Swallowtail card

Hi There,

My share today is another card using the gorgeous "Swallowtail" stamp, which can be found in the new Spring/Summer mini catalogue.  This stamp is huge so is great for just stamping bits of it.

My card base is 4 1-4" square with the top layer being 4" square.

I stamped the butterfly image in back Stazon ink and then used marker pens and a blender pen to colour in.

I dabbed some "Champagne Mist" shimmer paint on the wings of the butterfly to give them that shimmery effect that butterflies have.

If you want any information on this or any project I share, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Short but sweet today, hope you like the card... xx

Another birthday card - CASE'd

Hi,

I have another birthday card to that I wanted to quickly share with you, this time it was for my sister Eileen, whose birthday was earlier in the week.

It uses the "Spotlight" technique that I've been meaning to try for ages but I saw a video on YouTube that Dawn Griffiths posted where she used the "Swallowtail" stamp, which you can find in the brand new Spring/Summer catalogue that goes live today and I knew I had to CASE as it was perfect for this technique.

The "Swallowtail" stamp is huge, as you can see, and really striking.  It's so detailed that there are loads of techniques that you could use it with as it would be very forgiving.

I used "Papillon Potpourri" to decorate the inside and the sentiment comes from the "Perfectly Penned" stamp set, which I've used loads since I got it.

Must dash .... xx
