I can not stop using the Swallowtail Stamp this spring. I’ve used it every which way I know how and now I thought I’d make it sparkle and shimmer. This card comes together in a matter of minutes and looks like a work of art. You have to try it yourself!
Creative Tips:
- I always use an embossing buddy to keep all those little stray Embossing Powder pieces from sticking, but forgot on this one. I’m sure you can see where little bits stuck! Usually it’s not such a big deal, but on a black background it really shows. See, even I mess up too!
- The camera captured the luminosity and amazing colors of this cool Embossing Powder pretty well. It still looks better in person – you’ll have to trust me on that.
- This card is great for special occasions or just that friend you have that always has to bling it up!
- I didn’t want to take away from the beauty of the EP with the stamp, so I didn’t add a greeting. I don’t think it really needed one.
