Hello There,
Well I am so happy today, because I get to share the new Stampin’ Up! Spring Catalog with you and all it contains. This is the first day you get to order from it! Click here to check it out!
My project today features the brand new stamp “Swallowtail” item number 129216. This stamp is big and bold and a blast to color. I love this stamp so much I wish I could get a tatoo of it on my body somewhere. But since I’m currently dropping weight it is probably not the best time to get a tat. Maybe I’ll get one as a reward when I meet my weight loss goal. Do you have a tatoo? Are you happy you did it, any regrets? I would love to hear from you.
Back to the Swallowtail stamp, I can see this stamp being used in a great Spring mobile or butterflies to put on my Spring Wreaths, hummmm, I feel a project coming on, lol.

Stamped the Butterfly using Craft Basic Black ink on a 3.75″ square piece of Whisper White card stock.
Heat embossed the image using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.
Colored the body of the butterfly and the inside of the wings using an Elegant Eggplant marker.
Added Tempting Turquoise marker over lapping the Elegant Eggplant area in order to blend the colors.
Added Gumball Green marker to the rest of the wings, blending with the Tempting Turquoise.
Repeated for the other side.
Colored over the entire butterfly with a Versamarker and then heat embossed the image. It is now totally embossed.
Brayered More Mustard ink at an angle.
Added a 2″ circle mask punched from Post it Note to the corner of the card stock. Brayered Cajun Craze ink on at an angle, not covering the More Mustard ink entirely.
Removed the mask and sponged Cajun Craze ink in the middle of the sun using a circular motion.
Edge the wings and card stock edges using a Stamping Up Gold Marker.
Added texture between the sun and the butterfly by using the Diagonal Simply Scored plate and scoring ever line. Also colored the dots on the edge of the wings with a White gel pen to give it some pop.
Added a 5″ square basic black card stock panel. Pierced holes in the edge of the sun and added gold brads in every other hole.
Added a 5.25″ square Tempting Turquoise card base.
Here is the finished card measuring 5.25″ square. This card has been added to my sale page – click here to check it out.
