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.

To make this card, I used:

Island Indigo

Whisper White

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.

I got lots of new goodies a while back, but the recent sun spurred me into a bit of a spring clean, so today is the first chance I've had to play around with my gorgeous new bits.

I've made a lovely monochrome card, using the new Swallowtail stamp, which I absolutely love.

It's really difficult to see in the picture, but I've double layered the right wing, and rather than using the basic black, I've created a smaller layer using basic grey ink.

To make this card, I used:

Basic black card stock

Whisper white card stock

Swallowtail Stamp

Basic black and grey ink
