Some of the colours are returning colours, which have been previously retired, others are totally new. The chart below outlines the new and returning colours:

This does however mean that some current colours are being retired, and with immediate effect, will only be available until they're sold out.

Another Swallowtail card...

I told you it was going to become one of my favourites, and it has!

I find this stamp soo versatile- you can use it for anything, and change the way that you use it and colour schemes to suit any need.

This was another reverse embossing method; you emboss using a light coloured powder, then once it's been heated, you colour over it using inks and sponges. 

You can see from the picture, I used 2 blues- darker in the middle and lighter around the outside.

Thank you...

Building my stockpile of cards before I go back to work, I decided on a simple thank you card, which I can then dish out if needed.

It took me about 15 minutes to make this one, and could so easily be reproduced in a number of different colours.
