Swallowtail Butterfly

A stamp that makes a striking card is Swallowtail by Stampin Up. In these three examples I embossed the image and colored by sponging on ink. 

It was really fun to play with different color combinations. On the first example, I added a speckle stamp for a little background detail.  The second has some gold thread and gems and the third has a strip of gold trim.  I will  definitely use this stamp often.
