A reprise of Swallowtail resist embossing

I was so happy with my previous resist embossed swallowtail card that I decided to do it again . Using a large background stamp as the focal point of the card doesn’t give many options but I like the stamp too much to relegate it to the background. At the moment anyway.

Stampin' Up! Swallowtail

After using the embossing buddy to remove any static, I stamped the image in versamark and used the white embossing powder. This time I decided to use more colour and sponged with both pumpkin pie and daffodil delight in more or less a circular fashion. I added just a touch of real red towards the outside. I think this gives a completely different look from last time. I then cropped the butterfly and added a mat of pumpkin pie. This was then mounted on a base of daffodil delight. Let me know which you like best.

    In terms of an image, I like them both. In terms of a card, I have to agree with Rebecca. 🙂 It is a sunny, happy card.
