Swallowtail

I've recently purchased the Swallowtail stamp and just love it. I have cased a couple of cards from Eva Gail Lowe on Stampin Connection Click Here For one I used the same colours and only changed the back ground stamps, the other one I changed the Swallowtail embossing powder and sponged two of the new In Colours. Eva Gail very generously sent her tutourial to anyone who sent her an email and then followed up with instructions for taking a class in this card. Thanks Heaps Eva Gail.

Regarding Dahlias

Regarding Dahlias is an awesome stamp set to work with, with very little effort, you can create a stunning card. Here are a couple of examples. Easey peasey.

I've used two of the new In Colours: Crisp Cantaloupe and Pistachio Pudding as well as Whisper White.

Other: En Francais Stamp, Label Love stamp set and punch, Chevron ribbon, Pearl basic jewels.
