATC folder.
Love ATCs and things that fold.
Very pretty!
Paper,bugs and folds. Love it.
I adore the entire idea of botanical illustration. I am serious when I say that it is much easier to definitively identify plants with good illustrations, than it is with photographs, which often do not show sufficient fine detail.
I love this ATC grouping of nature watercolors by Rhonda! ATCs are especially fun due to their size, and their little mailer is perfect! Wonderful inspiration!!
