I wanted to use my new Swallowtail stamp again and I found a great sketch at Freshly Made Sketches to inspire me. I did change it a little and made mine a square card instead so that I could fit the whole butterfly on.
I stamped and embossed the Swallowtail with Elegant Eggplant onto crumb cake card and painted over it with white ink. Then I used wisteria, eggplant and calypso coral markers and a blender pen to colour it.
Ingredients :
Stamps : Swallowtail, Curly Cute
Card : wisteria, white, crumb cake, grey
Ink : stazon, white, versamark, eggplant, markers (eggplant, wisteria, coral)
Other : big shot, elegant bouquet ef, white pen, blender pen
When my 11 year old daughter saw this card she begged me to give it to her for her birthday this year. She is a “purple girl”! :) Her birthday isn’t till August but she just fell in love with this pretty purple butterfly. I’ll save it and give it to her, hopefully she’ll forget about it and be surprised and in love with it all over again!

ReplyDeleteI do think it's the most beautiful one of that image I have seen, and I've seen a lot!
You have a really great talent at coloring!
