My Crafty Friends….

I was very honoured to be asked to participate in “My Crafty Friends Monday” with Josee Smuck at Stamping Jo. Josee is a fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrator in Canada, and is highlighting some cards made using the Swallowtail stamp set.
You can see the card that Josee has featured on her blog here. I thought I would also share another card using the Swallowtail stamp. This is a card we made at a recent class using the Direct Ink to cardstock technique.

We had heaps of fun in this class. The background ink has been added using a back and forth motion with the ink pad directly on the Whisper White cardstock to create the swirly pattern. The colours in the background are Wisteria Wonder and the now retired Pretty in Pink. And the beautiful butterfly is inked in Elegant Eggplant.
If you live in Australia and would like to place an order for this gorgeous stamp, just pop on over to my site which is here. The Wood Mount version is $30.95 (131943) and the Clear Mount version is $24.95 (129216) – Page 71 of the catalogue.
If you live in Canberra, just send me an email or call me on 0449976203 to book in to some of the fun classes I run regularly.

Again, a huge thanks to the lovely Stamping Jo for asking me to join in the fun today. Make sure you check out some of the other Swallowtail inspiration here.
