One of the new stamps coming out in the Spring Catalog is the Swallowtail stamp and I am in love! I did two different cards with the stamp and although I loved the initial blue butterfly, it made a HUGE mess! So I will definitely re-think how I make it again in the future.

| Blue Butterfly |
For this one I embossed it with black embossing powder and then I colored part of the butterfly with the Pacific Point marker and then went back over the white areas with the Glimmer Effects and it looked very nice and I pulled the blue over into the white to give it a blue tint. I let it dry for two days and it was still smearing EVERYWHERE! I ended up ruining 3 of the cards and was not a happy camper. So no more glimmery shimmery stuff for me.

This one was really fun to make! I did the black embossing again, but this time, I used sponge daubers and shaded in some of the butterfly with Pumpkin Pie and it looks great in person! I think I could jazz this up with some rhinestones or something else fun. How cool would that be???
All in all, love, love, love this stamp!!!!
Happy Stamping!
Why don't you have a card named Larry or Stanley or perhaps Eugene? I think the lack of male cards limits your exposure to a masculine audience.
