Flutter by little butterfly

I am away on retreat for the weekend and whilst away I have been playing with the new Swallowtail stamp. This card is super super easy to make.

Cut your topper 3 and 3/4" square, your card base is 4 by 8, scored at 4"
Stamp the swallowtail stamp with versamark, then stamp on your cream or white topper. Cover with white embossing powder, then heat with your heat gun.

Choose the colours for your butterfly (soft pastel colours work best) and cut a piece of sponge for each colour. Dab your sponge in the ink pad and using a circular motion rub gently over the embossed area. You can go over your colours so they blend together. No two cards will be the same.

Next stamp your greeting, then tape topper to card, insert inner and you are done. I didn't think the card needed a greeting so left it off. It can now be a get well, sympathy, birthday, thank you card.
Till next time
Happy crafting
