Look what my little Luke found in our yard a couple days ago! It's so pretty, right?
Little did we know, though. This is one caterpillar that doesn't like to be handled and will "sting". Ouch! It's an American Dagger Moth Caterpillar. It didn't hurt Luke, but Nick got it when he tried transferring it into our screened-in bug container. He's okay – no reaction…no rash. But still… We won't be picking up THIS kind of caterpillar anymore.
Yellow is just one of those very eye catching colors. Sun flowers, rubber ducks, sun beams, canaries and fall leaves are just a few items that immediately draw us in. Even traffic signs that need our immediate attention are in yellow.
Here is a nice bright card that screams out "hello!" You can safely pick this one up, though.
Love this stamp set?! It will be available August 28th. You'll find Bright & Beautiful in the Holiday catalog. It looks very Christmasy in the publication, but I've made a couple cards with these stamps that have nothing to do with Christmas – this star card and a Halloween one that I'll share in a future post.
In the meantime, while we wait for the arrival of the Holiday Catalog (and all the fabulous new products inside), enjoy the rest of August without any stings from the American Dagger Moth Caterpillar.
Currently the Bright & Beautiful Stamp Set (wood-mount and clear-mount) is not available. But I've linked them anyways, so that on August 28th the links will become active and you'll be able to locate these stamps in my online store.
The other supplies that I used on this card are:
