For a stamp that feels almost too large and unwieldy, the Swallowtail background stamp has to be one of the most versatile stamps. And the results are almost always outstanding. I happen to like the way the image looks embossed on vellum. There is an added elegance to it, especially when done with Silver Embossing powder.
I kept my colours toned down somewhat so that the silver and the jewel tones of the colours in the wings would pop. Added to the edge is a cute little scallop and at the top of each scallop I've added a little rhinestone. In the background, under the vellum, you can just make out the design from the Very Vintage Wheel which I used on the cardstock.
It's my "Ode to Spring"---a thank you that it has finally begun.
Don't forget that the Wacky Watercooler Blog Hop will begin on Thursday. Yes! This Thursday. You'll love it!
