A long holiday weekend has afforded me the opportunity to spend more time in my craft room. I love when that happens! With some free time on my hands, I reached for a new stamp called Swallowtail (#129216-C, #129213-W). I'll admit, it's a little intimidating at first because of it's size but once I started playing with it, I liked it!
The detail in this stamp is so beautiful. Because of that I wanted to keep the rest of the card simple. To add just a little color, I added three paper flags using the Print Poetry paper pack (#129312). I also added a layer of Raspberry Ripple card stock to coordinate with the sentiment and a sweet little button with linen thread. And finally, for some added interest, I took out the Color Spritzer Tool (#107066) from my "Cool Tool" box and spritzed Raspberry Ripple ink from a marker to the card.
We are just about half way through the biggest and best promotion of the year...Sale-a-bration. If you haven't taken advantage of this great deal, now is the time to do so. For every $50 you spend, you will earn FREE stuff! Yep, I said FREE! Read all about it.
Have a great day.
This is beautiful! I did not give this stamp a second thought when I first saw it in the catalog but your card and others I have seen have completely changed my mind! Love the little pops of color with the DP in the corner!

Very pretty! I love how you added the designer paper in the corner.
