Shimmered Swallowtail

Here's a card we made at stamp class last week. I started out stamping it with a certain plan in mind, but then I took out the Heat Tool and embossed it! I hadn't done any heat embossing in a while, and Wow! I just fell in love with embossing again!! It's so awesome to emboss - and such pretty results!

Since it didn't need any coloring, I decided to spritz a little extra shimmer with the Frost White Shimmer Paint/rubbing alcohol spray (gonna miss that Shimmer Paint!!).

So Simple Swallowtail!

I love the new Swallowtail single stamp from the Spring catalog. I've had it for a bit, and was kind of intimidated on how to use it. I kept thinking that I wanted to stamp and color it. It's so big though, so I kept setting it aside - and telling myself, "Ya, later!" 

So today I braved it, and just decided to pick a bold color and stamp it. - And there ya go!! I added a saying - and called it done! And I like it!! Hope you do too!
