Trying Some Techniques...with Swallowtail

6/16/2014

I'm not a huge butterfly fan, but it only took a brief look on Pinterest to see all the beautiful projects made with the Swallowtail stamp to know I wanted to get it for myself.  Check out these three cards I made using three different techniques for three totally different looks:
Picture
Stained Glass Technique:  
First, stamp on vellum with Versamark and emboss with your choice color of embossing powder.  Here I used Pool Party. Then, turn the vellum over and color with Stampin' Write markers.  I used Rich Razzleberry, Tempting Turquoise, Garden Green, Melon Mambo, and Daffodil Delight.

Bleaching Technique:
First, I filled an empty stamp case with paper towel and saturated with bleach.  Then, I stamped the Swallowtail in the bleach directly on Basic Gray cardstock (Melon Mambo cardstock also looks great, but note, this does not work on Basic Black cardstock!).  Then, I spritzed with black ink, added accents using the Chalk Marker, and finished off adding some rhinestones.

Stylus Embossing Technique:
This card I CASE-d (copy and share everything) from Dawn Griffith.  She stamped the Swallowtail on vellum using Black Stazon ink.  Then, turn the vellum over and use a stylus to dry emboss the details.  Then, two squares of Basic Gray cardstock were added behind to add a contrasting look.  The vellum was adhered to Whisper White cardstock using silver mini brads.
